Ahlul Bayt A.S. News Agency - ABNA: Today, all falsehood has come to war with Iran, the flag bearer of the Islamic government. Is the outcome of this war predictable? What should be done? Is there any hope for the victory of the right front? Despite the complicity of enemies, hypocrites, and mercenaries, will divine victory be ours?
In the battle between the right front and falsehood, the battle between Islam and disbelief, divine victory will always be the victory of God’s sincere servants, those who at all times consider God as a witness and overseer of their actions. Furthermore, according to the word and promise of God, the Blessed and Exalted, the earth is the inheritance of the oppressed of the world, and this is the promise of God, the Almighty.
There is no doubt that whenever God's will is to bring about a matter, that matter will definitely be fulfilled and no obstacle can stand in its way. The Quran says:
«إِنَّما أَمْرُهُ إِذا أَرادَ شَیْئاً أَنْ یَقُولَ لَهُ کُنْ فَیَکُونُ»
When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, 'Be,' and it is.
Although all blessings are from God and servants are indebted to His grace in every blessing, He has used the term “favor” in reference to a few blessings, which naturally indicates their high importance, including:
1. The blessing of Islam:
«کَذلِکَ کُنْتُمْ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَمَنَّ اَللّهُ عَلَیْکُمْ»
You were like that before; then Allah conferred His favor upon you,
2. The blessing of prophethood:
«لَقَدْ مَنَّ اَللّهُ عَلَی اَلْمُؤْمِنِینَ إِذْ بَعَثَ فِیهِمْ رَسُولاً»
Indeed, Allah has done the believers a ˹great˺ favour by raising a messenger from among them
3. The blessing of guidance: «بَلِ اَللّهُ یَمُنُّ عَلَیْکُمْ أَنْ هَداکُمْ»
It is Allah Who has done you a favor by guiding you to the faith
4. The Blessing of the Rulers of the Believers:
«و نُرِیدُ أَنْ نَمُنَّ عَلَی اَلَّذِینَ اُسْتُضْعِفُوا فِی اَلْأَرْضِ...»
But it was Our Will to favor those who were oppressed in the land
Indeed, Imam Mahdi (ajf) and the reign of his greatness in the end of time have been introduced as the eighth example of this verse. The issue of the sovereignty of the oppressed over the earth has been mentioned in the Qur'an with different expressions and statements:
A: «وَعَدَ اَللّهُ اَلَّذِینَ آمَنُوا مِنْکُمْ وَ عَمِلُوا اَلصّالِحاتِ لَیَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ فِی اَلْأَرْضِ»
Allah has promised those of you who believe and do good that He will certainly make them successors in the land
B: وَ لَقَدْ أَهْلَکْنَا اَلْقُرُونَ مِنْ قَبْلِکُمْ لَمّا ظَلَمُوا ... ثُمَّ جَعَلْناکُمْ خَلائِفَ فِی اَلْأَرْضِ
We surely destroyed ˹other˺ peoples before you when they did wrong..... Now We have appointed you as their successors in the earth
C: «أَنَّ اَلْأَرْضَ یَرِثُها عِبادِیَ اَلصّالِحُونَ»
My righteous servants shall inherit the land.
D: «وَ أَوْرَثْنَا اَلْقَوْمَ اَلَّذِینَ کانُوا یُسْتَضْعَفُونَ مَشارِقَ اَلْأَرْضِ وَ مَغارِبَهَا»
And ˹so˺ We made the oppressed people successors of the eastern and western lands.
E: «لَنُهْلِکَنَّ اَلظّالِمِینَ. وَ لَنُسْکِنَنَّکُمُ اَلْأَرْضَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ»
We will most certainly destroy these wrong-doers, and will then cause you to settle in the land as their successors. The oppressed in this verse are those who have not played a role in this matter and whose arrogance has led them to weakness.
