Abu Talib called his nephew and explained the situation and entreated him not to put any strain on him by antagonizing the tribes.  The Prophet faced a great crisis and the only support he could depend upon was now wavering. The movement was face to face with the greatest peril.  Yet, the Prophet, with his characteristic fortitude born of this conviction, replied:

 

Dear uncle, by God, if these people even put the sun on my right hand and the moon on my left and ask me to give up my mission, I will not do it, even if I lose my life in the struggle.

 

This was the voice which changed the course of history and crushed all opposition and obstacles, but the quraish could not realize its force.  Abu Talib, however, was impressed and said to the Prophet:

 

Now dear nephew, preach whatever you wish. I will never give you up on any account.

We, as his followers, must live and spread this message today at a time when hatefulness and ugliness towards each other has become the norm.

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)

{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)

The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]

The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)  also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
