Patience

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Often do we feel distraught with the tribulations sent to us, giving up when overcoming an ordeal, or as if those trials bring you on your knees.

Be patient, brothers and sisters.

Keep in mind that Allah made everything happen for a reason.

Trials, ordeals and tribulations are indeed His blessings in disguise, to put our imaan and patience to a test.

ALLAH said :

And how do we overcome the afflictions?
1. By performing salah. Keep praying for strength.
2. By keeping ourselves in state of patience.

There are three types of patience, according to tafsir Ibn Kathir (excerpted) ;
1. Be patient in abstaining yourself from doing forbidden things
2. Be patient in obedience to Allah and your journey on bringing yourself closer to Him
3. Be patient on enduring tribulations (and this includes everyday problems that are inevitable to all of us)

This is indeed a piece of advice for myself, and for us, that Allah has promised for those who remain patient.

Thank you for your patience on reading this post, may this benefit us and the reward is promised,
In Syaa Allah 🌸


May this little scrap of knowledge benefit us, and with that I bid you a farewell.
