282 The Glad Tidings of the Messiah (pbuh)

Gospel

Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for
theirs is the kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are you when people insult
you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you be-
cause of Me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in
Heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were
before you. (Matthew 5:10-12)
Be on your guard against men; they will hand you over to the local
councils and flog you in their synagogues. On My account, you
will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and
to the Gentiles. (Matthew 10:17-18)

... They called the Apostles in and had them flogged. Then they or-
dered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. The
Apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been
counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the name [of Jesus]. Day
after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never
stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the
Christ. (Acts 5:40-42)

Torah

"Your enemies will be clothed in shame, and the tents of the wicked
will be no more." (Job 8:22)

THE REWARD OF THOSE WHO MIGRATE FOR

ALLAH'S SAKE

As for those who migrate for Allah's sake after being
wronged, We shall give them good lodging in this world,
and the reward of the Hereafter is greater still, if they only
knew. (Surah an-Nahl, 41)
