La hawla wala quwwata illa billah!

Phrases we hear and read: "Look how they mock Islam"..."La hawla wala quwwata illa billah!" "Look how they spread corruption"...."Hassbi Allah wa na'im al-wakil!" My friend, what did you gain from this speech? - "So that people know what is happening." - Then what? Did you give people practical steps to confront this evil? Did you throw the staff of truth with evidence and knowledge so that the falsehoods of the deniers are exposed and their magic turns against them, saving people from their delusions? Or is it just lamentation and regret? - "But denying evil, even in the heart, is worship...sorrow for what befalls Islam is worship" - As for denying evil, yes, but as for sorrow, no! It is not worship. It is praiseworthy from the aspect of showing the life of your heart, and praiseworthy when you turn it into a force that drives you to defend Islam, turning your sorrow into joy as you see that Allah uses you to glorify His religion. - But sorrow that leads to despair is the strongest weapon of the devils of mankind and jinn against us! - Fields of defending Islam are available in an unprecedented way in the era of open communication...and for myself, since I started the battle of spreading awareness and correcting concepts, I no longer find time, not even for lamentation and sorrow over people's conditions! I feel pain, I get angry for Allah, then I turn my pain and anger into awareness and defense of truth and exposure of falsehood and its people, then I see the results in people's thoughts and their love for Allah and their pride in His religion, so I rejoice and my determination strengthens, and I continue. - And if I lament for something, it is for any shortcoming in utilizing my life...and if I fear something, it is that death may come to me before I complete the tasks I have set before my eyes. - My role model is the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), whose biography you will not find expressions of lamentation and sorrow, then sitting and despair...never! Even in the difficult and painful Meccan phase. - Do not stop at lamentation. Say (La hawla wala quwwata illa billah) and seek strength from Allah in your battle against falsehood and its people. - Say (Hassbi Allah wa na'im al-wakil) meaning that Allah is sufficient for you, and rejoice in Him as a guardian and supporter (and a good guardian). - Their greatest criminals are the bridge we hope to cross to Paradise, then they will plunge into Hell! Controlled for us to draw closer to Allah by fighting them, and we are not deprived of the honor of jihad with the Quran (And fight them with it a great jihad)! - These are the messages your Lord, the Most High, conveys to you with His saying: (If your Lord had willed, they would not have done it), and with His saying, the Most High: (That is so, and if Allah willed, He would have made them victorious, but He tests some of you with others). - So seek help from Allah and do not be helpless...(And say to those who do not believe, "Work for your position. We are working" (121) and wait, for we are waiting (122) and to Allah belongs the unseen of the heavens and the earth, and to Him all matters return, so worship Him and rely upon Him. And your Lord is not unaware of what you do (123)) (Surah Hud).
