*The Happiest Woman in the World*
*(A Treasure Chest of Reminders)*
*Part 3 of 9*
*HASTE AND RECKLESSNESS ARE THE FUEL OF MISERY*
"And seek help through patience and as-salāh (the prayer)..." [Qur'an 2:45]
Patience is like a knight that can defeat foolish desires. Deliberation means being certain and not being hasty, and taking action based on rational thought and wisdom. These two characteristics can defeat anxiety; whoever is lacking in them is missing out on a lot of goodness and will suffer a great deal of anxiety. The patient person can ward off many evils, but the fool does not control his anger and lets evil increase and the causes of anxiety grow greater and take root. The person who is deliberate seldom feels regret or does something whose consequences are unknown. But the foolish and hasty person is no stranger to regret, anxiety and bad consequences. Similarly, if a person is kind to himself and others, he will be successful and will be used to being calm and will have peace of mind.
Our religion of Islam encourages us to be kind, patient and forbearing. The Messenger of Allāh (Blessings and Peace be upon him) said: "There is never any kindness in a thing but it makes beautiful, and it is never lacking in a thing without making it ugly."
"We waste our happy times for valueless things."
*{To be continued In-sha-Allāh (If Allāh Wills)...}*
*"And keep reminding, because reminding benefits the believers."* (Qur'an 51:55)
