“Recite unto them the story of Noah, when he told his people: O my people! If my sojourn (here) and my reminding you by Allah's revelations are an offence unto you, in Allah have I put my trust, so decide upon your course of action you and your partners.

Just as Allah the Almighty said regarding the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and his Companions:
1:45
“Those unto whom men said: Lo! the people have gathered against you, therefor fear them. (The threat of danger) but increased the faith of them and they cried: Allah is Sufficient for us! Most Excellent is He in Whom we trust!” (3:173)

2:02
For the Messenger, peace be upon him, through his trust in Allah the Glorified,
2:07
Said to his companion, Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him:
2:12
“If ye help him not, still Allah helped him when those who disbelieve drove him forth, the second of two; when they two were in the cave, when he said unto his comrade: Grieve not. Lo! Allah is with us. Then Allah caused His peace of reassurance to descend upon him and supported him with hosts ye cannot see, and made the word of those who disbelieved the nethermost, while Allah's Word it was that became the uppermost. Allah is Mighty, Wise.” (9:40)
2:15
A person does not need to force away their sorrows.
2:20
Simply perceive that Allah is with you through His knowledge, encompassing presence, and power.
2:28
And through His gentleness and benevolence, then place your trust in Him.
2:32
Upon doing so, your sorrows will be dispelled.
2:36
Say with your heart: "Allah is with me."

You will find that Allah is truly with you.

And you will find comfort in His nearness to you.

And certainty in His support, victory, and guidance.
