                        The Helper; The Supporter
             We supported them, and so they were the victors. (Surat as-
             Saffat, 37:116)

             Allah is our sole helper and guardian. In all difficulties and sit-
         uations, believers ask for His help and He accepts their call. In order
         to establish justice, acquire property and recover from an illness so
         that they could pursue Allah’s good pleasure, the Prophets turned to
         Allah alone. In return, He answered their sincere calls and guided
         them at all times. Allah promises the following in His book:
             Our Word was given before to Our servants, the
             Messengers, that they would certainly be helped. (Surat as-
             Saffat, 37:171-72)
             In this way, We have assigned to every Prophet an enemy
             from among the evildoers. But your Lord is a sufficient
             guide and helper. (Surat al-Furqan, 25:31)
             In “... it is Our duty to help the believers” (Surat ar-Rum,
         30:47),  Allah states that He will help His believing servants.
         However, among the most important prerequisites for earning
         Allah’s good pleasure is to help His religion, observe His limits
         meticulously, and strive for this cause. In return, He always helps
         them. As Allah promises, victory belongs only to those who believe
         in our Lord and struggle to attain His good pleasure and consent.
         One verse reads:
             Allah has promised those of you who believe and do right
             actions that He will make them successors in the land, just
             as He made those before them successors; will firmly estab-
