Sheikh Muhammad Ibn Saaleh al-‘Utheimeen, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said,
‘Certainly every prophet had enemies, and everyone who followed one of the prophets who was sent, would likewise have enemies. This is something which is necessary, as it is the sunnah of Allaah, the Most Glorified and the Most Exalted. The true path is not a smooth path with no obstacles, surrounded by only flowers and blossoms. Rather the true path of Allaah is hard and difficult.’
(From his well-known series -Open Door Gatherings 3/66. may Allaah have abundant mercy upon him) 1
