Those who, when an oppressive wrong is inflicted on them, they take it patiently and their patience is indeed commendable. Believers of today must also follow in the footsteps of the prophets and true believers of the past, by responding to the physical and verbal attacks of disbelievers with patience and wisdom. This is the only way to attain true success in life, both in this world and in the hereafter.

The examples of the lives of the prophets and true believers provide us with a superior trait: no matter how difficult the circumstances or how abusive the verbal or physical attacks of disbelievers, these people always responded with moderation and patience, putting their trust in God. This attitude sets a good example for all believers, who must recognize the good in this treatment, knowing that it is ordained by God for a purpose, and that true righteousness is to show patience and putting trust in Him.

Believers are those who are true righteousness, who believe in God, the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the Prophets, and who give away their wealth to the needy. The story of the Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) illustrates how believers act in tough situations, with faith, courage, and trust in God.

In contrast, disbelievers react with fear and doubt, leading them to further disbelief.

Emigrating for God's cause is a form of worship, and those who do so can expect God's mercy and infinite rewards. Believers can learn from the exemplary faith of Prophet Musa (peace be upon him) and Prophet Muhammad, (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) as they put their trust in God in the face of adversity.

The Prophet Musa (peace be upon him) was able to overcome the oppressive Pharaoh with God's help, and the Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), despite being pursued by disbelievers, was unharmed and reached Medina safely. These stories demonstrate God's power and mercy, and serve as a reminder to believers to maintain faith in their Lord in the face of opposition from disbelievers.

Prophet Yusuf (peace be upon him) is an exemplary figure for all believers, showing patience and trust in God despite the difficulties of imprisonment. In return for his patience and recognition of the good in his situation, Yusuf was granted authority over the state-treasury and was made a ruler in the country. His story serves as a reminder of the rewards believers receive for their sincerity and trust in God, and that any event, no matter how small, is definitely ordained in favour of believers.
