A Quote from the Quran
Allah Almighty has stated these words in the Holy Quran:
“Fear those to whom the hypocrites say, ‘The people have gathered against you.’”
But this increased their faith even more, and they said:
“Sufficient is Allah and the Best Disposer of affairs.”
(Surah Al-Imran: 173)
This verse was revealed on the occasion of the Battle of Uhud.
When the people were terrified by the strength of the enemy, the believers, instead of being afraid, increased their faith in Allah and said these words
“Sufficient is Allah for us.”
This phrase is a sign of the strength and certainty of faith.
