Be Patient and Paradise will be Yours

After Eemaan (faith), the most honorable trait with which man could be endowed is patience. It is the best course of action in all situations. It is a cause for Allaah's mercy and helps. It is a source of spiritual joy. The final victory in both matters of the world and Hereafter is only earned by patience and the good end beings only to the patient ones. Our trials in this world are numerous and varied. Sometimes, they come as difficulties and some other times in forms of ease. Situations that life turns on us sometimes could stretch our will and faith to the extreme. In all situations, patience and Eemaan remain our most valued companions for the Prophet (S) said: "Whoever remains patient, Allaah will make him patient. Nobody can be given a blessing better and greater than patience."
