“When will the oppressed be freed from their oppressors?”
“Why is the ummah not at the level that it should be?”
Have these thoughts ever crossed your mind?

Allah says:
🔵 “Do you think you will be admitted into Paradise without being tested like those before you? They were afflicted with suffering and adversity and were ˹seriously˺ shaken that ˹even˺ the Messenger and the believers with him cried out saying: "When will Allah’s help come?" Indeed, Allah’s help is ˹always˺ near.”
[Surah Al-Baqarah 2 : 214]

Notice something beautiful in the ayah? Immediately right after we reach the peak of hardship and adversity, Allah says: Indeed, without a doubt, His help and victory are near.

As we go through this adversity and weakness as an ummah, and we might feel like our situation is hopeless, know that help and success are right at the door.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: ❝I have left you with two matters which will never lead you astray, as long as you hold to them: the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of his Prophet.❞ [Al-Muwatta’ 1661 | Graded Authentic by Ibn Abdul Barr]
