Courage : Manners define you.
Definition:
Courage enables us to face difficulty, danger or pain in a way that allows us to maintain control over a situation. We can build courage by identifying things that frighten or challenge us and thinking of strategies for coping with them. We also can build courage by remembering that nothing can harm us unless Allah wills it and nothing can benefit us unless Allah wills it.
Courage and bravery are two more virtues apparent in the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him). Courage is a virtue, a component of which is doing the right thing without fearing the consequences being controlled by one's intellect and wisdom. Bravery is a praiseworthy virtue and overcomes fear of harm to one's self. An example is when one engages in combat despite the odds being against oneself. There were many occasions when the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) encountered perilous situations however he never faltered and remained steadfast despite the circumstances even when the most courageous and heroic of his Companions retreated. Once he had decided to advance he was never seen to either retreat or waver, there has never in the history of mankind been a person so brave.
Hadith on courage:
The Prophet said, “The bravest is one who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self.”
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.”
The Prophet said, “Courage is not the absence of fear, but the conquest of it.”
The Prophet said, “Courage is standing firm to virtue when all around bend to the winds of change .
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.”
