In this world, people might say bad things
to you or about you. They may disagree
with you. They may be hurtful and abusive.
They may accuse you, slander,
backbite
and say the nastiest of things. Well,
Allah tells us in verse number 33
in a beautiful way that they said even
nastier things about people who were better than
you and I and look at the advice
Allah gave them. Allah tells the prophet Muhammad
peace be upon him,
We know that it hurts you, what they're
saying.
What are they saying? They called him a
madman. They called him a magician. They called
him a womanizer. They said he was after
power. He was after money. They called him
a liar. They called him a sorcerer. And
the list goes on and on.
And you know, he was the messenger of
Allah. He knew he was the prophet of
Allah, sallallahu alayhi wasallam
Still,
Allah tells him, we know it's hurt. It's
hurting you. We know it has hurt you.
We know you want to see them guided.
We want you to know they don't belay
you.
They too know that you are speaking the
truth, but the wrongdoers from among them are
simply denying out of their pride. So Allah
says, we know that what they say hurts
you,
but we want you to know they don't
belay you. Deep down, they know you're right.
They know you're an honest, upright person.
You need to know the wrongdoers. They are
just denying
out of pride. Now my brothers and sisters,
yes, this is a beautiful verse and it's
directed to the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
But isn't the lesson for every one of
us?
Allah says immediately after that,
Messengers
before you
have also been belied,
and they were patient
regarding what came in their direction
and they were patient regarding the harm
that they faced
until
the help of Allah came to them.
SubhanAllah.
