Image by author

Courage is Steadfastness of the heart at times of calamity, and remaining calm when Faced with Frightening situations — Courage comes From the heart; it is steadfastness and Calm at times of Fear.

It is a characteristic that results From patience and positive thinking, For when a person thinks that he can overcome trouble and has patience to help him, he will remain steadfast.

By the same token, Cowardice results From negative thinking and impatience, which makes a person think that he cannot overcome the problem and he does not have the patience to keep calm. The origin of cowardice is negative thinking and thinking that the worst will happen.

A Strong Believer(Qawi) is better and is more lovable to Allah than a Weak Believer… (Hadith From Sahih Muslim,2664).

Imam An-Nawawi said explaining this Hadith that: ‘ The meaning of Quwwah (strength) here is the greatness of the self and being alert in the matters pertaining to the Akhirah (the afterlife), and the ones who have this quality race towards the enemies(of Islam) during the battle and are quick to leave (march From their homes) For it (matyrdom), and are Firm and strong in enjoining good and Forbidding evil, and (they) bear with patience and endure all the troubles encountered in this path…’

Everyone's God-given human dignity must be respected, regardless of his or her Faith, race, ethnic origin, gender, or social status — Because everyone is created by God Almighty, the Maker of all, humans must treat one another with full honor, respect, and loving-kindness

Allah has recorded such acts of courage in His Speech, The Quran, as a reminder For the Believers — that no matter who the adversary is we will not stop preaching the Truth and commanding goodness, and the greatest of the Truths is to proclaim that Allah(swt) is the only one to be worshipped and sought assistance From.

We will always proclaim that acts of polytheism and atheism are acts of evil and rebellion against The Almighty Creator, Allah.

Ibn Hazm (May Allah have mercy on him) said:

The definition of Courage is — being willing to offer one’s life to defend one’s Faith and womenfolk, to defend a neighbour who has been wronged, to defend an oppressed person who has sought your protection, and to defend someone who has been wronged with regard to his wealth and honour, or who has been wronged in any other way, whether the wrongdoers are small or great in number.

(Ibn al-Athir said in an-Nihayah 2/23):

The one who wrestles others is the one who is so strong that he cannot be thrown down. He used this phrase in the context of self-control, when suppressing one’s anger and suppressing one’s nafs (self), because if a person controls his nafs — he will defeat the strongest of his enemies and the worst of his opponents.

So, the point is—If a person has even a little self-respect, he will stand up For the Truth and he will not tolerate any level of injustice in front of him.

A Believer is always courageous because he lives his life to please and obey his Creator — so he does not need the permission of others to uphold the Truth and stand against injustice and oppression.

May Allah(swt) make us supporters of Truth. (Ameen).
