God's Promise and Help To Believers
their faith and they said, "God is enough for us and the
Best of Guardians." So they returned with blessings and
bounty from God and no evil touched them. They
pursued the pleasure of God. God's favour is indeed
immense. (Surah Al 'Imran: 173-174)
Let us remind ourselves that disbelievers may from time
to time seem to have the upper hand. However, it is merely a
trial from God for believers. As we said earlier, it is part of a
divine plan to distinguish the true believers from those who
are weaker in faith. Believers who put their trust in God,
show patience and see good in all that happens, show forth
clearly their loyalty and trust in God. That is why, those who
will earn God's pleasure, both in this world and in the life of
the Hereafter, and who will ultimately triumph, are the
believers:
As for those who make God their friend, and His
Messenger and those who believe: it is the party of God
who are victorious! (Surat al-Ma'ida: 56)
