The Guardian
They have the word “obedience” on their tongues, but when
they leave your presence, a group of them spend the night
plotting to do other than what you say. Allah is recording
their nocturnal plotting. So let them be and put your trust in
Allah. Allah suffices as a Guardian. (Surat an-Nisa’, 4:81)

Allah wants His sincere and faithful servants to trust Him in
every circumstance. Indeed, all Prophets encountered many difficul-
ties and much enmity while spreading Allah’s message within their
unbelieving communities. And yet they always maintained their
brave and resolute attitude for, seeking only Allah’s good pleasure,
they took refuge in Allah.
Allah informs us that He helps those who help His religion.
There will always be people who fight believers and follow Satan.
They may hatch plots to harm believers and strive to break their zeal
with offensive words and slanders. Yet they can never attain their
goals, for their plans are feeble next to Allah’s infinite power and
wisdom. Allah, Who knows and sees all the details of every plot,
helps the patient and resolute believers who befriend Him and en-
ables them to attain the best. This metaphysical phenomenon is in-
comprehensible to unbelievers. In this way, believers who trust in
Allah attain great spiritual and physical strength. Allah mentions
this in the following verses:
Those who submit themselves completely to Allah and do
good have grasped the Firmest Handhold. The end result of
all affairs is with Allah. (Surah Luqman, 31:22)
