Quran 3:160 — Aal-i-Imraan, verse 160
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
If God helps you [believers], no one can overcome you; if He forsakes you, who else can help you? Believers should put their trust in God.
إِنْ يَنْصُرْكُمُ اللَّهُ فَلَا غَالِبَ لَكُمْ ۖ وَإِنْ يَخْذُلْكُمْ فَمَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَنْصُرُكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ ۗ وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ
in yanṣur'kumu l-lahu falā ghāliba lakum wa-in yakhdhul'kum faman dhā alladhī yanṣurukum min baʿdihi waʿalā l-lahi falyatawakkali l-mu'minūna
