Facing Challenges –
After visiting the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, the Companions from Medina, the Helpers, may Allah be pleased with them, took another pledge of obedience with him. After this meeting, they were commanded to return home. The non-Muslim leaders of Mecca found out that some of the people from Medina had accepted Islam and as a result tried to apprehend them before they escaped back to Medina. All of them managed to escape except Sa’d Bin Ubadah, may Allah be pleased with him. He was caught, tied up and dragged to Mecca where he was violently beaten. Sa’d, may Allah be pleased with him, remained firm on his faith and never wavered. He managed to get released by calling on some noblemen of Mecca who used to do business with him. This has been discussed in Sirat Ibn Hisham, Pages 88-89.
In life a Muslim will always face either times of ease or times of difficulty. No one only experiences times of ease without experiencing some difficulties. But the thing to note is that even though difficulties by definition are hard to deal with they are in fact a means to obtain and demonstrate one’s true greatness and servanthood to Allah, the Exalted. In addition, in the majority of cases people learn more important life lessons when they face difficulties then when they face times of ease. And people often change for the better after experiencing times of difficulty than times of ease. One only needs to reflect on this in order to understand this truth. In fact, if one studies the Holy Quran they will realise the majority of the events discussed involve difficulties. This indicates that true greatness does not lie in always experiencing times of ease. It in fact, lies in experiencing difficulties while remaining obedient to Allah, the Exalted, by fulfilling His commands, refraining from His prohibitions and by facing destiny with patience. This is proven by the fact that each of the great difficulties discussed in Islamic teachings end with ultimate success for those who obeyed Allah, the Exalted. So a Muslim should not be bothered about facing difficulties as these are just moments for them to shine while acknowledging their true servanthood to Allah, the Exalted, through sincere obedience. This is the key to ultimate success in both worlds.
