Seeking Refuge to Preserve Faith

As opposition hardened, the persecution deepened. <break time="0.8s" /> This time, it went beyond words. <break time="0.8s" />

The weakest believers were singled out. <break time="0.8s" /> Those without protection. <break time="0.8s" /> Those with no tribe to defend them. <break time="0.8s" />

They were exposed to harsh conditions. <break time="0.8s" /> Enduring pain meant to force surrender. <break time="0.8s" /> They were pressured

to abandon faith. <break time="0.8s" /> But belief remained firm. <break time="0.8s" /> Their suffering did not erase conviction. <break time="0.8s" />

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) witnessed what his followers endured. <break time="0.8s" /> He was not commanded

to respond with force. <break time="0.8s" /> Nor was retaliation allowed. <break time="0.8s" /> Instead,

he strengthened their hearts. <break time="0.8s" /> He reminded them that hardship was not without

purpose. <break time="0.8s" /> That Allah sees what others inflict. <break time="0.8s" /> And that patience is never wasted. <break time="0.8s" />
