Throughout history, Prophets have called people to righteousness, Allah's religion, and guided them to enlightenment. But in every era, some people turned on His Prophets and did their best to prevent them from teaching. These people believed that by slandering these individuals, whom Allah had chosen to serve as role models of morality, they could block their mission. When they realized that their slander had little or no effect, they resorted to exile, arrest, or even murder.
The Qur'an relates the Prophets' struggles in great detail, especially those of our Prophet Mohammed (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), who struggled against the Makkan unbelievers and hypocrites. It also reveals that those believers who faced slander and aggression never compromised; rather, they continued their struggle with the same motivation and persistence.
The Qur'an reveals that Prophets endured slanders like "mad" (Qur'an, 15:6; Qur'an, 68:51) and "lying magician" (Qur'an, 38:4). These and other slanders were used against Prophet Mohammed (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), and his people conspired to imprison, kill or expel him (Qur'an, 8:30).
Believers will experience similar hardships, for:
Or did you suppose that you would enter the Garden without facing the same as those who came before you? Poverty and illness afflicted them, and they were shaken to the point that the Messenger and those who believed with him asked: "When is Allah's help coming?" Be assured that Allah's help is very near. (Qur'an, 2:214)
Allah has created all Prophets as role models characterized by such qualities as superior intellect, foresight, and morality. But they and their followers, as the Qur'an reveals, never relented or despaired. As the Qur'an states:
Many a Prophet has fought, when there were many thousands with him. They did not give up in the face of what assailed them in the Way of Allah, nor did they weaken or yield. Allah loves the steadfast. (Qur'an, 3:146)
The Prophets enlightened their followers and gave them this good news. Muslims who were with our Prophet Mohammed (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, while enduring hardships: "This is what Allah and His Messenger promised us. Allah and His Messenger told us the truth" (Qur'an, 33:22). Our Lord also reveals that those who show determination and virtue will have their faith and submission enhanced.
