Patience and Subjugating Oneself to Allah

   Allah, ta^ala, said in the Qur’an

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ اسْتَعِينُواْ بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلاَةِ إِنَّ اللّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ

 Ista^inu bis-sabri was-Salati innallaha ma^as-sabirin.

Ayah 153 of Suratul-Baqarah means: {Strengthen yourselves by patience and prayer, and know that God supports the patient people.}

 Patience is among the obligations of the heart. It is of three kinds:

1-     Patience in performing what Allah made obligatory.

2-     Patience in avoiding what Allah made unlawful.

3-     Patience with hardships and calamities.
