. Due to the exigency of putting man
to the test, God wants this work to be given
special priority. This is a divine mission
which is carried out by men, on behalf of
God, and they are, therefore, rewarded for
it by God in the hereafter. Here are some
verses from the Quran to underline this
point:
Believers, be God’s helpers. When Jesus,
son of Mary, said to the disciples: ‘Who
will come with me to the help of God?’
The disciples replied: ‘We shall be God’s
helpers.’ Some of the Children of Israel
believed in him while others did not. We
supported the believers against their
enemies and they triumphed over them.
