Taken from 'Book of Eemaan' by shaikhul Islam Ibn Taymiyah [rahimahullah]

[i]When the Muslim community loses its way, and ignorance abounds, a true believer becomes a stanger in his own land, alienated from his folk and people. All around him he finds nothing but ridicule and rejection, hindrance and obstruction in his endeavour to obey Allah and adhere to the straight path. In this hostile environment, the believer finds (in the angels) solace and security and courage on the road of true guidance. Allah's soldiers are with him.
The Angels worship Allah and dedicate their lives to Him as the believer does. The Angels bless his every footstep, strenghten his resolve and remind him of the good reward that awaits him. Thus the true believer is not alone on the road to Allah.
Indeed, he is in a great procession, with the majority of Allah's creations. His companions are the honourable Angels, the prophets, the heavens and the earth. In them he has the best company and strongest support, and through them he finds the confidence to endure. Rejection by people only serves to increase the believers's steadfastness and resolve.[/i]
