Table of Contents

    171. “And certainly Our word has already gone forth for Our servants, the apostles:”

    172. “Verily they shall be the assisted ones.”

    173. “And verily Our host alone shall be the victorious ones.”

    The prophets of Allah being helped is Allah’s way of treatment. The future will also witness the victory of the Divine prophets and the failure of their enemies. The prophets and their followers are the troops of Allah, and certainly the army of Allah is victorious in all sense.

    Therefore, these three verses indicate that the conclusive promise of Allah about the sincere servants of Allah has already been confirmed that they will be helped and the army of Allah is always victorious in all scenes. What an explicit and expressive sentence, and what an enlivening and pleasant promise this is!

    Allah says:

    “And certainly Our word has already gone forth for Our servants, the apostles:” “Verily they shall be the assisted ones.” “And verily Our host alone shall be the victorious ones.”

    Yes, the victory of the army of truth over the troops of falsehood and the help of Allah unto the sincere servants is among the certain promises of Allah and is one of His decisive treatments which has been mentioned in the above verses as an Allah’s way of treatment done from the beginning.

    It is evident that Allah, Who is Mighty over everything, and there has not been any failure in His promises, can fulfill these great promises and, like the unchangeable precedent custom of the world of existence, will make the men of truth completely victorious.

    This Divine promise is one of the most important issues by which the people of the way of truth are encouraged and take spirit from it whenever they become tired.
