Determination

Prophet Muhammad SAW is the one sent by Allah SWT to preach to
his clan. He preaches with own his heart and he invited his family members
and closed one to worship no other than Allah SWT.

Unfortunately, there were many peoples who against the Prophet, especially
the leader of Quraisy tribe. They did many kinds of things to get in the way.
One day, the leader came to Abu Thalib, the prophet’s uncle who always loyal
and protective to the Prophet Muhammad SAW.

“Dear Abu Thalib, your nephew has brought a new religion and he
insulted the religion of our ancestors! We have to punish him Abu Thalib. We
can’t stand it anymore. If you don’t want to give him punishment then we’ll
do it!” yield someone from the Quraisy tribe. Then, another one said, “That’s
right! Muhammad has caused us to be restless!”

Finally, one of the leaders of Quraisy tribe said to Abu Thalib, “Go and
bring this news to him, so that he can change.” Abu Thalib came to Prophet
Muhammad SAW. With a heavy heart he told the prophet everything that
Quraisy leader had said.

“My dear nephew, the Quraisy leaders came to me and asked to me to
talk to you. They asked you to stop your preaching. They also threatened to
punish you if you keep preaching. Please, do it for the sake of your safety and
also mine. Please, don’t make me carry a burden more than I can say,” said
Abu Thalib.

Prophet Muhammad SAW stand up on hearing what Abu Thalib just
said. It looks like he was thinking of the matter so deeply. Then, he said, “In
the name of Allah I should let you know my dear uncle. Even if they put the
sun on my right hand and the moon of my left hand to make me stop
preaching, I will not stop. I will keep preaching until Allah brings me to the
glory of Islam of to my death because of it.”
