As a result, many of the righteous turned to him, forsaking their homelands for the sake of Allah the Almighty, and adopting his village as their home in the hope of attaining the mercy of Allah the Most Forgiving. Consequently, the enemies burnt with envy and they hatched all kinds of plots but they all dissolved into dust. They tried all stratagems but the only portion they acquired from God was their own destruction. They collaborated against him and mounted a united attack. But he returned with the grace of Allah and greater worldwide acclaim. Thus did Allah help His servant and fulfil His promise. God Almighty granted him many helpers and gave him the glad tiding that He would protect him against his enemies and that He would attack whosoever attacks him. Accordingly, God fulfilled His promise and kept him safe from all types of harm. God has made him a chosen one, free from every type of defilement, and has purified him. He drew him near to Himself for special com- munion and revealed to him that which He did reveal, and taught him the path of wisdom and guidance, and on his account joined together the Signs from both the earth and the high heavens. He warded off the mischief of his enemies. He caused all his affairs to be based on piety and righteousness and rectified his matters after they had suffered great dissipation. He enabled his arrow to hit its target every time. God Almighty caused the world to serve him like a maid who comes to him selflessly, opened the door of every bounty, and protected him against every calamity. He nourished him and taught him on His own, and thus revealed to him profound verities. He came to you at the appointed time. Hence, what do you say about this man? Is he truthful or is he a liar? What is the source of this beneficence? Did Allah bestow on him what He bestowed or does Satan possess the power to do these great things? Explain and be rewarded, and fear the Day of the final decision that will expose all that is concealed.
