Glossary Entry

Sabr

صبر
Definition

Patient endurance — the quality Ismail himself promised when he told his father 'You will find me, if Allah wills, among the patient.' His patience was not passive but an active, conscious choice to submit to the most terrifying trial a young person could face.

As understood in the classical tradition of Ibn Kathir and the scholars of his school.
