Verse on the Forehead of the Revolution
With Dr. Zaher Baadarani, Head of the Syrian Future Movement
Episode Title: “Seek Help through Patience and Prayer”
God says: “And seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, it is difficult except for the humbly submissive, who are certain that they will meet their Lord and that they will return to Him.” (Al-Baqarah 2:45-46)
God commands His servants to be patient and assures them that it is best for them. Many verses emphasize this, such as: “And if you are patient, it is better for those who are patient” and “Indeed, Allah is with the patient.”
Patience is praised in times of hardship, sickness, and battle. True patience during conflict brings divine support and inevitable victory, even if the believers are fewer in number.
Talut’s story affirms this: “How many a small group overcame a large group by the will of Allah, and Allah is with the patient.”
Their prayer: “Our Lord, pour upon us patience, make firm our steps, and grant us victory over the disbelieving people” teaches the correct order—patience first, then firmness, then victory.
Victory is tied to patience: *“If there are among you a hundred who are patient, they will overcome two hundred…”* thus confirming that divine help follows steadfastness.
