CAUSE:
47:7 - O ye who believe! if ye will aid (the cause of) Allah He will aid you and plant your feet firmly.
74:7 - But for thy Lord's (Cause) be patient and constant! 5782
5782 Our zeal for Allah's Cause itself requires that we should not be impatient, and that we should show constancy in our
efforts for His Cause. For we have faith, and we know that He is All-Good, All-Wise, and All-Powerful, and everything
will ultimately be right. (74.7)
4:74 - Let those fight in the cause of Allah who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter. To him
who fighteth in the cause of Allah whether he is slain or gets victory soon shall We give him a
reward of great (value). 591
591 It is not every one,-least of all, poltroons and faint-hearted persons-who is fit to fight in thecause of Allah. To do so
is a privilege, and those who understand the privilege are prepared to sacrifice all their interests in this life, and this life
itself; for they know that it is the sacrifice of something fleeting and of little value, for the sake of something
everlasting, and of immense value. Whether (in appearance) they win or lose, in reality they win the prize for which
they are fighting,-viz., honour and glory in the sight of Allah. Note that the only alternatives here are Death or Victory!
The true fighter knows no defeat. (4.74)
4:75 - And why should ye not fight in the cause of Allah and of those who being weak are illtreated
(and oppressed)?
593 Even from the human point of view the cause of Allah is the cause of justice, the cause of the oppressed. In the great
persecution, before Makkah was won again, what sorrows, threats, tortures, and oppressions, were suffered by those
whose faith was unshaken? Muhammad's life and that of his adherents was threatened: they were mocked,
assaulted, insulted and beaten; those within the power of the enemy were put into chains and cast into prison; others
were boycotted, and shut out of trade, business, and social intercourse; they could not even buy the food they wanted,
or perform their religious duties. The persecution was redoubled for the believing slaves, women, and children after
the Hijrat. Their cry for a protector, and helper from Allah was answered when Muhammad the Chosen One brought
freedom and peace to Makkah again. (4.75)
4:76 - Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah and those who reject faith fight in the cause of
evil: so fight ye against the friends of Satan: feeble indeed is the cunning of Satan. 594
594 Auliyaa plural of wali, friend, supporter, protector, patron; from the same root as maula, for which see iv. 33, n. 543.

Sadaqah for the Cause of Allah
Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 4.46
Narrated by Abu Huraira
heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The example of a mujahid in Allah's cause--and Allah knows better who really strives in His
cause--is like a person who fasts and prays continuously. Allah guarantees that He will admit the mujahid in His cause into
Paradise if he is killed, otherwise He will return him to his home safely with rewards and war booty."

CAVE:
9:40 - If ye help not (your Leader) (it is no matter): for Allah did indeed help him: when the
unbelievers drove him out: he had no more than one companion: they two were in the cave
and he said to his companion "have no fear for Allah is with us": then Allah sent down his
peace upon him and strengthened him with forces which ye saw not and humbled to the
depths the word of the unbelievers. But the word of Allah is exalted to the heights: for Allah is
Exalted in might Wise. 1302130313041305
1302 The Tabuk expedition was not a failure. Though some hesitated, many more joined in. But a more striking example
was when the Prophet was hunted out of Makkah and performed his famous Hijrat. His enemies plotted for his life. He
had already sent his followers on to Madinah. Ali had volunteered to face his enemies in his house. His single
companion was Abu Bakr. They two concealed themselves in the cave of Thaur, three miles from Makkah, for three
nights, with the enemy prowling around in great numbers in fruitless search of them. "We are but two," said Abu Bakr.
