Taqwá: The Cornerstone of a Blessed Marriage - Ḥasan al-Ṣumālī

By Shaykh 'Abdulilah Lahmami حفظه الله
وَلَا تَهِنُوا۟ وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا۟ وَأَنتُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَوْنَ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ١٣٩
So do not become weak (against your enemy), nor be sad, and you will be superior (in victory) if you are indeed (true) believers.

Abu Abdur-Rahman Hilal - The Importance of Truthfulness

The sheikh discussed the importance of living in challenging times, which can cause a person to be weak in their Deen.

However as Muslims we do not despair as the believer is strong by using the Qur'an and Sunnah.

Sometimes we cannot deal with a situation and have to turn back to Allah as Dua (supplication) is the weapon of the believer.
