QS Muzzammil - Keep away from them in a good way

It's the 25th day of Ramadhan, and I decided to read Surah Al-Muzzammil from the Qur'an. Just reading the first verse reminded me of how terrifying it must have been for Muhammad SAW to receive the first revelation. His body trembled with fear, doubt, confusion, and awe over what he had just experienced. He rushed home and asked his wife, Khadijah RA, to cover him with a blanket.

Receiving the first revelation didn't make him walk out of the cave feeling instantly blessed, as if light was shining from his body like a saint—NO! Instead, it was an overwhelming, human experience. It also reminded me of Lesley Hazleton, a British-American Jewish author and journalist, who spoke about this in a TED Talk, saying that doubt is what makes it feel real.

This chapter also strengthens Prophet Muhammad SAW by addressing the challenges he faced after he began preaching openly. The Quraysh leaders opposed him, mocked his message, and made life difficult for him and his followers.

Verse 8-11: 

8. And remember the Name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him with complete devotion.

9. (He is) the Lord of the east and the west, there is no deity but Him, so take Him alone as your Guardian.

10. And be patient (O Muhammad SAW) with what they say, and keep away from them in a good way.

11. And leave Me alone to deal with the deniers, those who live in luxury, and give them respite for a little while.

I bolded how Allah asked Muhammad SAW to be patient with those who were mean to him. I don’t know, I just feel emotional about how Muhammad SAW is portrayed by ignorance and hateful people these days, its so rude yet still Allah Asked Muhammad SAW to be patient?[]
