Dear reader, perhaps sometimes in the heavy storm of news, when we see images of bombings and the dark shadow of threats, a question forms in our hearts: “Does this path lead anywhere?” To tell you the truth, deep in history and in the depths of the Quran, there is a promise that is never forgotten: **divine victory**. A promise documented in Surah Muhammad, verse 7: *”O you who have believed, if you support Allah, He will support you and plant firmly your feet.”* 【10†L4-L6】【16†L6-L8】
Now the question arises: why should we believe this verse? Are there similar promises elsewhere in the Quran? What is the connection between these promises and today’s Resistance front?
🎯 1. The Tradition of Victory: A Definite and Unchanging Law
Divine victory is among the “divine laws” (sunan) – meaning it is not an exception or an accident, but a **definite law** that God has established in the system of creation.【5†L29-L30】 This law is tied to “supporting God.” Commentators say that supporting God means striving and struggling in His path and for the elevation of His religion.【16†L13-L15】
In Surah Hajj, verse 40, it is also emphasized: *”And Allah will surely support those who support Him.”*【10†L21-L22】 Meaning, victory is not a free gift; it is the result of a divine equation: you take the step, and God paves the way.
📜 2. The Promise of Succession (Istikhlaf) and Empowerment (Tamkin): From the Rule of the Righteous to the Ultimate Promise
One of the most beautiful divine promises is in Surah Nur, verse 55: *”Allah has promised those who have believed among you and done righteous deeds that He will surely grant them succession [to authority] upon the earth just as He granted it to those before them and will surely establish for them their religion which He has preferred for them and will surely substitute for them, after their fear, security.”*【11†L7-L10】【11†L4-L6】 This promise gives glad tidings of three things: **1. Succession (istikhlaf) on earth, 2. Empowerment (tamkin) of the religion, 3. Security after fear** – but its condition is the two essential pillars: **faith and righteous deeds**.【11†L8-L10】 This verse clearly shows that the ultimate outcome of resistance and struggle is the **foundation of a powerful Islamic civilization**.
🕊 3. The Promise for the Oppressed: The True Inheritors of the Earth
Alongside these promises, verse 5 of Surah Al-Qasas warms the heart of every oppressed and resistant person: *”And We wanted to confer favor upon those who were oppressed in the land and make them leaders and make them the inheritors.”*【2†L8-L11】 Oppression here does not mean inherent weakness, but being rendered weak by the arrogant. The oppressed are those who, despite their capability, have been pushed to the margins by tyrants. This verse is a glad tiding to all resistance fronts in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, and Iran that the promised day is near, and God’s will has decreed that the oppressed shall inherit the earth.【2†L13-L16】
🔥 4. Divine Victory in History: From Badr to the Sacred Defense
Belief in divine victory is not just an emotional slogan; it is a historical conviction. At the Battle of Badr, 313 people with minimal equipment stood against the well-armed Quraysh army and won.【3†L9-L11】 During the eight years of the Sacred Defense (Iran-Iraq war), Iranian fighters witnessed numerous unseen aids: sudden clouds that stabilized shifting sands, lookouts who saw the enemy preparing ambushes in the dead of night.【13†L4-L7】 The Supreme Leader of the Revolution has repeatedly pointed to this divine law: *”Retreat encourages the enemy; steadfastness repels him.”*【1†L12-L14】 He has also emphasized: *”God Almighty has guaranteed victory for the Iranian nation under the Islamic system, and the Iranian nation will certainly be victorious.”*【9†L9-L10】【9†L15-L17】
🌍 5. Today’s Resistance Front: The Concrete Manifestation of the Divine Promise
Today, in this “Ramadan War” that began on February 28, 2026, the enemy thought that assassination and aggression could weaken the will of the Iranian nation.【8†L20-L21】 But as each day passes, it becomes clear that the initial calculations of the war’s planners are far from the field reality. On the Gaza front, despite relentless bombings and a cruel siege, the resilient Palestinian people still stand like a rock, and the Supreme Leader has stated: *”God’s companionship is with the patient; the people of Gaza stand like a mountain.”*【14†L4-L6】
📝 Final Word: A True Promise, Not a Slogan but a Certainty
Dear reader, perhaps Western media daily report the “defeat” or “weakness” of the Resistance front, but the divine law is clear: **victory is definite and certain**. However, this victory is conditional – on faith, on righteous deeds, on supporting God’s religion, and on **steadfastness**. As we read in Surah Fussilat, verse 13: *”If you are patient and God-fearing, their plotting will not harm you at all.”*【10†L28-L30】【3†L33-L34】 In these difficult and turbulent days, hope in God’s promise is the believer’s strongest weapon. The future belongs to the sincere believers and the patient strugglers, for the promise of the Truth is unbreakable.
