EXAMPLES FROM THE LIVES

OF THE PROPHETS AND

TRUE BELIEVERS

The struggling against disbelievers constituted a major
part of the efforts of the prophets and the true believers who
followed them. These noble people were faced with many
incidents that would otherwise have seemed unfortunate.
Yet, when confronted with these trials, that trait which was
their most distinguishing became apparent; no matter how
trying the circumstances were, they felt the peace and
comfort of knowing that nothing is apart and independent of
God. Such a knowledge aided them to adopt a positive
attitude…
The messengers of God and the true believers led their
lives assured of the fact that God will help them during the
hard times and that everything will ultimately turn out in
their favour, and based their entire outlook on this fact. This
superior trait of theirs, derived from a profound faith, sets a
good example for all believers.