Messages:
1. The global rule of the oppressed and support for the oppressed is the will and desire of God. «نُرِیدُ»
2. In the tyrannical rule of the tyrant, the effective forces are weakened. «اُسْتُضْعِفُوا»
3. The future belongs to the oppressed. «نَجْعَلَهُمْ أَئِمَّةً»
4. Imamate, like the Ba'ath (Commencement of prophethood), is a special favor that God bestows on people. Regarding the sending of the Prophet, He says: «لَقَدْ مَنَّ اَللّهُ عَلَی اَلْمُؤْمِنِینَ إِذْ بَعَثَ فِیهِمْ رَسُولاً»
Indeed, Allah has done the believers a ˹great˺ favor by raising a messenger from among them. And regarding the Ba'ath, He says: نَمُنَّ ... نَجْعَلَهُمْ أَئِمَّةً (1)
In an authentic narration, it is narrated from Imam Ali (a.s.) that: By God who split the seed and brought the creatures into existence, the world, after being stubborn and rebellious towards us, will turn towards us and become submissive to us, like a bad-natured camel loving its young. Then he recited this verse:
«ونُرِیدُ أَن نَّمُنَّ عَلَی ٱلَّذِینَ ٱستُضعِفُواْ فِی ٱلأَرضِ وَنَجعَلَهُم أَئِمَّةً وَنَجعَلَهُمُ ٱلوَرِثِینَ؛
It was Our Will to favor those who were oppressed in the land, making them models ˹of faith˺ as well as successors. (2)
The earth will go to its true heirs, who are the oppressed, and its true heirs are those who have been oppressed for years by oppressors. There should not be a shred of doubt in our hearts about this divine promise, because God Almighty has repeatedly stated in the Quran: وَ لَنْ یُخْلِفَ اللَّهُ وَعْدَهُ؛
Allah will never fail in His promise. (3)
If Muslims believe that the intention of all their actions is for God and that every word, deed, and action is for the sake of helping God’s religion and gaining His pleasure, they will definitely receive divine help and support, because God Almighty says:«یَـأَیُّهَا ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُواْ إِن تَنصُرُواْ ٱللَّهَ یَنصُرکُم وَیُثَبِّت أَقدَامَکُم؛ O you who have believed, if you support Allah, He will support you and plant firmly your feet. (4)
Regarding this verse, the Supreme Leader says: “Sometimes we understand the method to help ourselves, we recognize it, sometimes we don’t, we see that we have been helped, we see that the matter has been resolved, the matter has progressed; this is divine help. Let us make our intentions divine. "God's intention does not mean that whenever we want to make a move, for example, let's say right there that I am doing this for the sake of God; no, the fact that you have mercy on the people, this is God's intention; the fact that you want to serve the country, this is God's intention; the fact that you want to create a work of art that will guide four people, this is God's intention. If we enter with God's intention, God Almighty will also help." (5)
Today, the great Satan has directly entered the conflict with us. Without a mask, without its proxy forces, and this, apart from the fact that all his evil proxy hands and arms in the region are grounded for Operation True Promise, is dragging the game to the last part. Our job is "defense" and this is "the only possible honorable and right thing to do." Defense is sacred and rational. And this is defense that is always successful with divine help. Now our defense has gained more depth and meaning; we fight in the name of humanity, Iran, and Islam, and in war we do not trust our missiles and drones more than God. Fearing the B2 and the F35 is, in fact, worshipping Satan and accepting the dominion of Iblis: “Indeed, Satan only makes you fear his friends, so do not fear them, and fear only if you are believers.” So in the name of God, who is greater than the B2 and the F35. We live and die in His name and for Him. This is where we join the help of God Almighty, according to the divine promise: “If Allah helps you, then none can overcome you; If God helps you, no one will overcome you.” (6)
Imam Sajjad (a.s.) said: By God, who chose Muhammad (pbuh) as a bearer of glad tidings and a warner, the righteous of our family and their Shias will be like Moses and his followers, and our enemies and their supporters will be like Pharaoh and his followers. Just as God saved Moses (pbuh) and his followers from Pharaoh’s armies, He will also save the Muslims of the world from the evil of the devils of Zionists.
Today, the banner of anti-arrogance is in the powerful hands of the great leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, a banner that, God willing, will be presented to the luminous hands of the Supreme Leader of our souls.
