*Surah Aal-e-Imran, Verse 125:*
بَلَىٰ إِن تَصْبِرُوا وَتَتَّقُوا وَيَأْتُوكُم مِّن فَوْرِهِمْ هَٰذَا يُمْدِدْكُمْ رَبُّكُم بِخَمْسَةِ آلَافٍ مِّنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ مُسَوِّمِينَ
"Yes, if you hold on to patience and piety, and the enemy comes rushing at you; your Lord will help you with five thousand angels having marks (of distinction)."
*COMMENTARY*
Musawwim: this is the active voice of the verb, not to be confused with the passive voice in Sūra Āl-'Imrān, verse 14, which has a different signification.
﷽
*Surah Aal-e-Imran, Verse 126:*
وَمَا جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَّا بُشْرَىٰ لَكُمْ وَلِتَطْمَئِنَّ قُلُوبُكُم بِهِ وَمَا النَّصْرُ إِلَّا مِنْ عِندِ اللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَكِيمِ
Allah made it not but as a message of good news for you and as an assurance to your hearts. And there is no victory except from Allah, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.
*COMMENTARY*
Whatever happens, whether there is a miracle or not, all help proceeds from Allāh. Man should not be so arrogant as to suppose that his own resources will change the current of the world plan. Allāh helps those who show constancy, courage, and discipline, and use all the human means at their disposal, not those who fold their hands and have no faith. But Allāh's help is determined on considerations exalted far above our petty human motive, and by perfect wisdoms, of which we can have only faint glimpse.
