|| - Patience is an obligation/Fard - ||

Patience (Sabr) is among the obligations of the heart. It is of three (3) kinds:

1. Patience in performing the obligations:
This means forcing oneself to perform the obligations, like praying on time, fasting the month of RamaDān, attending the circles of Islamic obligatory knowledge, and other obligations, even if one feels lazy to do them.

2. Patience in avoiding what Allāh made unlawful:
This means restraining oneself from committing the sins. Preventing oneself from committing the unlawful (Harām), like leaving out the prayer, drinking alcohol, stealing, and other unlawful matters takes a lot of effort. Ones nature leans towards laziness and easy coming pleasures, even if they are unlawful.

3. Patience with hardships and calamities:
This means being patient- seeking the reward from God - with what bothers a person, such as pain, hardship, poverty, sadness, illness or other afflictions that befall people in this life. This world is a workplace and a place of calamities and tests, while the Hereafter is the place for judgment.
For the third type of patience to take place, one must not act or talk in a way that reflects ones impatience or objection to Allāh’s Will, wal^iyādhu Bil-Lāh.
