Allah has forsaken 'Muslims'

In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful

An extract from Chapter 3 of QUR’AANIC STUDIES – A Modern Tafsir:

160. In yansurkumu Allahu fala ghaliba lakum wa-in yakhthulkum faman tha allathee yansurukum min baAAdihi waAAala Allahi falyatawakkali almu/minoona

---

160. If Allah helps you, none can get the better of you. And if He forsakes you, who is there to help you thereafter? In Allah, then, believers should put their trust.

---

Does that superb divine statement need any human explanatory note? None, at all! It tells us, in no uncertain terms, that Allah has forsaken the so-called believers, the Muslims, as a community in today’s world. The community has become the favourite whipping boy for every Tom, Dick and Harry. The divine Verse, therefore, conclusively tells us that the Muslims have generally failed to put their trust in Allah.
