When the Messenger of God, Muhammad (saw) - having suffered the torture and hardships of the Makkans - journeyed to the desert town of Taif in search of support, he was stoned and ridiculed by its people. After going through such hardships and torments by the people of Taif, the Prophet (saw) turned to our Lord and Creator and prayed:
To You, my Lord,
I complain of my weakness,
lack of support and the humiliation I am made to receive.
Most Compassionate and Merciful!
You are the Lord of the weak,
and you are my Lord.
To whom do You leave me?
To a distant person who receives me with hostility?
Or to an enemy You have given power over me?
As long as you are not displeased with me,
I do not care what I face.
I would, however,
be much happier with Your mercy.
I seek refuge in the light of Your face by which all darkness is
dispelled and both this life and the life to come are put in
their right course against incurring your wrath or being the
subject of your anger.
To You I submit,
until I earn Your pleasure.
Everything is powerless without your support.
