Assalamualaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu Masjid,
Indeed, in the Messenger of Allah you have an excellent example for whoever has hope in Allah and the Last Day, and remembers Allah often"
(Surah Ahzab:21)
This is the last part in our special Rabbi-ul-Awwal series of learning from the character of Prophet Mohammed (SAWS). This week's personality traits are his bravery and courage. Not only did Prophet (SAWS) show bravery in the traditional sense of taking active part in battles being fought against troublemakers; but he showed courage in other spheres of life too, such as speaking truth in front of a whole crowd of Makkans who deeply believed in shirk and falsehood, during his very early years of Prophethood at his warning sermon at Mount Safa. He was also brave enough to go against his own companion group at the treaty of Hudaibiya, when he believed that this would be the right course of action for Islam. There was one source of his courage: the ultimate belief and trust in Allah and His plans.
We face many such situations in life where it would be easy for us to go with the majority opinion or do something just because it is low risk. However, following in the footsteps of the Prophet (SAWS), let's practice the skills needed to be brave and courageous, to stand up against falsehood and evil, to do the right thing, even when it goes against those that are nearest to us. May Allah give us the strength and our children to always be brave in the face of fear or adversity. May Allah guide us all to follow the excellent character of our beloved Prophet Mohammed (SAWS) and may we show our love by following what he taught us to do and abstaining from what he asked us to refrain from.
