The importance of patience ( صَبْرٌ‎) in Islam

The importance of patience ( صَبْرٌ‎) in Islam

Patience (صَبْرٌ)‎ is one of the most important virtues in Islam. It is mentioned many times in the "Quran-E-Pak" and the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (peace be upon him), and is considered an essential element of faith.

The importance of patience in Islam can be seen in the following ways:-

Patience is a means of earning Allah's pleasure: Allah has promised great rewards for those who are patient in the face of adversity. In the Quran, Allah says, "And be patient, for indeed, Allah does not allow to be lost the reward of those who do good" (Surah Hud, 11:115).

That patience is a way of getting the company of Allah. In the Quran, Allah says, "And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits etc. Rather give good news to those who have patience" (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:155).

In Islam, success is not measured by material wealth or status, but by spiritual and moral excellence. Patience is a key element of this excellence, and it enables a person to persevere in their efforts to achieve their goals.

Allah say in Quran Surah (Az-Zumar)

قُلْ يَعِبَادِ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمْ لِلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةٌ وَأَرْضُ اللَّهِ وَسِعَةً إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى
الصَّبِرُونَ أَجْرَهُم بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ

"In This surah highlights the necessity of trials and difficulties in life and encourages believers to have patience during those times. The reward for patience is also mentioned in the Quran, where Allah says, "Indeed, the patience will be given their reward without account" (Surah Az-Zumar, 39:10).

Patience is not just a personal virtue in Islam, but it is also a social one. Muslims are encouraged to be patient with others and to practice forbearance and forgiveness. Allah says, "And if you punish enemy, you can gives punish with an equivalent of that with which you were harmed. "But if you are patient it is better for those who are patient"

Prophet Mohammad ﷺ said :-

"whoever is patient, Allah will bestow patience upon him, and no one is ever given anything better and more generous than patience."(sahi bukhari)

         In Islam, patience is seen as a means of achieving spiritual and moral excellence, and is closely linked to the concept of gratitude. A patient person is one who is able to bear hardships and difficulties patiently and without complaint while maintaining a positive attitude and faith in Allah.

Patience is a way to avoid sin: When faced with a difficult situation, a person may be tempted to react in a negative or harmful way. However, a patient person is able to control their emotions and avoid committing sin.

 

Our creator Allah say in Quran (Quran 41:34 - Surah Fussilat)

"Good and evil cannot be equal. Respond to evil' with that which is good, then the one you are in a feud (dispute) with will become like a close friend."

"Allah say in Quran"(17-SURAH LUQMAN) "

" وَأَصْبَرَ عَلَى مَا أَصَابَكَ"

"AND BE PATIENT OVER WHAT BEFALLS YOU."

Anas Bin Malik, Radiyallahu Anhu said that, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (peace be upon him) passed by a woman who was weeping beside a grave. He told her to fear Allah and be patient. She said to him, "Go away, for you have not been afflicted with a calamity like mine." And she did not recognize him. Then she was informed that he was the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. so she went to the house of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and there she did not find any guard. Then she said to him, "I did not recognize you." He said, "Verily, the patience is at the first stroke of a calamity."

"Allah say in Quran (45-Al-Baqara)"

وَاسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَاةِ

And seek help in patience and prayer"

This is what I read when I'm upset. After reading this all my problems go away from me Alhamdulillah 

يا حي يا قيوم بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَستَغيث

Oh Living, oh Sustainer, in your mercy | plead for rescue.

(At-Tirmidhi)

Be Kind To Your Parents

And We have made some of you as a trial for others: will you have patience?

Try to do lots of worship and good deeds this month.

The holy  Ramadan is one of the most important months in the Islamic calendar(hijri). It is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and is observed by Muslims all around the world as a time of fasting, prayer, and reflection.

Here are some interesting several ways that shows the importance of Holy Ramadan in Islam:

Fasting (ROZA): During Ramzan, Muslims fast from dawn until dusk, refraining from food, drink, and other physical needs. This act of self-discipline helps to increase their spiritual awareness and helps them to empathize with the less fortunate who may be without food or water.

Increased spirituality: Ramzan is considered a time for increased spirituality, and Muslims often engage in extra prayers and recitation of the Quran. This can help to strengthen their faith and increase their connection with ALLAH.

Community spirit: Ramzan is a time when Muslims come together as a community to break their fasts and keep their fast, pray together, and engage in charitable activities. This strengthens the bonds between individuals and promotes a sense of unity and brotherhood.

Forgiveness and mercy: Ramzan is also a time for forgiveness and mercy. Muslims are encouraged to seek forgiveness for their sins and to show mercy to each others. This helps to promote a sense of compassion and forgiveness, which can lead to greater harmony and understanding among people.

