on keeping calm, and carrying on

Ibrahim a.s.

Mus'ab ibn Umair.

These were people who had to sacrifice their previous lives and leave what they loved behind.

"..verily, Ibrahim was soft hearted and forbearing" (at Taubah:114)

being soft-hearted, what our prophet Ibrahim had to go through must be very hard on him.

And Mus'ab, leaving his nice clothes, nice perfume, comfortable surroundings for something uncertain, something that exists with certainty only in their hearts.

We sold our souls to Allah, and we hope for His pleasure.
