Patience & Ijtihad
Intensely practised to achieve khilafah inshallah
Power & Honour Belongs To Allah
10:65 Let not their speech grieve thee: for all power and honor belong to Allah:
it is He Who heareth and knoweth (all things).
Tried & Tested
3:186 Ye shall certainly be tried and tested in your possessions and in your
personal selves; and ye shall certainly hear much that will grieve you from
those who received the Book before you and from those who worship many gods. But
if ye persevere patiently and guard against evil then that will be a determining
factor in all affairs.
Best Course
16:126 And if ye do catch them out catch them out no worse than they catch you
out: but if ye show patience that is indeed the best (course) for those who are
patient.
127 And do thou be patient for thy patience is but from Allah; nor grieve over
them: and distress not thyself because of their plots.
128 For Allah is with those who restrain themselves and those who do good.
Firmness & Self Control
3:14 Fair in the eyes of men is the love of things they covet: women and sons;
heaped-up hoards of gold and silver; horses branded (for blood and excellence);
and (wealth of) cattle and well-tilled land. Such are the possessions of this
world's life; but in nearness to Allah is the best of the goals (to return to).
15 Say: shall I give you glad tidings of things far better than those? For the
righteous are gardens in nearness to their Lord with rivers flowing beneath;
therein is their eternal home; with companions pure (and holy) and the good
pleasure of Allah. For in Allah's sight are (all) His servants.
16 (Namely) those who say: "Our Lord! we have indeed believed: forgive us then
our sins and save us from the agony of the fire."
17 Those who show patience firmness and self-control; who are true (in word and
deed); who worship devoutly; who spend (in the way of Allah); and who pray for
forgiveness in the early hours of the morning.
18 There is no god but He: that is the witness of Allah His angels and those
endued with knowledge standing firm on justice. There is no god but He the
Exalted in Power the Wise.
19 The Religion before Allah is Islam (submission to His will): nor did the
people of the Book dissent therefrom except through envy of each other after
knowledge had come to them. But if any deny the Signs of Allah Allah is swift in
calling to account.
20 So if they dispute with thee say: "I have submitted my whole self to Allah
and so have those who follow me." And say to the people of the Book and to those
who are unlearned: "Do ye (also) submit yourselves?" If they do they are in
right guidance but if they turn back thy duty is to convey the Message; and in
Allah's sight are (all) His servants.
O Allah Make Us Not Trial For Unbelievers
60:4 There is for you an excellent example (to follow) in Abraham and those with
him when they said to their people: "We are clear of you and of whatever ye
worship besides Allah: we have rejected you and there has arisen between us and
you enmity and hatred forever unless ye believe in Allah and Him alone": But not
when Abraham said to his father: "I will pray for forgiveness for thee though I
have no power (to get) aught on thy behalf from Allah." (They prayed): "Our
Lord! in Thee do we trust and to Thee do we turn in repentance: to Thee is (our)
final Goal.
5 "Our Lord! Make us not a (test and) trial for the Unbelievers but forgive us
our Lord! For Thou art the Exalted in Might the Wise."
6 There was indeed in them an excellent example for you to follow for those
whose hope is in Allah and in the Last Day. But if any turn away truly Allah is
Free of all Wants Worthy of all Praise.
Forgive In Anger
42:37 Those who avoid the greater crimes and shameful deeds and when they are
angry even then forgive;
38 Those who hearken to their Lord and establish regular prayer; who (conduct)
their affairs by mutual Consultation; who spend out of what We bestow on them
for Sustenance;
39 And those who when an oppressive wrong is inflicted on them (are not cowed
but) help and defend themselves.
40 The recompense for an injury is an injury equal thereto (in degree): but if a
person forgives and makes reconciliation His reward is due from Allah: for
(Allah) loveth not those who do wrong.
41 But indeed if any do help and defend themselves after a wrong (done) to them
against such there is no cause of blame.
42 The blame is only against those who oppress men with wrong-doing and
insolently transgress beyond bounds through the land defying right and justice:
for such there will be a Penalty grievous.
43 But indeed if any show patience and forgive that would truly be an exercise
of courageous will and resolution in the conduct of affairs
Intensity Of Patience
Virtues and Merits of the Prophet (pbuh) and his Companions Bukhari :: Book 4 ::
Volume 56 :: Hadith 809 Narrated Khabbab bin Al-Arat: We complained to Allah's
Apostle (of the persecution inflicted on us by the infidels) while he was
sitting in the shade of the Ka'ba, leaning over his Burd (i.e. covering sheet).
We said to him, "Would you seek help for us? Would you pray to Allah for us?" He
said, "Among the nations before you a (believing) man would be put in a ditch
that was dug for him, and a saw would be put over his head and he would be cut
into two pieces; yet that (torture) would not make him give up his religion. His
body would be combed with iron combs that would remove his flesh from the bones
and nerves, yet that would not make him abandon his religion. By Allah, this
religion (i.e. Islam) will prevail till a traveler from Sana (in Yemen) to
Hadrarmaut will fear none but Allah, or a wolf as regards his sheep, but you
(people) are hasty.
Avoid Haste
17:11 The prayer that man should make for good he maketh for evil: for man is
given to hasty (deeds).
Allah Is Best To Decide
7:86 "And squat not on every road breathing threats hindering from the path of
Allah those who believe in Him and seeking in it something crooked; but remember
how ye were little and He gave you increase. And hold in your mind's eye what
was the end of those who did mischief.
87 "And if there is a party among you who believes in the message with which I
have been sent and a party which does not believe hold yourselves in patience
until Allah doth decide between us: for He is the best to decide."
57:28 O ye that believe! fear Allah and believe in His apostle and He will
bestow on you a double portion of His Mercy: He will provide for you a light by
which ye shall walk (straight in your path) and He will forgive you (your past):
For Allah is Oft-Forgiving. Most Merciful:
35:10 If any do seek for glory and power to Allah belong all glory and power. To
Him mount up (all) Words of Purity: it is He Who exalts each Deed of
Righteousness. Those that lay Plots of Evil for them is a Penalty terrible; and
the plotting of such will be void (of result).
Endures Patiently
The Book Pertaining to Piety and Softening of Hearts (Kitab
Al-Zuhd wa Al-Raqa'iq) Muslim :: Book 42 : Hadith 7138
Suhaib reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Strange are
the ways of a believer for there is good in every affair of his and this is not
the case with anyone else except in the case of a believer for if he has an
occasion to feel delight, he thanks (God), thus there is a good for him in it,
and if he gets into trouble and shows resignation (and endures it patiently),
there is a good for him in it.
Allah Knows Best
