Enhance Faith & Understanding.

i) Alhumdulillah for the countless 'naimah' from Allah SWT! Even when faced with hardship and challenges from Firon, they did not yield to his demands. Instead, exhibited Taqwa in the Almighty and resistance to his threats!
ii) Similarly, Faith keeps us together, in spite of the hardship and challenges the Muslim Ummah faces. This in line with the story and example of Ibrahim a.s. who carried his unwavering faith in Allah (SWT) continues to inspire Muslims of each generation.
iii) AbuBakr r.a. helped the Prophet (ﷺ) through thick and thin! Bilal r.a. from saying 'ahad! ahad!.. eventually became the governor of Syria. It's the Faith!
iv) Now the oppressor have the audacity to claim on live TV they are the oppressor! Ultimately, the Muslims conquered Makkah. And folks came to the fold of Islam ten-folds.
v) Enhance our Faith! Allocate dedicated & quality time to our children and being forth the Islamic perspective in our lives. Our Faith will not enhance automatically - we have our work cut out for us.
vi) Some Background:
(The Victory) Allah will always help the Believers. Revealed when Prophet (ﷺ) was returning from the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah to Medinah, in the 6th year of the Hijri. Indeed, We have given you, [O Muhammad], a clear conquest
(Al-Fath 48:1). While that happened
-- then the Muslim had upper hand. The Prophet (ﷺ) in the Treaty of Hudaibiyah made short-term sacrifice for long-term benefits.
vii) Read the biographies of the Prophet (ﷺ) and the Sahabahs. Draw lessons from therein! Understand the Deen correctly and apply to our actions and thereby our deeds. Ameen! Ya Rabbal 'Alamin!
