What Wisdom Brings With It

ALLAH’S HELP AND SUPPORT
You who believe! You are only responsible for your-
selves. The misguided cannot harm you as long as you
are guided. All of you will return to Allah and He will
inform you about what you were doing. (Surat al-
Ma’ida: 105)
In this verse Allah informs the believers of a very important

and who follow the teachings of the Qur’an. Because such peo-

live their lives accordingly, they always receive Allah’s help and
support in return. Allah helps believers and has promised to

… Allah will certainly help those who help Him—
Allah is Powerful, Almighty. (Surat al-Hajj: 40)
Allah explains in another verse, that He helps and supports
those that believe in Him sincerely and that He makes things
easier for them:
As for him who gives [generously], performs his duty
and acts charitably in the finest manner, We shall facili-

who are victorious! (Surat al-Ma’ida: 56)
In Surat al-Anbiya’, Allah points out that the truth and just-
ness always wins over falsehood. This is why, people of wisdom
who follow the right path always win against those who hide
