An-Nasir

The Helper

Exalted and Glorious

Know you not that it is Allah to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth?  And besides Allah you have neither Wali (Protector) nor any helper. (2:107)

And if you were to follow their desires after what you have received of Knowledge, then you would have against Allah neither any Wali nor any helper.  (2:120)

They are those whom Allah has cursed, and he whom Allah curses you will not find for him any helper.  (4:52)

But if they turn away Allah will punish them with a painful torment in this worldly life and in the Hereafter.  And there is none for them on earth as a Wali or a helper. (9:74)

Say: “My Lord! Let my entry be good and likewise my exit be good.  And grant me from You an authority to help me.   (17:80)

This name is an attribute of Allah which means the Helper.  Allah’s help gives satisfaction and contentment to those who believe, as they bear the difficulties of the world with courage.

Anas narrated that when the Messenger of Allah, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, went forth to battle, he would say, “Oh Allah! You are my Arm and my Helper.  With Your help, do I move, with Your Help do I assail, and with Your help do I battle.”

Allah Allah Allah
