62 not seek help from any other than Me. I am Allah, there is no God except Me. There is no strength except My strength. When We descend into the environs of people, evil is the morning of those who have been warned. I shall come to you suddenly with My hosts and there will be triumph and victory. I shall roll like the waves of the sea. This is where the mischief is. Then be steadfast as those of high resolve were steadfast. We shall send you flames of fire [by way of trial]. Believers will be tried and then secu- rity will be restored to you. And it is possible that you dislike something, yet in reality it is beneficial for you. God Almighty knows the end results of things and you do not know. The mill shall revolve and Divine decree shall descend. This is the grace of God that has been promised. It certainly shall come; no one can dare to ward it off. Say, ‘I swear by my God, that this indeed is the truth; neither shall it change at all, nor shall it remain hidden. ’ A matter will arise which will amaze you. This is the word of God who is the God of the high heavens. My Lord does not deviate from the straight course that He practises with His exalted servants and He does not for- get those of His servants who are deserving of help. So you will have a clear victory but this verdict is delayed until such time as has been preordained by God. You are with Me and I am with you. Say, ‘All matters are in the control of my God’ and then leave him in his error and pride. The All-Powerful is with you and He knows all that is hidden. Indeed, even matters that are utmost secret and beyond the comprehension of man, are known to Him.
