💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Three types of patience are required to succeed in life:
Patience in serving Allah and doing what He likes,
Patience in avoiding sins and leaving vile desires,
And patience when trials fall, during challenging times.
~•~
Be patient for Allah in obeying His Commands,
Patient when praying, patient when reading the Qur'an,
When saying Du'a and Adhkaar whenever you can,
In Da'wah, and when teaching others about Islam.
~•~
Be patient wearing hijaab/niqaab and modest clothes,
Patient in studying Islam and Arabic words,
When you greet with the Salaam only to get ignored,
And when you advise Muslims just to receive insults.
~•~
Be patient in shunning what Allah has forbidden,
From gossiping and lying to music addiction,
From ribaa/interest to stealing and deceiving,
And doing good deeds for riyaa or recognition.
~•~
Be patient as well in fleeing the paths to zina,
In fighting the urge to expose yourself to fitna.
Patiently forget those who distance you from Allah
And substitute temptation with longing for Jannah.
~•~
Be patient when tests befall one after another,
When Allah wants to check if you truly know Sabr.
Be patient when hurt, when affairs are not in order,
When disappointed by loved ones and mocked by haters.
~•~
Be patient when you encounter financial crisis,
When someone's joys or blessings make you somewhat jealous,
When days go by too quickly and you increase in stress,
And when thinking of earth's current state makes you upset.
~•~
To be patient doesn't mean pretending you're alright
And forcing a fake smile while you feel bad from inside,
But true patience inspires you to have hope day and night,
Trusting in Allah's Power to help and make things right.
~•~
Be patient. It takes time for seeds to grow into trees,
And for dawn to appear when evening thunderstorms cease.
Be patient; Allah loves us. After hardship comes ease.
Await Jannah's entry when we're cleansed of our misdeeds.

📖 Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, which of the people are most severely tested?” The Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "They are the prophets, then the next best (in terms of righteousness), then the next best. A man is put to trial according to his Deen/religion. If he is firm in his religion, his trials will be more severe. If he is weak in his religion, he is put to trial according to his strength in religion. The servant will continue to be put to trial until he is left walking upon the earth without any sin."

📖 Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Some people from the Ansaar asked the Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam and he gave them. Then they asked for charity again and he SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam gave them. Then they asked again and he SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam gave them until all that he had was gone. The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "If I had anything, I would not withhold it. Whoever refrains from asking others, then Allah will make him content. Whoever would be independent, then Allah will make him independent. Whoever would be patient, then Allah will make him patient. There is no gift that is better and more comprehensive than patience."
