The best way to build patience is to fast. This is why Ramadan<\/a> is your patience training program.<\/p>\n

But What is Sabr?<\/h2>\n

Patience (sabr) is a core characteristic to the ethos of Islam. A concept that is consistently repeated in the Quran. Ramadan<\/a> is a month where we are put to the test. Ramadan is a month where we are able to practice patience at a much higher level.<\/span><\/p>\n

Patience is to endure any hardship, difficulty and trial in a way that pleases Allah <\/span>\ufdfb alone<\/span>. It is to bear any circumstance knowing that it is the divine decree of Allah for things to be as they are and only Allah \ufdfb can elevate us from those difficulties. It is to expect reward from no one other than Allah for having beared the difficulties with patience.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

Allah \ufdfb tells us in the Quran in several verses about practicing patience:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/strong>O believers! Seek comfort in patience and prayer. Allah \ufdfb is truly with those who are patient.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

2:153<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cSo endure \u02f9this denial, O\u00a0 Prophet,\u02fa with beautiful patience.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

70:5<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cO my dear son! Establish prayer, encourage what is good and forbid what is evil, and endure patiently whatever befalls you.<\/strong> Surely this is a resolve to aspire to.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

31:17<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The rewards of enduring patience in trying times is also great:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Abu Sa\u2019id and Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him)<\/span><\/p>\n

reported that the Prophet (\ufdfa) said: \u201cNever a believer is stricken with a discomfort, an illness, an anxiety, a grief or mental worry or even the pricking of a thorn but Allah will expiate his sins on account of his patience<\/strong>\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n
