Say it, fear none, if you are right, even if you are weaker:

About Prophet King Solomon:
027:020 "And he took a muster of the Birds; and he said: "Why is it I see not the Hoopoe? Or is he among the absentees? "
027:021 "I will certainly punish him with a severe penalty, or execute him, unless he bring me a clear reason (for absence)"
027:022 "And he tarried not long, then said: I comprehend that which you do not comprehend and I have brought to you a sure information from Sheba."


Clearly the Hoopoe is in no position to stand against Solomon who was clearly enraged. But because he had a reason to stand, he did. He did not choose the easy way out, saying for example: "In your kingdom, your majesty, we are believers, thanks to God and to you of course. But I saw there, so and so..". He just said it... straight.

Learn to have a strong character, even from a weak bird.
