Patience Is Fitting

"Those who meet hardship with a strong bearing and a patient countenance are in the minority. But we must consider this, though it may seem obvious: If you or I will not be patient, then what else is there for you to do? Do you have any alternative solution? Do you know of any provision that is better than patience?

Those that achieve greatness have to surmount an ocean of difficulties and hardship before finally achieving success. Know that each time you escape a difficulty you will have to face another. Through this constant conflict, you must arm yourself with patience and a strong trust in Allah."


Don’t Be Sad by Dr ‘Aidh al-Qarni
