Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding His saying, Glorified and Exalted is He:
seek help through patience and prayerاسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَاةِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:153]


Answer:
One seeks help through prayer in times of hardship. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
When a matter befalls him, or a matter distresses him, he turns to prayerإذا حزبه أمر أو أمه أمر فزع إلى الصلاة
because it helps him; it helps him face problems, and Allah provides him with solutions to those problems because of the prayer. Prayer is a support for the servant in his tasks in this life. Yes.
