patience

patience or being patient is very subjective.

some say, he's patient because he has the willing to wait.

some say, she's patient because she can bear the burdens on her own.

some say, they're patient because they are strong at heart to go through the tests in their life.

the list may goes down...

i found one of the meaning is that patience is when we're not telling others about things that we feel it like testing our patience. ^.^

i've googled 'sabar' and 'patience in Qur'an'. here are some of my findings... :)

----------------------

introduction of The Importance of Patience in the Qur'an by Harun Yahya
....how Allah may test people so that they can acquire a more perfect patience, and the great return Allah promises to those who exhibit great patience.

Examples of how the Prophets showed patience in every area until the end of their lives will be presented in the hope that people will "be steadfast for our Lord" until the end of their own lives. (Surat al-Muddaththir, 7)

Six Benefits of Patience from the Qur'an
Imam Ahmad rahimahullah said, “Allah has mentioned patience in the Qur’an in 90 places.”

Patience in the Qur’an: Six Benefits

1. Instruction: Patience is enjoyed upon the Believers.

وَاصْبِرْ وَمَا صَبْرُكَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ

And endure patiently, your patience is not but from Allah. (16:127)

وَاصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ فَإِنَّكَ بِأَعْيُنِنَا

So wait patiently for the Decision of your Lord, for verily, you are under Our Eyes. (52:48)

2. That which is opposite to patience is forbidden

فَاصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تَكُن كَصَاحِبِ الْحُوتِ إِذْ نَادَىٰ وَهُوَ مَكْظُومٌ

So wait with patience for the Decision of your Lord, and be not like the Companion of the Fish – when he cried out (to Us) while he was in deep sorrow. (68:48)

3. Patience is made a condition of success and prosperity

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اصْبِرُوا وَصَابِرُوا وَرَابِطُوا وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

O you who believe! Endure and be more patient, and guard your territory by stationing army units permanently at the places from where the enemy can attack you, and fear Allah, so that you may be successful. (3:200)

4. The reward of those who exercise patience is doubled

أُولَـٰئِكَ يُؤْتَوْنَ أَجْرَهُم مَّرَّتَيْنِ بِمَا صَبَرُوا وَيَدْرَءُونَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ السَّيِّئَةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ

These will be given their reward twice over, because they are patient, and repel evil with good, and spend out of what We have provided them. (28:54)

إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى الصَّابِرُونَ أَجْرَهُم بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ

Only those who are patient shall receive their reward in full, without reckoning. (39:10)

Sulayman ibn Qasim said, “the reward of every deed is known, except for the reward of patience which will be like heavy rain.”

5. Patience and emaan are pre-requisites for leadership in religion

وَجَعَلْنَا مِنْهُمْ أَئِمَّةً يَهْدُونَ بِأَمْرِنَا لَمَّا صَبَرُوا ۖ وَكَانُوا بِآيَاتِنَا يُوقِنُونَ

And We made from among them (Children of Israel), leaders, giving guidance under Our Command, when they were patient and used to believe with certainty in Our Ayat. (32:24)

6. Patience is the way to earn the Companionship of Allah

وَاصْبِرُوا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ

And be patient. Surely, Allah is with those who are patient. (8:46)

pictures that caught my sight.






i actually don't like so much to copy and paste others' articles to this blog. but this time, i feel like doing it. ^.^

beneficial.

beneficial. sounds like facial, uh?

i've finished two books bought at KLIBF; Baju Melayu Hijau Serindit and Maaf, Saya Bukan Bibik!
both of the books are enough to make me to revise myself.
thus, both of the books are good for me to be read of. yeah.
they made me check myself.
the authors are lucky to have me as their reader, yeah. i hope they'll be grant for what i felt and feel reading their pieces. amin.

targets for my return, again again again again and again are not accomplished.
somehow, i'll try my best to have my 'dream' tomorrow.

am happy to see people around me change to someway or something better for good in a way that will and can bring them to ALLAH's blessings.

and i do touched seeing some of them seems like making a move like a u-turn at a traffic jammed.

what do you think real love is about?

i bet we know about the hadith that promises the shade of Allah for people who love each other fisabilillah.

we should know about one verse in the Qur'an;
67. Friends on that day will be foes, one to another,- except the Righteous. (43, az-zukhruf)

i pray that people that i know won't be foes to another and i when we're on the Judgement day. for me that i have faith in the Judgement will be here someday, i do want good things only. even in a story we want a happy ending, and so do we for our life right? nevertheless, i also have things undone on my side. forgive me, all.

8. "Our Lord!" (they say), "Let not our hearts deviate now after Thou hast guided us, but grant us mercy from Thine own Presence; for Thou art the Grantor of bounties without measure. (3, Al 'Imran)

i really like Jalanku Pulang by UNIC. especially the tone at this (last of the song) part;
ku bersyukur hanya padaMu Tuhan
Kau tunjukkan laluanku pulang
dan cintaMu bagai air di tandus sahara
buatku melepaskan dahaga
takku temu dimanakah hentinya
rayuan taubatku padaMu
