The Trustworthy, He Who Gives Tranquillity
He is Allah—there is no deity but Him. He is the King, the
Most Pure, the Perfect Peace, the Trustworthy, the
Safeguarder, the Almighty, the Compeller, the Supremely
Great. Glory be to Allah above all that they associate with
Him. (Surat al-Hashr, 59:23)

Allah presents a pleasing life to believers both in this world and
the next. This life, which is perfect in all respects, makes them spiri-
tually strong. Indeed, Allah gives spiritual peace and security to sin-
cere believers. When they face any difficulty, He supports them,
confirms His signs on their hearts, and, through the trust they put in
Him, allows them to lead a peaceful life. The Qur’an informs us
about this spiritual support after the Companions suffered a defeat
during the time of our Prophet (saas):
Allah has helped you on many occasions, including the
Day of Hunayn, when your great numbers delighted you
but did not help you in any way, and the land seemed nar-
row to you for all its great breadth, and you turned your
backs. Then Allah sent down His serenity on His
Messenger and on the believers, and sent down troops you
could not see, and punished those who were unbelievers.
That is how the unbelievers are repaid. Then after that,
Allah will turn to anyone He wills. Allah is Ever-Forgiving,
Most Merciful. (Surat at-Tawba, 9:25-27)
There have always been people who, insisting upon denying
Allah, work to turn sincere believers away from the straight path
