1089. PERSEVERANCE AND VICTORY

(كَمْ مِنْ فِئَةٍ قَلِيْلَةٍ غَلَبَتْ فِئَةً كَثِيرَةً بِإذْنِ اللَّهِ واللَّهُ مَعَ الصَّابِرِيْنَ).¹

“How many a small party has overcome a larger party by Allah’s will! And Allah is with the patient.”²

(بَلَى‏ إنْ تَصْبِرُوا وَتَتَّقُوا وَيَأْتُوكُم مِنْ فَورِهِمْ هذا يُمْدِدْكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ بِخَمْسَةِ آلافٍ مِن المَلائكَةِ مُسَوِّمِينَ).³

“Yes, if you persevere and are conscious of your duty to Allah, and should they come upon you suddenly, your Lord will aid you with five thousand marked angels.”⁴