The Holy Quraan completed in this month:

The month of Ramadan is that in which the Quran was sent down as a guidance for mankind...

The Holy Quran 2:186

The Night of Decree or The Night of Power (Laylat-al-Qadr ) is in this month, which is better than a thousand months.

In Ramadan month, the gates of Eden (JANNAT) are opened, gates of Hell are closed and the devils are chained up.

Some Muslim's observe I’tikaaf (residing in the mosque for worship and women residing in separate room or separate place for worship) in the Ramadan specially in the last 10 days of Ramadan's month. I'tikaaf means is staying.

How to perform I'tikaaf?

Distance yourself from worldly distractions that divert your heart away from everything except Allah,Drown yourself the entire time in worship, and glorifying Him night and day without tiring.

When we perform i'tikaf with sincerity, it is among the most virtuous of deeds, so much so, that even when you are asleep, you are considered to be in a state of worship.

"Hazrat Aisha Radi Allahu Anhu Narrated that:-

Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said : used to practice I'tikaf in the last ten nights of Ramadan and used to say, “Look for the Night of Qadr in the last ten nights of the month of Ramadan."
[Sahih al-Bukhari Book-32 Hadith-7]

"The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said from Umm Ma’qil: “Umrah during Ramadan is equal to Hajj."
[Jami` at-Tirmidhi Book-9 Hadith-132]

In short, Ramzan is an important month in the life of a Muslim as it provides an opportunity for spiritual growth, community building, and acts of charity forgiveness and kindness. It helps Muslims to develop a greater sense of discipline, empathy, and compassion, which can benefit them and society as a whole.

Women's right in Islam

Women's rights in Islam.

 Women are considered equal to men in terms of their human dignity and value. The Quran and the Hadith (the sayings and actions of Prophet Muhammad  ﷺ ) provide guidance on women's rights and their position in society. In Islam a woman is a completely independent personality.  

In Islam there is absolutely no difference between men and women as far as their relationship to Allah is concerned, as both are promised the same reward for good conduct and the same punishment for evil conduct. 

"The Qur'an says:

And for women are rights over men similar to those of men over women."(2:226)

Here are some of the rights granted to women in Islam:

1. The right of education:- Islam places great emphasis on seeking knowledge, and this applies equally to men and women.

2. The right to own property:- Women are entitled to own and dispose of their own property.

3. The right to work:- Women have the right to work and earn their own income.

4. The right to choose their own spouse:- Women have the right to choose their own husband and to consent to marriage.

5. The right to divorce:-  Women have the right to initiate a divorce under certain circumstances, such as if their husband is abusive.

6. The right to inherit:- Women are entitled to inherit from their parents, husband, and other relatives.

7. The right to protection:- Islam provides women with the right to be protected from harm and abuse, including physical, emotional, and other.

Islam grants women many rights in the home and in society. Among them are the right to earn money, to financial support, to own property, to an education, to an inheritance, to being treated kindly, to vote, to a bridal gift, to keep their maiden name, to worship in a mosque.

The Prophet Muhammad  ﷺ said:

"Indeed, women's rights upon you,

are that you treat them kindly! [ Tirmidhi, Book.44, No.3087]

The issue of women's rights in Islam is complex and has been the subject of much debate and discussion both within and outside the Islamic community. While some argue that Islam is inherently patriarchal and oppressive to women, others argue that Islam actually provides many protections and rights to women that are often overlooked or misunderstood.

status of muslim women in islam by hadees And Quran:-

"When she's a daughter, she opens a door heaven for his father.

"When she is a wife, she fulfills half of the deen of her husband.

"When she is a mother, there is a paradise under her feet.

Islam teaches that men and women are equal in the eyes of ALLAH, and that both are responsible for their own actions and accountable to ALLAH for their deeds. However, there are differences in the roles and responsibilities assigned to men and women, which reflect the natural differences between the sexes and are intended to ensure social harmony and stability.

"وَلَا تَسُبُّوا الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ فَيَسُبُوا اللَّهَ عَدُوا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ

with about knowledge  do not insult those they invoke other than Allah lest they insult Allah in enmity"

MONOTHEISM

Surrender to the Allah

 

In Islam moral and spiritual sense is beauty..

Monotheism is also known as TAWHEED And refers to the uniqueness and supremacy of  God.

In Islam the belief in one God, known as "TAWEED," is the central tenet of the religion. The concept of TAWHEED is derived from the Arabic word (Wahid) which means "one."

Allah is the only true God, ALLAH created the universe and everything in it. Allah is considered to be all-powerful, all-knowing, and perfectly merciful. We believe that Allah is the source of all guidance, and that the purpose of human existence is to worship and obey Him.
