ecorded the greatest triumphs of Islam that remained lively and illuminative to open the paths of
struggle for freedom and independence to people. Aspects of courage:
The most important natural aspects of courage are as follows:
‐ The preservation of the natural state and equanimity, and the avoidance of hesitation during
disputations and exchanging opinions and defending the beliefs
‐ Overcoming the countering difficulties and taking steps in the path of reforming the faults of
people’s lives and beliefs
‐ Declaring the right and the bravery in the face of the evils for the sake of exalting the wording of
the right Ethical courage:
Ethical courage stands for declaring the right bravely. It also stands for the self‐denial. Islam has
adopted this very meaning in its educational aspects. Muslims are required to express the right
under any circumstance. The Prophet said, “Say the truth even if it injures your own personality.”
“Care not for any blame in the field of saying the truth.” Within his precepts to Imam al‐Hassan his
son, Imam Ali says, “Engage in the right wherever it is.” the Prophet (s) warned the nation against
concealing the truth before the tyrants and the unjust. He said, “My nation will be vilipended if
they fear of declaring the wrong deeds of the unjust.”
Abu Therr al‐Ghefari was the most famous in the field of declaring the right and criticizing the evil.
Induced by the revelation of the Islamic doctrine, he went on denying the Umayyad policy when
they deviated and went astray. He used to threaten Othman and call for revolting against him.
Abu Therr’s call was originated from a heart that cognized Islam thoroughly and understood its
goals and factuality. He denied Othman’s policies of acting fraudulently in the nation’s destiny
when he usurped its fortune to provide them to the celebrities and the rich individuals while
starvation attacked people all over the state. Sayyid Qutb says, “Abu Therr’s call was one of the
Islamic thrusts that the corrupt‐hearted denied. Presently, the likes of such individuals –such as
the packs of the colonialists‐ are still denying the calls of right. It was a call of arousing the
consciences that are uncontrolled by greed in front of the harsh inflation of the riches in a way of
classifying Muslims into various categories and demolishing the bases that Islam came for
reforming.”[1]
Abu Therr conducted very bravely when he showed his intense denial and indignation on Othman
who exiled him to Rabatha where he was deceased due to starvation. Meanwhile, Othman
grasped the riches to spend them generously on the Umayyads and the sons of Muit, and
withheld from this notable companion, who was likened, by the Prophet, to Jesus (a) in guidance
and straightness.
