Allah speaks about all the prophets and He
said every one of them
used to make an effort towards
and haste
towards
doing good deeds, al khairat.
Hayat refers to
the goodness and all goodness in terms of
the worship of Allah and the charities and
so on, starting with
worshiping Allah alone.
You worship your maker alone
and what they did is they continued to
help others even though people were nasty
towards them. Look at Nabi Muhammad
salallahu alaihi wasallam, just by way of example.
When the people of Taif
had hurled stones at Him and the people
of Taif
had
sworn Him,
they actually injured him when he was given
an opportunity to harm them back,
he said,
hoomlaiaalamoon.
Oh Allah, guide
my people because they don't know. They don't
know.
What don't they know? They don't know what
has happened. I have a message from you,
oh Allah. I am your messenger.
They are literally throwing stones at me, hurling
abuse at me, without realizing that they're actually
harming
a messenger of Allah,
but
he made a dua for them.
Instead, Nabi Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam went
a step further.
When the people he called towards the goodness
did not listen to the goodness in Taif
and harmed him, he complained about his own
weakness. He didn't complain about their harshness.
He says, oh Allah I'm so weak.
O Allah I complain to you
the weakness,
the fact that I am weak, my own
strength is less, it's weak.
