Doctor Zakir, since, Ramadan

00:00:04--> 00:00:06

is the month of that trains your mind

00:00:06--> 00:00:07

towards patients,

00:00:08--> 00:00:10

Could you tell the viewers about the significance

00:00:11--> 00:00:12

of patience?

00:00:13--> 00:00:16

As far as the word patience is concerned,

00:00:16--> 00:00:18

that is sabr, It's mentioned in the Quran

00:00:18--> 00:00:20

102 times, and it is one of the

00:00:20--> 00:00:23

most important virtues in Islam.

00:00:23--> 00:00:25

And through patience, you can come close with

00:00:25--> 00:00:26

Allah

00:00:27--> 00:00:29

And the Quran says in several places that

00:00:29--> 00:00:30

Allah is those who are patient.

00:00:30--> 00:00:32

Allah says in Suri Baqarah chapter number 2

00:00:32--> 00:00:33

verse 45

00:00:34--> 00:00:37

that seek Allah's help with patience, perseverance, and

00:00:37--> 00:00:37

prayer.

00:00:38--> 00:00:40

And it is indeed hard except for those

00:00:40--> 00:00:41

who are humble.

00:00:42--> 00:00:43

Allah says in Suri Baqarah chapter number 2,

00:00:43--> 00:00:45

verse number 153.

00:00:51--> 00:00:52

That, oh, you believe,

00:00:54--> 00:00:56

seek Allah's help with patience, perseverance,

00:00:57--> 00:00:59

and prayer. For verily,

00:00:59--> 00:01:02

Allah is with those who patiently persevere.

00:01:03--> 00:01:05

Allah repeats a similar message in Surah Baqarah

00:01:05--> 00:01:07

chapter number 2, verse number 155

00:01:08--> 00:01:08

to verse number 157,

00:01:09--> 00:01:10

that

00:01:11--> 00:01:14

surely we will test you with something of

00:01:14--> 00:01:15

fear and hunger,

00:01:16--> 00:01:17

with loss

00:01:17--> 00:01:19

of goods and lives

00:01:20--> 00:01:20

and fruits

00:01:21--> 00:01:22

of toils,

00:01:23--> 00:01:23

and

00:01:24--> 00:01:25

those are successful,

00:01:25--> 00:01:27

those who patiently persevere.

00:01:27--> 00:01:28

And the verse continues,

00:01:29--> 00:01:30

and

00:01:30--> 00:01:32

when struck with the calamity,

00:01:33--> 00:01:34

they say,

00:01:37--> 00:01:38

that from him we come and to him

00:01:38--> 00:01:39

we return. From Allah

00:01:40--> 00:01:42

we come and to him is our return.

00:01:43--> 00:01:45

The Allah talks about patience, about perseverance.

00:01:46--> 00:01:48

Allah says in the Quran in Surah Al

00:01:48--> 00:01:50

Imran, chapter number 3, verse number 200. That

00:01:50--> 00:01:51

all you believe,

00:01:52--> 00:01:53

persevere in patience

00:01:54--> 00:01:54

and constancy

00:01:56--> 00:01:58

and strengthen each other so that we may

00:01:58--> 00:01:59

prosper.

00:01:59--> 00:02:01

Allah says in the Quran in Surihud chapter

00:02:01--> 00:02:03

number 11 verse number 150.

00:02:04--> 00:02:05

And be steadfast

00:02:05--> 00:02:06

in patience,

00:02:07--> 00:02:10

for verily, Allah will not suffer

00:02:10--> 00:02:12

the reward of those who are righteous.

00:02:12--> 00:02:15

Allah repeats the message in Surah Nihal, chapter

00:02:15--> 00:02:16

number 16, verse number 27.

00:02:17--> 00:02:19

That, be patient. For very little patience is

00:02:19--> 00:02:20

from Allah.

00:02:21--> 00:02:22

And one of the criteria

00:02:23--> 00:02:23

to go to Jannah

00:02:24--> 00:02:27

is sabr. That's patience. Allah says in the

00:02:27--> 00:02:29

Quran, in Suri Al Asr, chapter number 103

00:02:30--> 00:02:31

was in 1 to 3.

