Fear only Allah, and derive your strength from Him

Allah cannot be overpowered. We sometimes fear people because of what we perceive to be their strength over us. But Allah is al-‘Azeez, and we should always remember this when we are faced with tyrants. When the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr were hiding in the cave of Thawr, and all that the disbelievers had to do was look down and they would see them, Allah sent down His tranquility upon them:

“If you do not aid the Prophet – Allah has already aided him when those who disbelieved had driven him out [of Makkah] as one of two, when they were in the cave and he said to his companion, “Do not grieve; indeed Allah is with us.” And Allah sent down his tranquility upon him and supported him with angels you did not see and made the word of those who disbelieved the lowest, while the word of Allah – that is the highest. And Allah is Exalted in Might (al-‘Azeez) and Wise (al-Hakeem).” (Qur’an, 9:40)
