complained to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) whenhe was reclining on his cloak in the shade of the
Ka'bah. We said to him:"Why do you not ask Allaah to help us (grant
usvictory)? Why do you not pray to Allaah for us?" He said, "A man
from the people before you would be placed in a hole dug for him, then
they would bring a saw and cut his head in two, yet that would not
make him renounce his faith. They would use an iron comb to drag the
flesh and nerves from his bones, yetthat would not make him renounce
his faith. By Allaah, this matter will be completed (i.e. Islam will
be perfected and will prevail) until a rider travelling from Sana' to
Hadramawt will fear nobody but Allaah or the attack of a wolf on his
sheep, but you are too impatient." Source: Sahih Bukhari.
The conditions of Muslims may go up and down but Islam will always
remain on top. We should never lose hope even during themost difficult
times as Allah is always in control. Surely, Allah helps those who are
patient.
