3:146 And with how many a prophet
have there been a number of devoted
men who fought (beside him). They
quailed not for aught that befell them
in the way of Allah, nor did they
weaken, nor were they brought low.
Allah loveth the steadfast.
3:147 Their cry was only that they
said: Our Lord! forgive us for our
sins and wasted efforts, make our
foothold sure, and give us victory
over the disbelieving folk.
3:148 So Allah gave them the reward of the world and the
good reward of the Hereafter. Allah loveth those whose
deeds are good.
3:149 O ye who BELIEVE! if ye obey those who DISBELIEVE,
they will make you turn back on your heels, and ye turn
back as losers.
3:150 But Allah is your Protector, and He is the Best of
Helpers.
