The answer

All praise is due to Allah. "Honor for believers, victory over enemies, and empowerment on earth can only be achieved through obedience to Allah the Almighty and His Messenger (peace be upon him), and by practicing Islam and faith, outwardly and inwardly."

The Qur'an and , as well as the righteous predecessors, have affirmed that the empowerment and honor of believers are conditioned upon their fulfilling what Allah has obligated upon them: affirming His Oneness and glorifying Him, acting according to His Book, following the Sunnah of His Prophet, establishing prayer, giving , loving His believing allies, hating His enemies among the hypocrites and disbelievers, and striving against them so that the word of Allah may be the highest.

Whoever abandons the jihad that the Prophet (peace be upon him) undertook, despite being able to, and becomes preoccupied with worldly gains, will experience humiliation. Every Muslim has a responsibility to achieve honor for the believers according to their capability, and to uphold the command of Allah the Almighty, practicing Islam and faith outwardly and inwardly, advising their Muslim brethren, enjoining good, and forbidding evil.
