The Prophet's Painful Episode of Torture

In the early days of Islam, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) witnessed the torture and oppression of Muslims in Mecca. They were subjected to physical, emotional, and psychological harm. Abu Jahl, the Pharaoh of his time, escalated his aggression against the Muslims, targeting the most vulnerable members of society. The Prophet could do little to physically intervene, but he would visit and offer words of comfort to the tortured Muslims. One particular episode involved the family of Yasser, who faced extreme torture. The Prophet could only say to them, 'Be patient, family of Yasser, paradise is promised for you.' Despite the pain, the Prophet Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam demonstrated determination and instilled courage in his community.
