Iran with their agenda, the US sponsoring the bloodbath consisting of mostly women and children (see the report by Oxfam – Genocide in Gaza Has Been Deadliest Year for Women and Kids in 2 Decades | Truthout), Israel breaking laws on the international stage, others peeking in to see where they can get a piece of Masjidul Aqsa, we Muslims never are to lose hope.
Remaining steadfast and never to lose hope is key, tolerance is vital in our journey. Never abandon Islam whether on the battlefield or in your own home town. Allah Ta’aala’s plan is ultimate.
“They plan, Allah plans. And Allah is the best of planners”
Surah 3, Aal ‘Imraan, Verse 54
Allah helps those who help Him (His Deen)
Surah 22 – Al-Hajj, Verse 40
We do feel incapacitated, but Allah Ta’alaa knows our condition all very well. Anxiously waiting for Nasrullah (Nasrullah does not refer Hezbush Shaytaan’s chief, Nasrullah refers to the help of Allah.) Nasrullah will come but it requires patience and determination. Allah Azza wa Jall says:
أمْ حَسِبْتُمْ اَنْ تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ وَ لَمَّا یَاْتِكُمْ مَّثَلُ الَّذِیْنَ خَلَوْا مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ مَسَّتْهُمُ الْبَاْسَآءُ وَ الضَّرَّآءُ وَ زُلْزِلُوْا حَتّٰى یَقُوْلَ الرَّسُوْلُ وَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ
Do you think that you will enter Paradise despite that there have not yet come upon you circumstances as of those who have passed away before you? They were afflicted by hardship and suffering and were so shaken down that the prophet, and those who believed with him, began to say:
مَتٰى نَصْرُ اللّٰهِ
“When the help of Allah (will come) “?
اَلَاۤ اِنَّ نَصْرَ اللّٰهِ قَرِیْبٌ
Behold, the help of Allah is near.
Surah al Baqarah, Verse 214
Our assistance is to bring to true Imaan, continue do good actions, encourage the Haqq (the truth (the Shari’ah) and for Muslims globally to reform) and to send encouragement to hold on patiently:
“Except those who bring Imaan and did righteous deeds, and advised each other for truth, and advised each other for patience”
Surah 103- Al-Asr, Verse 3
Consider why we are making dua and it is not being accepted:
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُول اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُرُوا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَانْهَوْا عَنْ الْمُنْكَرِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَدْعُوا فَلَا يُسْتَجَابَ لَكُمْ
سنن ابن ماجه
Sayyidah Siddeeqah ‘Aa’isha Radhiyallahu Anha reported: Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘Alaihi wa Sallam, said, “Enjoin good and forbid evil before you call upon Allah and He does not answer you.”
