What is real patience

Very Educative, don't miss reading this please!

*What is real patience?*

A fish said to the sea,
"You can never see my tears, because I am in the water."
¤
The sea answered back, "But I can feel your tears, because you are within my heart."

This is how we are;

No one will feel us except those who are truly close to our hearts.

Arwah bin al-Zubayr's leg was cut off because of a disease he suffered, on the same day the dearest of his seven sons died.
¤
The dearest son to his heart died after a horse kick killed him.

Arwah said: "Allahumma lakal hamd, Inna lilLahi wa inna Ilaihi raaji'un."
[ Ya Allah! All thanks to You, we are from Allah and to Him is our return ]

You gave me 7 sons and took one, gave me two legs & two hands but took only one leg.

When Allah (SwT) besets calamities on us, He compensates us always by forgiving our most of our transgressions.

When He takes away something, He always gives back better things.

I ask Allah (SwT) to join all true Ummah of Rasool [SAW] together in Jannah.

Days passed, on one ultimate day Arwah went to the house of the Khalifa of the time where he saw a blind old Sheikh with a damaged face.
¤
The Khalifa said:  "Oh Arwah ask this Sheikh his story".

Arwah asked the Sheik as directed.
¤
The Sheikh said, "Ya Arwah! I used to live in a valley and in that valley there was nobody richer than me ( money, property and children wise ).

Within a single night, floods from heavy rains washed away my children, properties
and everything that I ever had.
By the next day, after sunrise, I had only a small baby and a camel.

The camel ran away, and I ran after it but did not get far when I heard screams of a baby.
I turned back only to see my baby's head in the mouth of a wolf.
I tried saving the baby but the wolf had torn him apart.

As I turned to go away, the wolf jumped and hit my face, that incidence made me blind, and damaged my face.

Arwah asked the Sheikh, "What did you say after all this, Ya Sheikh? ".

The Sheikh replied: I said, "Allahumma Lakalhamd", You Graciously left with me a heart and a tongue that will always Glorify You".

This is the story of real patience;

these two people are among those who Allah (SwT) mentions thus:
ﺇﻧﻤﺎ ﻳﻮﻓﻰ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﺑﺮﻭﻥ ﺃﺟﺮﻫﻢ ﺑﻐﻴﺮ ﺣﺴﺎﺏ
( "only the patient will be paid back their rewards in full without measure" )

What kind of calamity have you encountered that made you sad and
live in misery?

Can you compare their misery to yours?
They were patient and Allah Promises to Reward them; if we are
impatient what reward do we hope to get?

Rabbana Lakalhamd Hamdan Katheeran Tayyiban Mubaarakan Feeh.

We are living with our families; we enjoy good health and well-being.
We sleep on our beds, others sleep on the floor, some sleep on garbage while many are in their graves.
¤
We eat and drink to our fill, others wake up and go to sleep in the night with empty stomachs, others are on hospital beds unable to eat or drink, they are being fed through the tube, So

" Fa bi ayyi aala'irabbiku maa tukadhiban?"

(WHICH OF THE FAVOURS OF YOUR LORD ( Allah SwT ) DO YOU DENY?)

May Allah [SwT] Reward any person who reads and shares this article.

Please endeavor to *Share* this wonderful story with all your colleagues and loved ones.

May Allah's Grace and Favours repose in us and our families always!

GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 28th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Tuesday 7th May 2024). *_GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD_*. Aameen.  Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: The Prophet (SallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "Charity is obligatory everyday on every joint of a human being.* If one helps a person in matters concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride on it or by lifting his luggage on to it, all these will be regarded as charity. A good word, and every step one takes to offer the compulsory congregational prayer is regarded as charity; and guiding somebody on the road is regarded as charity." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 4/2891]. To show gratitude to ALLAH for keeping your body safe and sound, you should give in charity or do charitable deeds. Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: ALLAH'S Messenger (sallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one w

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will p