00:02:38--> 00:02:39

Indeed,

00:02:39--> 00:02:41

mankind is in a state of loss, except

00:02:42--> 00:02:42

those who have faith,

00:02:43--> 00:02:45

those who have righteous deeds, those who exalt

00:02:45--> 00:02:47

people to truth, and those who exalt people

00:02:47--> 00:02:48

to patient and perseverance.

00:02:48--> 00:02:49

So one of the criteria I go to

00:02:49--> 00:02:50

Jannah

00:02:51--> 00:02:53

is that you should have sabr.

00:02:53--> 00:02:55

The minimum full kite that you go to

00:02:55--> 00:02:58

Jannah, iman, righteous deeds, exoning people to truth,

00:02:58--> 00:03:00

exoning people to patient proceedings. If any one

00:03:00--> 00:03:02

of them is missing under normal circumstances, you

00:03:02--> 00:03:04

shall not go to Jannah.

00:03:04--> 00:03:05

Because Allah says

00:03:06--> 00:03:08

that patience is a requirement. If Allah wants

00:03:08--> 00:03:10

to forgive you, it's a different question. As

00:03:10--> 00:03:11

Allah says in Surin Nisa chapter 4 was

00:03:11--> 00:03:14

48. And Surin Nisa chapter 4 was 116.

00:03:14--> 00:03:15

If Allah pleases,

00:03:16--> 00:03:17

he may forgive any sin. But the sin

00:03:17--> 00:03:19

of Sheikh, he'll not forgive. But under normal

00:03:19--> 00:03:22

circumstances, if any one of these 4 criteria

00:03:22--> 00:03:23

are missing, you should not have the Jannah.

00:03:24--> 00:03:25

And one of them is Sabar.

00:03:27--> 00:03:27

And

00:03:28--> 00:03:30

in the Quran, in Surah Sharah chapter 94,

00:03:31--> 00:03:31

verse 56,

00:03:33--> 00:03:33

says,

00:03:37--> 00:03:38

After every difficulty,

00:03:39--> 00:03:42

there is reward. After every difficulty, there is

00:03:42--> 00:03:45

success. That means, hard times are there, but

00:03:45--> 00:03:48

Insha'Allah, in the end, there is success. So

00:03:48--> 00:03:49

we have to be on the straight path,

00:03:49--> 00:03:50

we have to do sabr,

00:03:51--> 00:03:51

and

00:03:52--> 00:03:54

the translation of sabr as I mentioned, it

00:03:54--> 00:03:55

is patience,

00:03:55--> 00:03:56

it

00:03:56--> 00:03:57

leads

00:03:58--> 00:03:59

to self restraint.

00:04:00--> 00:04:02

And sabar also means

00:04:03--> 00:04:03

constancy.

00:04:05--> 00:04:06

It means forbearance.

00:04:07--> 00:04:08

It means endurance.

00:04:09--> 00:04:12

It means perseverance. There are various different shades.

00:04:12--> 00:04:13

And if a person

00:04:13--> 00:04:14

is patient,

00:04:15--> 00:04:17

then it gets in success. A person who's

00:04:17--> 00:04:19

impatient, he gets irritated,

00:04:19--> 00:04:21

he gets angry,

00:04:21--> 00:04:23

he is very short-tempered,

00:04:23--> 00:04:26

he may fire some of his staff, he

00:04:26--> 00:04:27

may lose his school,

00:04:28--> 00:04:30

he may behave badly with other people. So

00:04:30--> 00:04:31

impatiently

00:04:31--> 00:04:32

is very wrong.

00:04:33--> 00:04:35

Think what you can do, you cannot do

00:04:35--> 00:04:35

because of impatience.

00:04:36--> 00:04:37

And if a person

00:04:37--> 00:04:39

is calm and

00:04:39--> 00:04:41

sober, he can think properly and success

00:04:42--> 00:04:45

is more closer to him. An impatient person,

00:04:45--> 00:04:47

he gets violent, he gets irritated, he gets

00:04:47--> 00:04:47

frustrated,

00:04:48--> 00:04:49

and the thing which he can do cannot

00:04:49--> 00:04:52

be done. Now the patience converts a thing

00:04:52--> 00:04:53

which I can't do into a thing which

00:04:53--> 00:04:54

I can do.

00:04:55--> 00:04:57

this world as well as the

00:04:55--> 00:04:57

this world as well as the
