Be Calm

Salam Brothers and Sisters,

The Prophet ﷺ told us to be calm. Even in his time, he himself faced many verbal abuses. There was one time Aisha zinged a comeback at them. (◠v◠) But the Prophet is mercy to the worlds, & he reminded:

مهلا يا عائشة فإن الله يحب الرفق في الأمر كله
Be calm! O Aisha, for Allah loves that one should be kind and lenient in all matters.
Anyway, at least the Prophet was thought less by the non muslims. I on the other hand, was thought less by (some) non muslims and muslims. Sometimes, I feel like a universal pariah. But, the Holy Quran states - be patient & avoid graciously, pray to Allah SWT and say الحمد لله.

                    بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
ولقد نعلم أنك يضيق صدرك بما يقولون
فسبح بحمد ربك وكن من الساجدين
واعبد ربك حتى يأتيك اليقينAnd We already know that your breast is constrained by what they say. So exalt with praise of your Lord and be of those who prostrate (to Allah). And worship your Lord until there comes to you the certainty (death). [Quran 15:97-99]

واصبر على ما يقولون واهجرهم هجرا جميلاAnd be patient over what they say and avoid them with gracious avoidance. [Quran 73:10]

Actually I've seen people degrade many modern day people too. But good people overlooks and continue doing good. Don't be jealous bcoz we're beautiful. v(◠v◠)v الحمد لله

واصبر وما صبرك إلا بالله ولا تحزن عليهم ولا تك في ضيق مما يمكرون
إن الله مع الذين اتقوا والذين هم محسنونAnd be patient, and your patience is not but through Allah. And do not grieve over them and do not be in distress over what they conspire. Indeed, Allah is with those who fear Him and those who are doers of good. [Quran 16:127-128] | more

.....................................................................................................................
Honestly, the more grievious thing we should be more anxious of is if we become the ones who oppress others, as it will be written in our Book of Deed. What they did is in their Books, what we care is what is written in our Books. And remember, the dua of the oppressed has no barrier between them and Allah against us. So brothers and sisters, please be calm. DO NOT OPPRESS.

اتق دعوة المظلوم، فإنها ليس بينها وبين الله حجابBeware of the supplication of the oppressed for there is no barrier between him and Allah. [From Tirmidhi, Vol 4 Book 1 Hadith 2014]

We also never know, if an enemy will change and become an intimate friend. Please take inspiration from Umar al-Khattab who had wanted to murder Rasulullah, yet are then blessed with faith, even Khalid al-Walid who routed the muslims at the Battle of Uhud yet are then blessed with faith. ^{[Q 26:20-21, 26:111-114]} The truth is, we never know, to whom of us will Allah bestows His Forgiveness and Mercy & enters Paradise.

But we know Allah will not be Merciful to those who are not merciful to mankind.

So have mercy. Peace be upon you. ❤
