Allah will surely support those who support Him

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم 

Al-Hajj 22:40

ٱلَّذِينَ أُخْرِجُوا۟ مِن دِيَٰرِهِم بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ إِلَّآ أَن يَقُولُوا۟ رَبُّنَا ٱللَّهُۗ وَلَوْلَا دَفْعُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلنَّاسَ بَعْضَهُم بِبَعْضٍ لَّهُدِّمَتْ صَوَٰمِعُ وَبِيَعٌ وَصَلَوَٰتٌ وَمَسَٰجِدُ يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا ٱسْمُ ٱللَّهِ كَثِيرًاۗ وَلَيَنصُرَنَّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَنصُرُهُۥٓۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَقَوِىٌّ عَزِيزٌ 

[They are] those who have been evicted from their homes without right -  only because they say, "Our Lord is Allah ." And were it not that Allah checks the people, some by means of others, there would have been demolished monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which the name of Allah is much mentioned. And Allah will surely support those who support Him. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might.

Al-Hajj 22:41

ٱلَّذِينَ إِن مَّكَّنَّٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَقَامُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتَوُا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَأَمَرُوا۟ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَنَهَوْا۟ عَنِ ٱلْمُنكَرِۗ وَلِلَّهِ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْأُمُورِ 


[And they are] those who, if We give them authority in the land, establish prayer and give zakah and enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong. And to Allah belongs the outcome of [all] matters.

One who is devoutly obedient during periods of the night, prostrating and standing [in prayer], fearing the Hereafter and hoping Allah's mercy


أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم 

Az-Zumar 39:8

وَإِذَا مَسَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ ضُرٌّ دَعَا رَبَّهُۥ مُنِيبًا إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ إِذَا خَوَّلَهُۥ نِعْمَةً مِّنْهُ نَسِىَ مَا كَانَ يَدْعُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ مِن قَبْلُ وَجَعَلَ لِلَّهِ أَندَادًا لِّيُضِلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦۚ قُلْ تَمَتَّعْ بِكُفْرِكَ قَلِيلًاۖ إِنَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلنَّارِ 

And when adversity touches man, he calls upon his Lord, turning to Him [alone]; then when He bestows on him a favor from Himself, he forgets Him whom he called upon before, and he attributes to Allah equals to mislead [people] from His way. Say, "Enjoy your disbelief for a little; indeed, you are of the companions of the Fire."


Az-Zumar 39:9

أَمَّنْ هُوَ قَٰنِتٌ ءَانَآءَ ٱلَّيْلِ سَاجِدًا وَقَآئِمًا يَحْذَرُ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ وَيَرْجُوا۟ رَحْمَةَ رَبِّهِۦۗ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِى ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَۗ إِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْأَلْبَٰبِ 

Is one who is devoutly obedient during periods of the night, prostrating and standing [in prayer], fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of his Lord, [like one who does not]? Say, "Are those who know equal to those who do not know?" Only they will remember [who are] people of understanding.

Man`s supplication, then hopelessness and despairing when evil touches, and then mercy touches, he turns away and when evil touches, he engages in long supplications


أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم 

Fussilat 41:49

لَّا يَسْـَٔمُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِن دُعَآءِ ٱلْخَيْرِ وَإِن مَّسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ فَيَـُٔوسٌ قَنُوطٌ 

Man is not weary of supplication for good [things], but if evil touches him, he is hopeless and despairing.

Fussilat 41:50

وَلَئِنْ أَذَقْنَٰهُ رَحْمَةً مِّنَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتْهُ لَيَقُولَنَّ هَٰذَا لِى وَمَآ أَظُنُّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ قَآئِمَةً وَلَئِن رُّجِعْتُ إِلَىٰ رَبِّىٓ إِنَّ لِى عِندَهُۥ لَلْحُسْنَىٰۚ فَلَنُنَبِّئَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِمَا عَمِلُوا۟ وَلَنُذِيقَنَّهُم مِّنْ عَذَابٍ غَلِيظٍ 

And if We let him taste mercy from Us after an adversity which has touched him, he will surely say, "This is [due] to me, and I do not think the Hour will occur; and [even] if I should be returned to my Lord, indeed, for me there will be with Him the best." But We will surely inform those who disbelieved about what they did, and We will surely make them taste a massive punishment.

Fussilat 41:51

وَإِذَآ أَنْعَمْنَا عَلَى ٱلْإِنسَٰنِ أَعْرَضَ وَنَـَٔا بِجَانِبِهِۦ وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ فَذُو دُعَآءٍ عَرِيضٍ 

And when We bestow favor upon man, he turns away and distances himself; but when evil touches him, then he is full of extensive supplication.


Those Near Him

Aaoodhoo billahe minashaitan rajeem 

 Al-Anbiya 21:19

وَلَهُ‌و مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِۚ وَمَنْ عِندَهُ‌و لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهِۧ وَلَا يَسْتَحْسِرُونَ 

To Him belongs whoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those near Him are not prevented by arrogance from His worship, nor do they tire.

 Al-Anbiya 21:20

يُسَبِّحُونَ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ لَا يَفْتُرُونَ 

They exalt [Him] night and day [and] do not slacken.

