Strength in Islam is understood not as brute force but as the capacity to do what is right, to withstand what is difficult, and to protect what is sacred. The Prophet ﷺ said: "The strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, while there is good in both." Islamic strength is strength of character, strength of faith, and strength in the service of justice.
