Doctor Zakir, since, Ramadan
is the month of that trains your mind
towards patients,
Could you tell the viewers about the significance
of patience?
As far as the word patience is concerned,
that is sabr, It's mentioned in the Quran
102 times, and it is one of the
most important virtues in Islam.
And through patience, you can come close with
Allah
And the Quran says in several places that
Allah is those who are patient.
Allah says in Suri Baqarah chapter number 2
verse 45
that seek Allah's help with patience, perseverance, and
prayer.
And it is indeed hard except for those
who are humble.
Allah says in Suri Baqarah chapter number 2,
verse number 153.
That, oh, you believe,
seek Allah's help with patience, perseverance,
and prayer. For verily,
Allah is with those who patiently persevere.
Allah repeats a similar message in Surah Baqarah
chapter number 2, verse number 155
to verse number 157,
that
surely we will test you with something of
fear and hunger,
with loss
of goods and lives
and fruits
of toils,
and
those are successful,
those who patiently persevere.
And the verse continues,
and
when struck with the calamity,
they say,
that from him we come and to him
we return. From Allah
we come and to him is our return.
The Allah talks about patience, about perseverance.
Allah says in the Quran in Surah Al
Imran, chapter number 3, verse number 200. That
all you believe,
persevere in patience
and constancy
and strengthen each other so that we may
prosper.
Allah says in the Quran in Surihud chapter
number 11 verse number 150.
And be steadfast
in patience,
for verily, Allah will not suffer
the reward of those who are righteous.
Allah repeats the message in Surah Nihal, chapter
number 16, verse number 27.
That, be patient. For very little patience is
from Allah.
And one of the criteria
to go to Jannah
is sabr. That's patience. Allah says in the
Quran, in Suri Al Asr, chapter number 103
was in 1 to 3.
Indeed,
mankind is in a state of loss, except
those who have faith,
those who have righteous deeds, those who exalt
people to truth, and those who exalt people
to patient and perseverance.
So one of the criteria I go to
Jannah
is that you should have sabr.
The minimum full kite that you go to
Jannah, iman, righteous deeds, exoning people to truth,
exoning people to patient proceedings. If any one
of them is missing under normal circumstances, you
shall not go to Jannah.
Because Allah says
that patience is a requirement. If Allah wants
to forgive you, it's a different question. As
Allah says in Surin Nisa chapter 4 was
48. And Surin Nisa chapter 4 was 116.
If Allah pleases,
he may forgive any sin. But the sin
of Sheikh, he'll not forgive. But under normal
circumstances, if any one of these 4 criteria
are missing, you should not have the Jannah.
And one of them is Sabar.
And
in the Quran, in Surah Sharah chapter 94,
verse 56,
says,
After every difficulty,
there is reward. After every difficulty, there is
success. That means, hard times are there, but
Insha'Allah, in the end, there is success. So
we have to be on the straight path,
we have to do sabr,
and
the translation of sabr as I mentioned, it
is patience,
it
leads
to self restraint.
And sabar also means
constancy.
It means forbearance.
It means endurance.
It means perseverance. There are various different shades.
And if a person
is patient,
then it gets in success. A person who's
impatient, he gets irritated,
he gets angry,
he is very short-tempered,
he may fire some of his staff, he
may lose his school,
he may behave badly with other people. So
impatiently
is very wrong.
Think what you can do, you cannot do
because of impatience.
And if a person
is calm and
sober, he can think properly and success
is more closer to him. An impatient person,
he gets violent, he gets irritated, he gets
frustrated,
and the thing which he can do cannot
be done. Now the patience converts a thing
which I can't do into a thing which
I can do.
And patience is very important for success in
this world as well as the
