Victory and help is from Allah

(Remember) when you (Muhammad SAW) said to the believers, "Is it not enough for you that your Lord (Allâh) should help you with three thousand angels; sent down?"

"Yes, if you hold on to patience and piety, and the enemy comes rushing at you; your Lord will help you with five thousand angels having marks (of distinction)."


Allâh made it not but as a message of good news for you and as an assurance to your hearts. And there is no victory except from Allâh, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

That He might cut off a part of those who disbelieve, or expose them to infamy, so that they retire frustrated.

Aal e Imran 124-127

Comment
These verses emphasize that once Momineen are in the state of Jihad or it is obligatory upon them to fight non-believers,they should bnot turn back.Allah will help them by the heavenly means.They shuld'nt fear that the opponent is large in number.They owe their lives to Allah and to Him they have to return.

At this point it is again very important to remind that for Jihad there are certain conditions.Not every one can initiate a battle and term it as Jihad.The amin condition for Jihad is the presence of an Islamic authority and government i.e a Caliph/King who comes upon th criterion set for caliphate and the presence of Islamic law and Islamic system in country
