Also Among the lessons of the blessed Migration is to be steadfast the only Religion which Allah accepts from His slaves, Islam, and to sacrifice for the sake of Allah. Also to be detached from the worldly interestsd in order to get the great rewards on the Day of Judgment. This was the lesson that the Prophet taught his Companions and the entire nation.

When his uncle came to hi, with the offer of Quraysh who said:

"If you want money we will give you until you become the richest amongst us, and if you want position and fame we will make you our dignitary, so that we will not do anything without consulting you, and if you are seeking to be a king we will make you our king." To that the Prophet responded to his uncle:

"والله يا عم لو وضعوا الشمس بيميني والقمر بيساري على أن أترك هذا الأمر ما تركته حتى يظهره الله أو أهلِكَ دونه"

This means: "O uncle I swear by Allah that if they put the sun in my right hand and the moon in my left hand so that I leave this call to Islam, I will not leave it until Allah makes Islam victorious/widespread or I die for it.

So he taught us a great lesson of how the person who is calling for the truth remains steadfast to the True Belief, and to teaching the good, no matter how much seductive offers he gets. This was clearly seen when the Companions of the Prophet migrated from Makkah to Yathrib leaving behind them their families, monies, homes, and lands for one thing only, which is seeking the reward from Allah.

Besides the lesson of sacrifice for the sake of Allah, we see the lesson of bravery in supporting the truth and confronting falsehood, which normally vanishes no matter how great power and strength it has.
