2 min readAlso available in العربية

Patience is a horse that does not stumble, an army that is not defeated, and a strong fortress. It is always accompanied by victory and relief. Allah has promised the patient an unlimited reward and His companionship. He made leadership in religion contingent upon patience and certainty. Patience is good for its people; through it, the schemes of enemies are thwarted, and honor, empowerment, and success are attained. Allah has declared His love for the patient and given them glad tidings of prayers from Him, mercy, and guidance. He commanded seeking help through patience and prayer and made winning Paradise and salvation from Hell the lot of the patient. The desire for His reward and turning away from the world can only be achieved by the patient. Repelling evil with good is only met by the patient. Allah mentioned that humanity is in loss except those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised one another to truth and advised one another to patience. He singled out the people of patience and gratitude to benefit from His signs and linked forgiveness and reward to patience and righteous deeds. He also stated that patience and forgiveness are among the matters of firm resolve. And Allah commanded His Messenger to be patient.

In the Sunnah of the Prophet, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever strives to be patient, Allah will make him patient. And no one has been given a gift better and more encompassing than patience." And, "No Muslim is afflicted with a misfortune and says what Allah has commanded him: 'Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return. O Allah, reward me in my calamity and replace it with something better for me,' but Allah will replace it with something better for him." And, "Wondrous is the affair of the believer, for all his affairs are good, and that is not for anyone except the believer. If prosperity befalls him, he is grateful, and that is good for him. And if adversity befalls him, he is patient, and that is good for him."
