Miqdar says that in the Prophet’s day, there used to be people for and against Islam living in one house. A Muslim would see his father, son and brother following the ways of idolatry. This caused great distress. The faith which God had put in a person’s heart made him sure that if others remain in their present state, they will perish and enter hell fire. For this reason Muslims derived no joy from seeing these non-Muslim relatives. It was about such Muslims that God revealed this verse of the Quran: “Lord, give us joy in our wives and children and make us examples for those who fear you.”
