PATIENCE

Allah




Patience

IT IS OF THREE KINDS
    Patience in performing what Allah made obligatory -forcing oneself to perform the obligations like praying on time, fasting the month of Ramadan, attending the circles of knowledge to gain more Islamic obligatory knowledge. And other obligations even if one feels lazy to do them

    Patience in avoiding what Allah made unlawful
    -restraining oneself from committing the sins. It takes a lot of effort to stop oneself from committing the unlawful like leaving out the prayer, stealing, drinking alcohol etc... It is one's nature to lean towards laziness and easy coming pleasures, even if they are unlawful, so we need patience to avoid them

    It is obligatory upon the pubescent person to refrain from objecting to Allah and to be content with Allah's decree, and will. Subjugating oneself to Allah is among the obligations of the heart. Objecting Allah is a blasphemous act. Many people fall into blasphemy because they do not subjugate themselves to Allah. Rather they object to Him and this is Hereafter is a place for judgment and reward. For this type of patience to take place one needs not to act or talk in a way that reflects one's impatience.
