Bravery –
During the Battle of Badr, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, was nearest to the enemy than anyone else and he was the bravest man that day. This has been recorded in Imam Ibn Kathir’s, the Life of the Prophet, Volume 2, Pages 282.
Ali Ibn Abu Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, once commented that Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, was the bravest of men. During the Battle of Badr he remained with and defended the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, from every attack. This has been discussed in Imam Suyuti, Tarikh Al Khulafa, Page 13.
Generally speaking, a muslim must not be afraid of dealing with the difficulties and tests of life. A muslim must adopt a steadfast attitude whereby they face the tests and difficulties of life with a positive mindset so that they overcome them. A muslim must not adopt a negative mindset whereby they collapse under the pressure of tests and difficulties as they should always remember that Allah, the Exalted, never tests a person beyond their limits. Chapter 2 Al Baqarah, verse 286:
“Allāh does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity…”
In addition, a steadfast and positive attitude can be adopted when one adopts strong faith. Certainty of faith is achieved when one learns and acts on Islamic teachings. The one who possesses strong faith will remain firm on the obedience of Allah, the Exalted, in every situation, whether times of ease or difficulty. This obedience involves using the blessings they have been granted correctly as outlined in Islamic teachings. They will show patience in times of difficulty and gratitude in times of ease. Gratitude in one’s intention involves only acting in order to please Allah, the Exalted. Gratitude in one’s speech involves speaking what is good or remaining silent. And gratitude in one’s actions involves using the blessings one has been granted in ways pleasing to Allah, the Exalted, as outlined in the Holy Quran and the traditions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. In addition, patience involves avoiding complaining with one’s speech or actions and remaining firm on the obedience of Allah, the Exalted, believing He only chooses what is best for them, even if this is not obvious to them. Chapter 2 Al Baqarah, verse 216:
“…But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah knows, while you know not.”
Therefore, the one who acts in the correct way in every situation will have the constant support and mercy of Allah, the Exalted, which in turn leads to peace of mind in both worlds. This has been advised in a Hadith found in Sahih Muslim, number 7500.
Whereas, ignorance of Islamic teachings will cause one to adopt weak faith. Weak faith will cause one to easily abandon the obedience of Allah, the Exalted, in certain situations, such as times of difficulty. Therefore, the one who desires a steadfast and positive attitude whereby they overcome every challenge of life with confidence must adopt certainty of faith through learning and acting on Islamic knowledge.
