COWARDICE ( J U B N )

"Jubn" signifies being apprehensive. The important measure of outrage

(ghadab) or treating cruelly is called grit (shajâ'at). Outrage

which is not exactly the essential sum is called weakness

(jubn). Weakness is a bad habit. Imâm-I Muhammad canister Idris Shâfi'î

'rahimahullâhu ta'âlâ' says, "An individual who acts fainthearted in a

circumstance which requests valiance looks like an ass. An individual who

is given a discipline by the adjudicator will seem to be Satan in the event that he

doesn't acknowledge the discipline". A defeatist wouldn't have the option to

show ghayrat for his better half or for his family members when the circumstance

requires it. He wouldn't have the option to safeguard them and consequently will

endure mistreatment (zulm) and devaluation (zillat). He wouldn't

let's assume anything when he saw a restricted demonstration (harâm) being

committed and he would likewise be voracious toward others'

cash or property. He wouldn't have the option to hold a solid employment nor

would he see the value in the significance of an obligation that is doled out to

him. Allâhu ta'âlâ in sûra "Tawba" of the Qur'ân al-kerîm acclaims

courage (shajâ'at) and in sûra "Nûr" orders us not to feel sorry for

while rebuffing philanderers.

Rasûlullah 'sall-Allâhu 'alaihi wa sal-lam' states in a hadîth-isherîf: "In the event that my dear girl Fâtima committed robbery, I would

remove her hand." Allâhu ta'âlâ acclaims the Friends (Sahâba)

of His favored Courier 'sall-Allâhu 'alaihi wa sal-lam' by

expressing, in Sûra Fat-h: "They are unforgiving towards unbelievers." He

adulates them since they are furious toward doubters and treat

them brutally in war. The seventy-third âyat-I-kerîma of Sûra

Tawba of the Qur'ân al-kerîm indicates: "Be unforgiving towards

doubters!" It implies we ought not be fearful when

skeptics assault. Rasûlullah 'sall-Allâhu 'alaihi wa sal-lam'

states in a hadîth-I-sherîf: "The best of my Ummat (Muslims) is

the person who is ardent like iron." It is important to be intense and

harsh toward the people who assault Islam or hold animosity toward

Muslims. It isn't reasonable (jâiz) to be fainthearted toward those

individuals. Pusillanimous flights won't change the Declaration of Allâhu

ta'âlâ. At the point when Allâhu ta'âlâ's Declaration around one's season of death

shows up, the holy messenger of death (Azrâil) will find that individual any place

that individual might be. It isn't admissible to open oneself to

risk. It is wrong to remain in a perilous put alone or to stroll on

a hazardous street alone.
