Musta'an(He whose help is sought)

It is said in verse (12:18): "And Allah is He Whose help is to be sought against what you describe." There are two necessary conditions of seeking help from God: sabr (patience) and salah (prayer) (2:45, 153). Sabr in ta'wil is the Messenger and salah is the Imam. It is only through them that the help of God can be sought. If it were possible to attain God’s help by fulfilling external conditions only, then even the people of the Book would have done so.
