Allah's Help!

Bismillahir Rehmanir Raheem

Let us see, how close our Lord is to us and knows our nature so well!

These are indeed the Words of Allah which soothe us and make us understand how we should behave in prosperity and adversity.

Surah al baqara juz 2 ayah 214

“Or do they think that they shall enter the garden of bliss without such trials as came to those who passed away before you?

They encountered suffering and adversity, and were so shaken in spirit that even the Messenger and those of faith who were with him cried: “when will come the help of Allah” Ah! Verily, the help of Allah is always near!

Surah Ale Imran Juz 4 Ayah 139-140

So lose not heart. Nor fall into despair: For ye must gain mastery if you are true in Faith.

If a wound hath touched you, be sure a similar wound hath touched the others.

Such days of (varying fortunes) We give to men and men by turns: that Allah may know those that believe, and that He may take to Himself from your ranks Martyr-witnesses (to truth). And that Allah loveth not those who do wrong.

Surah Fussilat Juz 24 Ayah 49

Man does not weary of asking for good (things), but if ill touches him, he gives up all hope and is lost in despair.

Ayah 51

When We bestow favors on man, he turns away, and gets himself remote on his side (instead of coming to Us); and when evil seizes him, (he comes) full of prolonged prayer!

Surah Al Sharh Juz 30 Ayah 5-6

So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:

Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.

Those of us who are worried, tense or sad for some reason or the other must read these words of Allah with understanding at least thrice; so that, Allah willing, our heart finds peace and we realize that our Lord is not unmindful of us; rather He is the Best Helper and the wanderer’s Guide.
