In Allah’s protection..
Allah Almighty is Near His pious servants. He encompasses them with His care and protection. He sends His mercy down to them and does not leave them to their own devices even for the blink of an eye. Also, He does not make their enemies dominant over them, nor does He give the devil a way against them.
They paid the price of special nearness and in return they got nearness, support, help, and protection.
{...Allah said: “Iam with you. If you establish prayer, give Zakah, believe in My messengers and support them, and give Allah a goodly loan...}
[Surat al-Mā’idah: 12]
They felt secure with their Lord and trusted Him, and so He was with them at all times.
Consider Nūh (Noah) (peace be upon him), after 950 years of calling people to Allah, facing adversities, and suffering, he supplicated his Lord, Who responded and saved him and destroyed his foes.
Another example is Abraham (peace be upon him), he sought refuge in his Lord and so He saved him from the fire.
And He saved Yūnus (Jonah) (peace be upon him) from severe distress, brought Yūsuf (Joseph) (peace be upon him) back to his father Ya‘qūb (Jacob) (peace be upon him) and reunited them and amended the relation between him and his siblings. Moreover, he restored to Jacob his sight.
And our Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be up on him)! He has gone through tough situations that would make people gray-
haired due to great horrors and cause their hearts to jump into their mouths, to the extent that some of his Companions began to have doubts regarding Allah Almighty. At that point, the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated his Lord, Exalted be He, Who fulfilled the promise, achieved the objective, and elevated the word of the truth.
Allah Almighty is Near all His believing servants. He sees and protects them.
A woman came to the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) arguing about her husband. ‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), who was in another area of the house, said that she could hear some words but not others. After this argument, Gabriel (peace be upon him) descended to Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) with this verse:
{Indeed, Allah has heard the words of the woman who was arguing with you [O Prophet] concerning her husband, and was complaining to Allah. Allah has heard the discussion between the two of you, for Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.}
[Surat al-Mujādilah: 1]
Glory be to Allah Whose hearing encompasses all voices and sounds!
