The next great event which will be discussed in this blog series is the patience and sacrifice of the third rightly guided Caliph of Islam Usman Bin Affan, may Allah be pleased with him.
This great event is widely known amongst muslims. But to sum up Usman Bin Affan, may Allah be pleased with him, remained patient and avoided shedding the blood of those who wrongfully challenged his position. He could have easily crushed their resistance but chose to remain patient as he did not desire to harm them. This patience and self-sacrifice lead to his martyrdom. This event is mentioned in many Hadiths such as the one found in Jami At Tirmidhi, number 3803.
Islam does not demand muslims to make such a sacrifice but it does advise them to make small ones such as donating voluntary charity after one has donated their obligatory charity or sacrificing some sleep in order to offer the voluntary night prayer. It is important to understand when one makes these sacrifices it benefits them in this world and in the next. Even if it appears they are losing out and others are benefiting, such as giving charity. Allah, the Exalted, will always bless a muslim who sacrifices for His sake with things which are much greater than what they sacrificed. This has been proven by many verses, Hadiths and events, such as this one. The muslim who refuses to make these sacrifices will never obtain these special blessings nor will they reach a high rank. If one does not obtain temporary worldly things without sacrifice how can they expect to obtain eternal religious blessings without sacrifice? A muslim should always bear in mind that they will only obtain further greater blessings by sacrificing for the sake of Allah, the Exalted, and remember the righteous predecessors who did the same so that they too follow in their footsteps. Simply put, the more one sacrifices the more they will obtain and the less they sacrifice the less they will obtain. So it is up to each muslim whether they desire more blessings or less.
