What would they do when…

When your family hurts you

Brothers who threw a brother in a well. A son who would not board the ark. The prophets knew this pain better than anyone.

نوحNuh

His own son refused to board the ark, and his own wife is named in the Quran as an example of disbelief. Nuh still called to his son with love: "My son, come aboard with us." After the flood he still asked about him. When Allah answered, Nuh accepted it and asked forgiveness. Loving your family and accepting Allah's decision are not opposites.

Quran 11:45-47Quran 66:10

His whole story
يعقوبYa'qub

His sons lied to him, took one son from him, and later lost another. He was hurt, and he said so. Yet he still spoke to them, still trusted them with hope, and still sent them out with "do not despair of the mercy of Allah." He never stopped being their father.

Quran 12:18Quran 12:87

His whole story
هارونHarun

Harun had tried to stop the calf-worship, and still his brother came back and grabbed him by the beard in front of everyone. He did not shout back or walk away. He said "O son of my mother", explained himself, and reminded Musa that they were family.
