Courage  
     
1. Narrated by the humble servant of One Islam, whose name means al-Haqq from Allah’s Apostle in vision, saying: “All that a pure believer needs is within the True and Holy Qur’an. This is the first. Honor the sacred deed (constitution) of One Islam second. Respect these authentic Hadith of Allah's Apostle and no other is the third. Finally, honor all other sacred scripture that respects Allah as one who loves all life, peace and wisdom. Never raise false sayings and false scripture above these four things.”  
2. The Prophet said, “The bravest is one who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self.”
 
3. The Prophet said, “Ten people who speak make more noise than ten thousand who are silent.”
 
4. The Prophet said, “The strongest man in the world is he who stands alone.”
 
5. The Prophet said, “The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them and yet still go out to face it.”
 
6. The Prophet said, “The true test of moral courage is the ability to ignore an insult.”
 
7. The Prophet said, “Courage is not the absence of fear, but the conquest of it.”
 
8. The Prophet said, “A man who speaks the truth is courageous, but friendless.”
 
9. The Prophet said, “Courage is standing firm to virtue when all around bend to the winds of change .”  
10. The Prophet said, “Violence should never be claimed an equal to Courage. A man who defends his family and lands does so out of duty, whereas a man of courage is one who does not denounce his life of virtue in the face of violence.”
