So, that is the message to Muhammad salassalam.
Another verse comes to my mind of Surat
Al Furqan, where Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says,
The good believers, the the ones who are
worshiping the most merciful.
When the ignorant
address them, the only words they have for
them is peace.
Peace. It's okay. They swear you, peace.
They accuse you, peace. They say something bad
about you, peace. Slander,
peace.
They try to rile you up as we
would say, peace. Mashallah. That's the way. Leave
it in the hands of Allah. Don't worry.
Allah is the greatest. Don't lose your health
because of words that someone else has said.
When we were young, we used to say,
you know, sticks and stones would hurt my
bones, and then we would go on to
say that words wouldn't do anything to us.
That's not true. Words hurt a lot of
people, and actually cause tremendous
pain to a lot of people. Let's change
that.
Let's go back to what Allah is saying.
When these people address you,
you don't need to actually become so emotional
about what they've said. It's okay, discount it.
They are showing themselves and their own level,
not yours. They are stooping to a very
low level.
