صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                                             صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

O devotees of the Prophet! From the aforementioned incident, we have learnt that bearing difficulties and trials in the way of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has been the way of the righteous people of Allah, just as we heard that after embracing faith, Pharaoh, the evil husband of a righteous female slave of Allah Almighty, tormented her greatly. But may we be sacrificed upon her courage, patience, passion and enthusiasm of faith that she bore those painful difficulties and sacrificed her life, but did not give up her faith.

Therefore, those Islamic brothers and sisters who are ridiculed, beaten and taunted by their family members and relatives for adopting the Sunnah and attaching themselves to the Madani environment, similarly, those fortunate individuals who were previously disbelievers but have now, by the Grace and Mercy of Allah Almighty, accepted Islam and due to which, they are being harassed by their family members and relatives, should take a lesson from this story of Sayyidatuna Aasiyah رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهَا and remain firm on the Divine path with patience and steadfastness instead of losing courage over the difficulties faced in it.

Besides this, they should also continue to make Du’a to Allah Almighty with a sincere heart. They should never think that why am I being mistreated etc. when I have never caused any harm or difficulty to anyone. Some foolish people even utter words of disbelief in such situations.

Likewise, the companions عَـلَيْهِمُ الرِّضْوَانْ and righteous saints رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ  were also tormented so much in the Divine path that it causes a person’s tears to flow.

Therefore, when experiencing the difficulties of walking the path of truth, a person should bear the hardships with patience and not complain or utter
