In Allah, then, let the believers CH. 3 PT. 4 ĀL-E-‘IMRĀN 161. If Allah help you, none shall overcome you; but if He E اِنْ يَّنْصُرُكُمُ اللهُ فَلَا غَالِبَ لَكُمُ وَإِنْ يَخْذُلُكُمْ فَمَنْ ذَا الَّذِى forsake you, then who is there يَنْصُرُكُم مِّنْ بَعْدِهِ وَ عَلَى اللهِ ?that can help you beside Him فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَمَا كَانَ لِنَبِيَّ أَنْ يَغُلَّ وَمَنْ يَغْلُلُ يَأْتِ بِمَاغَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِمَةِ ثُمَّ تَوَقُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ whoever acts dishonestly shall مَّا كَسَبَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُوْنَ ) put their trust. 443 162.
