When the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings Upon Him) was conveying the Message of Allah (Most Glorified, Most High) to the people of Ta'if, they mocked him, abused him and threw rocks at him so much so that his shoes became soaked with blood. The Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings Upon Him) made the following Du'a (supplication) as he left Ta'if:
O Allah! I complain to You of my weakness, my scarcity of resources and my humiliation before the people. O Most Merciful of those who are merciful. O Lord of the weak and my Lord too. To whom have you entrusted me? To a distant person who receives me with hostility? Or to an enemy to whom you have granted authority over my affair? So long as You are not angry with me, I do not care. Your favour is of more abundance to me. I seek refuge in the light of Your Face by which all darkness is dispelled and every affair of this world and the next is set right, lest Your anger or your displeasure descend upon me. I desire your pleasure and satisfaction until you are pleased. There is no Power and no Might except by You.
In the course of calling people to Allah (Most Glorified, Most High) and his Messenger (Peace and Blessings Upon Him) you will be faced with people saying harsh words and nasty comments about Islam and about Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings Upon Him). No matter what we may face on the streets and how many unkind words are thrown in our direction, it would never compare to what the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings Upon Him) and his Companions (May Allah Be Pleased With Them) went through. We are not seeking the pleasure of the people, rather, we are striving to achieve the Pleasure of Allah (Most Glorified, Most High).
