Allah helps you, none can overcome you. But if He forsakes you, who can help you after Him? And in Allah let the believers put their trust.” He, Most High, also says:

“If only they had been content with what Allah and His Messenger gave them and had said, ‘Allah is sufficient for us. Allah will give us from His bounty, and so will His Messenger. To Allah alone we turn in hope.’”

He, Most High, also says:

“Those to whom people said, ‘The people have gathered against you, so fear them.’ But this increased them in faith, and they said, ‘Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best Disposer of affairs.’”

He, Most High, also says: “The example of those who disbelieve in their Lord is that their deeds are like ashes blown fiercely by the wind on a stormy day. They have no power
