﷽
*Surah Aal-e-Imran, Verse 17:*
الصَّابِرِينَ وَالصَّادِقِينَ وَالْقَانِتِينَ وَالْمُنفِقِينَ وَالْمُسْتَغْفِرِينَ بِالْأَسْحَارِ
(They are) those who are patient ones, those who are true (in Faith, words, and deeds), and obedient with sincere devotion in worship to Allah. Those who spend [give the Zakat and alms in the Way of Allah] and those who pray and beg Allah's Pardon in the last hours of the night.
*COMMENTARY*
Sabr (Sābirīn) includes many shades of meaning: I have specified here, viz., patience, firmness, and self-control.
True servants of Allāh are described in Sūra Āl-'Imrān, verses 16-17. They have faith, humility, and hope (Sūra Āl-'Imrān, verse 16); and they have certain virtues (Sūra Āl-'Imrān, verse 17) viz.,
1. Patience, steadfastness, self-restraint, and all that goes under the full definition of Sabr; this shows a certain attitude of mind.
2. In all their dealings they are true and sincere as they are also in their promises and words; this marks them out in social conduct.
3. Further, their spiritual worship is earnest and deep, an inner counterpart of their outward conduct.
4. Their worship of Allāh shows itself in their love of their fellow-men, for they are ready and liberal in charity, and
5. Their self-discipline is so great that the first thing they do every morning is humbly to approach their God.
﷽
*Surah Aal-e-Imran, Verse 18:*
شَهِدَ اللَّهُ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ وَأُولُو الْعِلْمِ قَائِمًا بِالْقِسْطِ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ
Allah bears witness that La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), and the angels, and those having knowledge (also give this witness); (He is always) maintaining His creation in Justice. La ilah illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.
*COMMENTARY*
Allāh Himself speaks to us through His revelations (through angels) and through His Creation, for all Nature glorifies Allāh (Sub-haanahu wata'aala). No thinking mind, if it only judges the matter fairly, can fail to find the same witness in his own heart and conscience. All this points to the Unity of Allāh, His Exalted nature, and His wisdom.
