My name is Subhan.
I'm 26 years old from Tajikistan Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala in surah al-muhammad chapter
47 verse number 7 says if you help
Allah then Allah will help you Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala does not require our help.
So why in this verse of the glorious
Quran It is mentioned if you help Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala then Allah will help
you.
Please answer my question Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala does say in surah al-muhammad chapter
47 verse number 7 Ya ayyuhalladheena aamanu in
tansurullaha yamsurukum wa yithabbit aqdamakum Oh you believe
if you help Allah then Allah will help
you and he will keep you steadfast Now
in order to understand this verse we need
to look at the context.
We need to read from From surah al
-muhammad chapter 47 verse number 4.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in surah
al-muhammad chapter 47 verse number 4 when
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala talks about the
situation of war when the believers meet the
Enemies and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells
the believers to strike the neck of the
enemies and later on Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala Talks about the reward for the believers
that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will give
them paradise And then in verse number 7
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says Ya ayyuhalladheena
aamanu in tansurullaha yamsurukum wa yithabbit aqdamakum That
oh you believe if you help Allah that
is if you aid in spreading the message
of Islam if you are obedient to Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala then Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala.
He will help you and he will keep
you steadfast When Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
says in this verse of the glorious Quran
that oh you believe if you help Allah
What does it mean?
it means that if you are obedient to
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala if you obey
the commandments of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
if you Live your life as per the
teachings of Islam then Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala will help you if you strive in
the way of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will help you
as Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in
surah al-ankabut chapter number 29 Verse number
69 wal ladheena jahadu feena lana hdiyannahum subhulana
wa inna allaha la ma'al muhsineen And
those who strive in our way we shall
surely open up their pathways so if you
strive in the way of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will
help you and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
does not require the help of anyone He's
self-sufficient.
It is we who require the help of
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala So if we
aid in doing dawah in spreading the message
of Islam We will find success in this
life and the next if we are obedient
to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala We will
find success in this life and the next
and if you look at the lifestyle of
our beloved Prophet Muhammad May peace and blessings
be upon him the first 13 years of
prophethood During the Meccan period the Muslims they
were tortured and persecuted Yet they were patient
and they had hope in Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala and because they were patient Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala granted the victory later
on when they went to Medina and during
the Battle of Badr and later on when
during the conquest of Mecca when they came
in Thousands and the Prophet peace be upon
him forgave those people who oppressed and persecuted
him Why were the Sahaba's granted victory?
Why was the Prophet peace be upon him
granted victory because he was patient.
He was steadfast he did not lose hope
in the mercy of Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala the Sahaba they Were patient and it
paid off and they were granted with victory
they were blessed with victory We see our
Palestinian brother and sisters They are tortured and
persecuted.
Why are they bearing it with patience?
Why are they so strong and brave because
they know that the life of this world
It is only temporary but the home of
the year after it is everlasting and it
is eternal Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has
chosen these human beings to Protect Masjid Al
-Aqsa and to stand up firmly against oppression
against injustice and Inshallah, they will be granted
with victory Alaa inna nasr Allahi qareeb.
Verily the victory of Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala it is near And Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala says in the glorious Quran Wala
tahsabanna allaha ghafilan amma ya'mal al-dhalimun innama
yu'akhiruhum liyawmin tashhasu fihi al-absar and
do not Think that Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala does not know what the transgressors and
oppressors are doing but Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala delays Their punishment for a day when
they will see when their faces will be
in horror Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is
giving respite to the oppressors But a painful
punishment awaits for those people who are oppressing
our Palestinian brother and sisters Many of them
may go scot-free in this world, but
on the day of judgment Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala will hold them accountable for the
oppression that they have done and Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala will inshallah reward our Palestinian
brother and sisters with the best reward and
We pray to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
that we admit all of the martyrs From
among our Palestinian brother and sisters with janatul
firdaus So what we learn from our Palestinian
brother and sisters is that they are strong
and steadfast That's the reason They are content
with the mercy with the decree of Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala And they have the
contentment of heart and they know that their
family members who have passed away They have
they have gone to a better place and
they are martyrs Who strove and who died
for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala, so I hope that answers your question
