If the people had followed what Allah revealed to His Messenger, Allah would have made them manifest and helped them against those stronger than them. What is your opinion?

The questioner : If the people had followed the interests of this world and the Hereafter... what Allah placed in the hands of Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him) and Ibn Saud, who made them manifest against those stronger than them... and may Allah bless Ibn Saud today for the sake of his call. I mean, if the people had followed what Allah revealed to His Messenger and followed it in truth and reality, He would have placed them in... what one can imagine.

The Shaykh : Yes, this is the truth. Did you see, Salim? There is no power under the power of Allah but it is weaker, and no might under the might of Allah but it is more humble. Then it may occur to a person's mind: how can one be helped by the power and might of Allah when there are nations before us that are stronger and more numerous than us? So He said: The outcome is in the hand of Allah. Do not look at the present time; look at the outcome. For whom is it? For the righteous. And it is in the hand of Allah. This is in the category of removing despair from the soul when it says, "How can we win when we have an enemy more numerous than us and stronger in equipment?" We say, "Praise be to Allah, the outcome is with Allah, Mighty and Majestic." But Salim, where is the one who takes a lesson?
