Dear Islamic sisters! Today we are becoming very distant from patience. Perhaps this is why a number of people are suffering from depression. It is due to leaving patience that a dangerous illness such as blood pressure is rapidly increasing in our society. Due to being distant from patience, some very angry and emotional people end up committing suicide owing to the depression caused by domestic quarrels, poverty, debts, illnesses, calamities, obstacles in marriage and failure in exams etc. One great way of saving oneself from suicide and many other sins is to adopt patience. Let’s listen to two blessed sayings of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم to increase the passion to be patient and to save ourselves from sins:
1. He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: Allah Almighty says: When I take a beloved worldly thing from a believing bondsman and then he is patient, his reward is nothing but paradise. (Bukhari, vol. 4, pp. 225, Hadees 6424)
2. He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: Whoever showed patience upon a calamity to the extent that he returned it (calamity) with good patience, Allah Almighty will write 300 ranks for him and between each rank is the distance of the heavens and the earth. (Jami Sagheer, pp. 317,Hadees 5137)
