PATIENCE

Be patient my brothers and sisters.. what awaits is better than this world and what is in it.

“Surely, Allaah is with those who are As‑Saabiroon (the patient)”

[al-Anfaal 6:46] 

‘Umar ibn ‘Abd al-‘Azeez (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: Allaah has not bestowed any blessing upon His slaves then taken it away and replaced it with patience, but what He has compensated them with is better than what He has taken away.

“And Allaah loves As-Saabiroon (the patient)”

[Aal ‘Imraan 3:146] 

Allaah has given glad tidings of three things to those who are patient, each of which is better than that for which the people of this world envy one another. Allaah subhanahu wa ta'ala says:

“but give glad tidings to As‑ Saabiroon (the patient).

156. Who, when afflicted with calamity, say: ‘Truly, to Allaah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return.’

157. They are those on whom are the Salawaat (i.e. who are blessed and will be forgiven) from their Lord, and (they are those who) receive His Mercy, and it is they who are the guided ones”

[al-Baqarah 2:155-157]
