Today, the Muslims are undergoing great oppression throughout the world. This can easily lead to loss of hope in the mercy of Allaah Ta’ala. Therefore, this booklet has been prepared to grant some encouragement to distressed hearts, to remove doubts from diseased hearts and to explain to us what should our reaction be to such conditions. Even more difficult conditions passed the Muslim ummah before, but they arose and became even stronger.

If we study Islamic history, we will find that Muslims suffered greatly on many occasions, but this was soon replaced by Allaah’s help and divine assistance. We should remember that many a times, these conditions are actually the beginning of a bright future.  

It is easy to get discouraged when things are going bad, but we shouldn’t lose heart, because Allaah Ta’ala is at work in our lives, even in the midst of our pain and suffering.

In this book, we will discuss three incidents wherein the Muslims underwent great difficulty, but eventually Allaah Ta’ala changes conditions for the better.
