People barbarically insulted, sarcastically mocked, heartlessly humiliated, viciously disgraced and arrogantly shrugged off our beloved Prophet Muhammad (saws) in the initial stages of his Prophethood, yet he persevered through it all, he stood his ground against all odds, compromised by putting behind his dignity, sacrificed by leaving behind his honor and adopted “silence” by not giving importance to his pride even though he was the last and greatest Prophet of Allah (swt).

IBN-AL-HAITHAM has a wonderful post.
