لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا

forthesakeofallah:

“Allaah does not charge a soul with more than it can bear…” [2:286]

When something bad happens to you

or things don’t go your way

or if you’re disappointed by something,

don’t complain.

Not to people, not to yourself.

Instead, pray to Allaah to ease things

Make tons of duaa.

Be thankful for the things that are going right.

If you have to complain, complain to Allaah swt and Him alone.

Endure the hardships with acceptance and trust in Allaah swt. You’re more likely to recieve better results.

Pray, don’t complain, turn to Him before anyone, accept things as they are.

Now that is true patience.

لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا

“Allaah does not charge a soul with more than it can bear…” [2:286]

Everything happens for a reason.

You just have to be patient as Allaah unfolds His Plans.

And be patient, for indeed, Allah does not allow to be lost the reward of those who do good. [11:115]

Meaning of Patience

The word sabr (in the Arabic language) is from sabara – to be patient and to persevere, and it indicates to holding back and restraining oneself. (In the Shaee’ah sense) it implies: restraining the soul from being agitated; restraining the tongue from complaining and restraining the hands from slapping the cheeks, tearing the clothes and doing other similar actions. [Madaarijus-Saalikeen (2/156) of Ibnul-Qayyim]

And know that sabr (patient perseverance) is of three kinds:

[i] sabr whilst (fulfilling) the orders of Allaah,

[ii] sabr whilst (abandoning and keeping away) from the prohibitions of Allaah, and

[iii] sabr with the Decree of Allaah with respect to afflictions and difficulties.

Virtues of Patience

Imaam Ahmad (d.241H) said, “Allaah has mentioned sabr (patient perseverance) in over ninety places in His Book.” [Related by Ibnul-Qayyim in Madaarijus-Saalikeen (2/152)]

And there occurs in the authentic hadeeth, “Sabr (patient perseverance) is light.” [Muslim]

The Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) also said, “No one has been given anything more excellent and more comprehensive than sabr.” [Bukhari]

‘Umar – radiyallaahu ‘anhu – said, “We considered the best part of our lives to be that in which there was sabr.” [Bukhari]

‘Alee – radiyallaahu ‘anhu – said, “Indeed sabr is from eemaan (faith). Its position is like that of the head with respect to the rest of the body.” Then he raised his voice and said, “Verily, there is no eemaan (faith) for the one who has no sabr.” [Related by al-Laalikaa’ee in Sharh Usool I’tiqaad Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah (no. 1659)]

“O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient.” [2:153]

nonchalante:

If you want to increase your Eeman, increase your patience and be grateful for what you have. Contemplate upon your blessings & place your trust in Allaah while being patient. There is no Eeman without patience. There is no patience without Eman, there is no gratitude without Eeman, there is no Sabr without gratitude, there is no gratitude without Sabr. They all interconnect.
