Verse 153

O you who believe, seek help through patience and prayer. Surely, Allah is with those who are patient. (Verse 153)

As we have already seen, the enemies of Islam have been objecting to the change in the orientation of Qiblah, wishing to produce in the minds of the people doubts about the validity of Islam as a religion. The earlier verses have, in answering these objections, removed all such misgivings. But some of the enemies simply ignored the answers, and still persisted in their hostility. This situation was likely to dishearten the Muslims. So, the present verse nullifies such a reaction on the part of the Muslims by prescribing the method of overcoming one's grief or anxiety.
