Hamas tweets Quranic verse rallying faithful

As Israeli ground troops get underway with the second phase of Operation Protective Edge, Hamas’s Al-Qassam Brigades tweets a verse of the Quran rallying the support of the faithful in the face of the enemy, enjoining them to place their faith in Allah.

“Those to whom hypocrites said, ‘Indeed, the people have gathered against you, so fear them.’ But it [merely] increased them in faith, and they said, ‘Sufficient for us is Allah , and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs,'” reads the Sahih International translation of the passage Hamas tweeted.

The verse is interpreted to mean that “the strongest barrier against all the threats of the enemy is faith and trusting in Allah” and that Muslims ought not be “frightened by the hollow propagations of the enemy,” according to al-Islam.org’s online exegesis.
