Allah Is With Those Who Are Patient!, By Murtadha Gusau
There is great reward only for those among us who are patient with the Decree of their Lord.
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
All praise is due to Allah the Lord of all creation. May Allah grant His praise, manifest his virtue and elevate the status of the noblest of the Prophets and the Seal of the Messengers, our beloved Prophet Muhammad, and protect him, the message of Islam, his family and all his companions from any harm in this life or the next. As for what follows:
Dear brothers and sisters! Know that, patience is to hold one’s soul from being impatient and displeased, holding the tongue from complaining and the body parts from harming itself or others. Patience is mentioned in many places in Qur’an and Sunnah of the beloved Prophet (Peace be upon him), which shows the virtues and greatness of Patience. In the Arabic language, (Sabr) Patience means to confine or contain.
Respected servants of Allah! Patience has great status in the sight of Allah Almighty and in Islam. Patience is of best of deeds actions, and has the great reward with no limit. Allah Almighty said in the Noble Qur’an:
“Only those who are patient shall receive their rewards in full, without Hisab (without limit, calculation, and estimation).” [Qur’an, 39:10]
There is great reward only for those among us who are patient with the Decree of their Lord. In this world, we face many challenges, difficulties or trials, and sufferings, but we have to be patient because Allah Almighty loves those who did patience in a difficult time.
As Islam is a complete code of life and it guides and teach us in every sphere of life. So it teaches us we have to do patience in our difficult situation in this way we have the strong belief on Almighty Allah that He will never leave us alone. In Qur’an, Allah the Most High said:
“And be Patient. Surely, Allah is with those who are patient.”
Allah said to those who are facing challenges, difficulties or trials that He is with them by guiding and supporting them and granting them a clear victory. Allah Almighty said:
“Surely, Allah is with those who are As‑Sabirun (the patient).” [Qur’an, 8:46]
From this verse of Noble Qur’an, we can say that no matter what’s the situation we are facing we should be faithful and patient, as Allah is with us, He will never leave us alone.
A person who loves Almighty Allah finds it much easier to be patient and to persevere. This is because he sees everything as coming from Allah, and if it comes from Allah, there must be a reason for it. A person who loves wants the Beloved to see him in the best of states, and so he proves the best of patience. Patience is a virtue, which enables the individual to proceed towards worthy goals.
