because we will be few in number on that day?' He said: 'No, rather you will be many on that day, but you will be like the refuse of the flood. Allāh will take away fear of you from the hearts of your enemies, and Allāh will pelt your hearts with Wahn (weakness).' Someone said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, what is Wahn?'

Commentary
Only Allāh makes the disbelievers fear the believers, and only when they are worthy of the name "believers." And this remains true only as long as they abide by the true teachings of the religion. It is only through that prescription that they were blessed with success in this life and the Hereafter from their Lord. The more the Muslims go away from their religion, from the teachings in the Sunnah, the more their enemies become fearless of them, and no matter what they do beyond following the Sunnah, they will never have the ability to bring about other than humiliation.
