The Secret Behind the Enemies of Allah Being Stronger

Question :

We know very well that all things, including us were created by Allah. "But while we have submitted to Allâh and have believed in Him, the keys to our livelihood are in the hands of our enemies the disbelievers." How can we explain this?

Answer:

Muslims believe that Allah Almighty has created every- A thing and that everything occurs according to His Will - what He wills, happens; what He doesn't will, doesn't happen. Furthermore, He is the One Who gives life and brings death; He alone gives and takes away; He alone causes both sickness and the cure. No one can prevent what He gives, and no one can give what He prevents. Everything that happens to man, including all harms and sufferings, was decreed Allâh fully knew those matters, and He has written them in the Al-Lawh Al-Mahfuz. Then Allah Almighty protected His servants, the believers, those who do good, the people of truth and sincerity. He protects them and makes them victorious. Allâh Almighty says:
"If you help (in the cause of) Allah, He will help you."

He aids them with strength, and the angels descend to fight with them and to defend them against the plots of the disbelievers:
"Truly, Allah defends those who believe."

He breaches the disbelievers' machinations to destroy the Muslims, even if it be atomic bombs or chemical weapons or other than that. They are all under Allâh's will and control.

They are only given supremacy over a people when that people has disobeyed, opposed the truth, or associated partners with Allâh in what He has revealed no authority for. They spread wickedness, abandon acts of worship, shun the Masjids, abandon the society and congregations, they legitimize fornica- tion and other than that, drinking wine, consuming drugs, abandoning the prayer, following desires. So then Allâh gave their enemies authority over them, just as Allâh gave Fir'awn authority over the Children of Israel, punishing them with an evil punishment. In a Hadith Qudsi, Allah Almighty says:
"If one who knows Me disobeys Me, I will give a free hand over him to one that doesn't know Me."

In these times, only those who have abandoned the rulings of the Shari'ah have been subjugated, exchanging it for man-made laws, legitimizing many unlawful things and leaving most of the obligations.

When these evils become prevalent among the Muslims, the disbelievers subjugate them, kill them, and plunder them. But when the people of Islam return to their true religion, Allâh Almighty gives them their turn and helps them to victory:
"So do not become weak (against your enemy), nor be sad, and you will be superior (in victory) if you are indeed (true) believers."