Subhan Allah. I want to be near my Lord insha Allah.  And when i read about those who are near Him, i find out they are not arrogant, neither they get tired. And yet I find myself arrogant on His worship and I get tired in His worship. I don't get tired reading Quran and pondering on it. Alhamdolillah. I don't get tired or arrogant standing on prayer alhamdolillah. I don't get tired talking about ayahs from Quran alhamdolillah. But I do get arrogant when His creation starts to bother me. I do get tired when His creation keeps bothering me. Then what kind of worship am I doing to my Lord? If I really worship Him then I should consider loving all of His creation an act of worship to Him. If I really worship Him then tolerating the acts of His creation shouldn't make me tired. Oh Allah make me true worshipper of Yours. Ameen. 

I also notice that those near Him exalt Him day and night and do not slacken. Oh Allah make me like those near You. Ameen.

Prayer during war

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم

وَإِذَا كُنْتَ فِيهِمْ فَأَقَمْتَ لَهُمُ الصَّلَاةَ فَلْتَقُمْ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ مَعَكَ وَلْيَأْخُذُوا أَسْلِحَتَهُمْ فَإِذَا سَجَدُوا فَلْيَكُونُوا مِنْ وَرَائِكُمْ وَلْتَأْتِ طَائِفَةٌ أُخْرَىٰ لَمْ يُصَلُّوا فَلْيُصَلُّوا مَعَكَ وَلْيَأْخُذُوا حِذْرَهُمْ وَأَسْلِحَتَهُمْ ۗ وَدَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْ تَغْفُلُونَ عَنْ أَسْلِحَتِكُمْ وَأَمْتِعَتِكُمْ فَيَمِيلُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ مَيْلَةً وَاحِدَةً ۚ وَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِنْ كَانَ بِكُمْ أَذًى مِنْ مَطَرٍ أَوْ كُنْتُمْ مَرْضَىٰ أَنْ تَضَعُوا أَسْلِحَتَكُمْ ۖ وَخُذُوا حِذْرَكُمْ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَعَدَّ لِلْكَافِرِينَ عَذَابًا مُهِينًا

And when you are among them and keep up the prayer for them, let
a party of them stand up with you, and let them take their arms; then when they have prostrated themselves let them go to your rear, and let another party who have not prayed come forward and pray with you, and let them take their precautions and their arms; (for) those who disbelieve desire that you may be careless of your arms and your luggage, so that they may then turn upon you with a sudden united attack, and there is no blame on you, if you are annoyed with rain or if you are sick, that you lay down your arms, and take your precautions; surely Allah has prepared a disgraceful chastisement for the unbelievers. (Surah An-Nisa',4:102)

وَإِذَا And when - كُنتَ you are - فِيهِمْ among them - فَأَقَمْتَ and you lead - لَهُمُ for them - ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ the prayer, - فَلْتَقُمْ then let stand - طَآئِفَةٌ a group - مِّنْهُم of them - مَّعَكَ with you - وَلْيَأْخُذُوٓا۟ and let them - أَسْلِحَتَهُمْ their arms. - فَإِذَا Then when - سَجَدُوا۟ they have prostrated, - فَلْيَكُونُوا۟ then let them be - مِن behind you - وَرَآئِكُمْ behind you - وَلْتَأْتِ and let come (forward) - طَآئِفَةٌ a group - - أُخْرَىٰ other, - لَمْ (which has) not - يُصَلُّوا۟ prayed, - فَلْيُصَلُّوا۟ and let them - مَعَكَ with you - وَلْيَأْخُذُوا۟ and let them - حِذْرَهُمْ their precautions - وَأَسْلِحَتَهُمْ and their arms. - وَدَّ Wished - ٱلَّذِينَ those who - كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieved - لَوْ if - تَغْفُلُونَ you neglect - عَنْ [about] - أَسْلِحَتِكُمْ your arms - وَأَمْتِعَتِكُمْ and your baggage - فَيَمِيلُونَ so (that) they (can) assault - عَلَيْكُم [upon] you - مَّيْلَةً (in) a single attack. - وَٰحِدَةً (in) a single attack. - وَلَا But (there is) no - جُنَاحَ blame - عَلَيْكُمْ upon you - إِن if - كَانَ was - بِكُمْ with you - أَذًى any trouble - مِّن (because) of - مَّطَرٍ rain - أَوْ or - كُنتُم you are - مَّرْضَىٰٓ sick - أَن that - تَضَعُوٓا۟ you lay down - أَسْلِحَتَكُمْ your arms, - وَخُذُوا۟ but take - حِذْرَكُمْ your precautions. - إِنَّ Indeed, - ٱللَّهَ Allah - أَعَدَّ has prepared - لِلْكَٰفِرِينَ for the disbelievers - عَذَابًا a punishment - مُّهِينًا humiliating. -

يَرِثُنِي وَيَرِثُ مِنْ آلِ يَعْقُوبَ وَاجْعَلْهُ رَبِّ رَضِيًّا


Translation:
"Who shall inherit me, and inherit (also) the posterity of Ya'qub (Jacob) (inheritance of the religious knowledge and Prophethood, not the wealth, etc.). And make him, my Lord, one with whom You are Well-pleased!".
