he true friend, helper,
                                       guardian, and protector of
                                      believers is Allah. He knows
                                   everything and has power over
                             everything. In addition, He eases the be-
                       lievers' burdens and makes them strong and supe-

                      rior. This is why believers never succumb to hope-
                     lessness, despair, sorrow, carelessness, or surrender.
                         Allah promises in the following verse that He will

                     been pulled down and destroyed. Allah will certainly
                     help those who help Him – Allah is All-Strong,
                     Almighty. (Surat Al-Hajj: 40)
                     Allah also conveys the following good news: Irrespective

                of the indestructible appearance of the unbelievers' rule and
                conspiracies, their efforts will come to naught and they will
                not achieve the results they desire. Every conspiracy and
