But no by your Lord! They will not believe until they make you judge over what has broken out between them and find in themselves no inhibition regarding what you decide but submit in full submission. He has blocked the path to Himself for everyone unless there is faith in Muḥammad ﷺ. Those who do not walk under his banner have nothing to speak of before God. Moreover He has made one of the conditions of faith the complete removal of oppositional tendencies in your heart. And find in themselves no inhibition... There is no escape for you but to face even perilous situations laughing just as someone said: If a beloved is unfair to me I am fair to him. I gulp down for him the most bitter and give him what is sweet to drink. If he says to me “It is over” I choose equanimity without making difficulties.
