U H A
These are two adversaries who have disputed over their Lord. But those who disbelieved will have cut out for them garments of fire. Poured upon their heads will
be scalding water; By which is melted that within their bellies and [their] skins. And for [striking] them are maces of iron. Every time they want to get out of
Hellfire from anguish, they will be returned to it, and [it will be said], "Taste the punishment of the Burning Fire!“ Indeed, Allah will admit those who believe and
do righteous deeds to gardens beneath which rivers flow. They will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and pearl, and their garments therein will be silk. And
they had been guided [in worldly life] to good speech, and they were guided to the path of the Praiseworthy. [Al-Haj 22:19-24]

12. • “O Abu Bakr, glad tidings are there for you: Allâh’s
victory has approached, by Allâh, I can see Gabriel on his
mare in the thick of a sandstorm.”
• Prophet (Peace be upon him) took a handful of gravel,
cast it at the enemy and said: “Confusion seize their
faces!” As he flung the dust, a violent sandstorm blew
like furnace blast into the eyes of the enemies.
“Verily, I am with you, so keep firm those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have
disbelieved.” [8:12]
“I will help you with a thousand of the angels each behind the other (following one another) in succession.” [8:9]
And you did not kill them, but it was Allah who killed
them. And you threw not, [O Muhammad], when you
threw, but it was Allah who threw that He might test
the believers with a good test. Indeed, Allah is
Hearing and Knowing. [8:17]
