Allah is with those who are patient

"He—may اللّٰه have mercy on him—has a work on this subject, in which he elaborated on it in about twenty different ways, but this is not the place to mention them. The purpose here is to discuss patience, its reality, its levels, and its rank. And اللّٰه is the one who grants success. §§U0007§§ Chapter: Types of Patience Patience by اللّٰه, for اللّٰه, and with اللّٰه Chapter: Types of Patience Patience is of three types: patience by اللّٰه, patience for اللّٰه, and patience with اللّٰه."

"Patience is of three types: patience by اللّٰه, patience for اللّٰه, and patience with اللّٰه. The first type is patience through seeking help from Him, recognizing that He is the one who grants patience. As اللّٰه says in the القُرْآن: "And be patient, and your patience is not but through اللّٰه." This means that if He does not grant you patience, you will not be patient."

"while the previous one pertains to description and quality. عَلِيّ بْن أَبِي طَالِب, may اللّٰه be pleased with him, said: "Patience is a mount that never stumbles." A man approached الشِّبْلِيّ and asked, "Which type of patience is the hardest for those who are patient?" الشِّبْلِيّ replied, "Patience for the sake of اللّٰه." The questioner said, "No." الشِّبْلِيّ then said, "Patience for اللّٰه." Again, the questioner said, "No." الشِّبْلِيّ continued, "Patience with اللّٰه." The questioner still said, "No." الشِّبْلِيّ asked, "Then what is it?" The man replied, "Patience away from اللّٰه." الشِّبْلِيّ let out a cry that nearly caused his soul to depart."

"Fear God in abandoning it - meaning do not abandon patience, for goodness and safety lie in patience - and the Prophet, may God's peace and blessings be upon him and his family and companions, said: "Patience is to faith as the head is to the body." And it was said: Everything has a reward in proportion, except the reward of patience, for it is boundless and immeasurable. As He, the Exalted, said: "Indeed, the patient will be given their reward" "Patience is to faith as the head is to the body," because patience is involved in every aspect, indeed in every matter of religion, so it is to faith as the head is to a person."

"loss of wealth, illness, blindness, disfigurement, and various forms of tribulation. Patience in these situations is considered one of the highest forms of patience. Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, explained that patience in the Qur'an appears in three forms: patience in performing Allah’s obligations, patience in refraining from prohibitions, and patience upon receiving calamity at the first blow."

"and nothing can resist it or stand against it. This is the patience of those with spiritual states and influence. Patience for اللّٰه is the patience of the worshippers and ascetics. Therefore, despite their sincerity, asceticism, and patience for اللّٰه, they are weaker than those who are patient through Him. Hence, it is said: The weakest form of patience is patience for اللّٰه."

"Additional interpretations state patience for God brings enrichment, patience with God entails loyalty, and patience from God is ingratitude. And it is said, "Patience away from you yields disreputable outcomes... patience in all other matters is commended." It is also said, "Patience is fitting in all situations... except from you, for it is unseemly.""

"Thus, the law of religion should be the criterion for patience. The idea that patience constitutes half of faith should not lead you to believe that all forms of patience are commendable; rather, it refers to certain specific forms of patience. The Need for Patience and the Servant's Inability to Dispense with It in Any Situation: Know that everything a servant encounters in this life is of two types: what aligns with his desires and what contradicts them, which he dislikes."

"explaining how it constitutes half of faith, and detailing the differing narrations regarding: "The faith is two halves: one half patience and the other half gratitude." The Virtue of Patience Allah, the Exalted, has described the people of patience with numerous attributes and mentioned patience in the Qur'an in over seventy places. He has linked most ranks and virtues to patience, making them its fruits."

"companionship. This connection is distinct from general awareness and encompasses proximity, support, love, victory, and success. As stated, Indeed, Allah is with those who fear Him, and Allah is with the patient, and indeed, Allah is with the doers of good. And do not be distressed, indeed, Allah is with us. Those who remember God share in this companionship. The Prophet, peace be upon him, conveyed in a divine saying, I am with my servant as long as the forty-third they remember me, and their lips move with my remembrance. In another narration, it is said, Those who remember me are the ones I sit with. Those who thank me are the ones I visit."

"God Almighty said: "O you who believe, be patient, and vie in patience, and remain steadfast, and fear God so that you may succeed." Surah Al Imran 3:200. He commanded you to be patient, O believer, then to persevere and remain steadfast, to maintain and adhere to it, then warned you against abandoning it, then said: Fear God in abandoning it - meaning do not abandon patience, for goodness and safety lie in patience - and the Prophet, may God's peace and blessings be upon him and his family and companions, said: "Patience is to faith as the head is to the body." And it was said:"

"Do not dwell on those who harm you, for if you are advancing, they are doomed, and your success suffices you. If you are retreating, then everyone harms you. Blessed is the one who knows more of the faults of his own soul than others know of them. Patience with harshness is divided into three categories: Patience with one who has power over you while you have no power over them, Patience with one over whom you have power while they have no power over you, And patience with one over whom you have no power and they have no power over you."

"When he hears of such things he says: there has always been in the course of time good and evil, ease and misery, happiness and wretchedness. And perhaps he traces it back to celestial causes and psychic forces. Patience and gratitude are a cause of their possessor's profiting from the signs because faith is built upon patience and gratitude: half of it is patience and half of it is gratitude. So according to the measure of the servant's patience and gratitude is the strength"

"The Quran reminds us of the importance of patience in the face of trials, stating, O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient. Additionally, calling for woe and destruction or expressing despair through lamentation goes against the teachings of Islam. Instead, believers are encouraged to respond to loss with patience, prayer, and supplication, seeking comfort in their faith and the remembrance of Allah."

"This special companionship is reflected in his words, Do not grieve, indeed Allah is with us, and the Prophet's statement, What do you think of two when Allah is the third? It is also in his words, And indeed Allah is with the doers of good, indeed Allah is with those who fear him and those who are doers of good. Be patient, indeed Allah is with the patient, and he said, No, indeed with me is my Lord, he will guide me."

"Chapter The Punishment of the Wailing Woman The reason for the punishment and curse upon the wailing woman is that she commands despair and forbids patience, while Allah and His Messenger have commanded patience and seeking reward. Allah the Exalted said, O you who have believed, seek help from Allah. through patience and prayer, indeed Allah is with the patient."

"many of them is one of the two forms of poverty. Abu Sulayman al-Durrani was asked about marriage and he replied, Patience in avoiding them is better than patience with them, and patience with them is better than patience with the fire. He also said, The solitary experiences the sweetness of work and the freedom of heart that the married do not."

"for intertwining is a form of pulling. When joy mixes with this longing, it is blended with a kind of personal gain. The phrase "countered by patience" means that its possessor is strong in patience, so his patience counters his longing and does not overpower it, unlike the longing in the third degree. The Third Degree: Pure Longing Chapter: The third degree is a fire kindled by the purity of love, which disrupts one's life and takes away solace, leaving no comfort except in meeting the beloved."
