In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

[Quran 3:159-160] ... and trust in GOD. GOD loves those who trust in Him.*
 If GOD supports you, none can defeat you. And if He abandons you, who else can support you? In GOD the believers shall trust.
*3:159 The currency of the U.S.A. is the only currency that carries the phrase: "In God we trust." It is a fact that the American dollar has been the strongest currency in the world, and the standard by which all other currencies are measured.

[Quran 11:123] To GOD belongs the future of the heavens and the earth, and all matters are controlled by Him. You shall worship Him and trust in Him. Your Lord is never unaware of anything you do.


As a submitter to God, we must worship Him and implore Him alone for help (Quran 1:5). And having done that, we trust in Him knowing that God controls every atom in the universe. As long as we steadfastly persevere in righteousness, He will take care of us (Quran 2:153, 3:125, 3:159-160, 5:12, 10:62-64, 13:11, etc.).

When we hear the news it may seem we're not safe anywhere. But, these are times we must turn to God even more and be appreciative of His blessings upon us, and trust in Him.

May God help us fulfill our part of the covenant (Quran 36:60-61), to devote ourselves completely to Him alone that we may be saved (Quran 2:155-157, 6:155, 11:43, 37:40).
