Abstract
One of the topics that is emphasized in the Holy Quran is the unseen help. In the Holy Quran, God has given promises to both groups of believers and disbelievers that are seen in the form of good news and warnings. Regarding believers, God has made promises, some of which will be fulfilled in this world and others in the hereafter; among the promises that God has made to believers in this world is the promise of help (Nosrat in Arabic) this help is expressed in the form of unseen assistance. On the other hand, the conditions for the fulfillment of this promise are another issue that is more important than the promise itself. Accordingly, the present study, using a descriptive-analytical method based on the Quran and the narrations of the Ahl al-Bayt (a.s.), has addressed this issue from two aspects: First, what are the conditions for unseen help to occur? And second, what solutions are there, based on the Quran and narrations, to fulfill the conditions of this divine promise? The result is that: In the Holy Quran and the narrations of the Ahl alBayt (a.s.), the conditions for fulfilling the promise of helping the believers have been stated in two dimensions: theological and practical. In the theological dimension, belief in God, increasing faith and belief in Him, and accepting guardianship are among the most important ways to fulfill this promise. In the practical aspect, in the social and political dimensions, solutions have been expressed that striving for the exaltation of the Islamic society through unity and integrity in the way of God, maintaining economic and political independence, and all-out struggle against the arrogant are among the most important solutions to realizing this promise.
