Most Precious Jewel‏

I was wondering how people are able to give so many sacrifices for their religion. "What" transformed the son of Waleed into "Saif-ullah" (sword of Allah). How can an angry person like Umar become "Al-Farooq" after accepting Islam.......How can people who couldn't do much before becoming Muslims were able to do wonders after accepting Islam, while we Muslims (of today) are born Muslims yet have no such capability.

Let us consider the following situation:

A mother requests her daughter to give her a glass of water, but the daughter feels it to be the most difficult task of her life to leave her warm and comfortable bed and obey her mother. The same daughter when becomes a mother herself, she can wake up in the middle of winter nights to clean her baby, feed her and do anything for her,...."

What transformed a lazy daughter into an efficient mother. Its something called "mamta" which already existed in her but needed to be polished. She attained it after 9 months of hardships for something which now she adores so much and can give her life for it.

Probably it was the jewel of "Imaan" which all suhabas (r.a) attained after giving all the sacrifices for Islam, hence were transformed into people who would give anything for it, thus would be praised in this world and rewarded in the life hereafter...
