BE PATIENT:
Part of being Muslim is that you gotta be patient, it's necessity of life. We are going to be tested and for that patience is required. But where do we seek patient from?
The first place we seek patient from our spirituality , is our connection with our lord. And that was the way of the Prophets. When the prophets were struck with a calamity when they went through hardship and they need to be patient and they new they had to be patient in this moment who do they turn to? they turn to ALLAH SWT . And this is why if you read Quran ALLAH SWT telling us to be patient , know that what is meant here is that, be patient by asking ALLAH SWT to make you patient and thats why we know the story of YAQUB AS .When he going to hardship in his losing two of his beloved children, what did he do? He said "I only and only turn to ALLAH . I complain to ALLAH with my grief and my sorrow ".That is the way of prophets.That is the way of prophet MUHAMMAD SA . There is a famous story of IBN ABBAS (RA) and this story he's on a journey . He's away from home. He has with his some companions of his and a messenger comes and whispers somethings into his ear and IBN ABBAS (RA) he listens to what he has to say then he immediately he turns around , he faces the Qibla and he prays 2 rakahs of prayer and now his companions his friends they're trying to figure out like whats going on here, what happened and they asked messenger, what news did you bring IBN ABBAS? and he said I brought him the news of his son death .IBN ABBAS he finishes praying 2 rakahs of prayer and his companions say to him , his friends say to him, why did you do that? we didn't even see the expression of your face change,we didn't see you upset , we didn't see any reaction from you , just saw you immediately turn around and pray 2 rakahs of prayers and IBN ABBAS (RA) he replied to them "haven't you heard ALLAH SWT tell us "those who believe seek help in patient and prayer . ALLAH is with those who are patient "" that was the understand and believe in ALLAH SWT .That was the education that the prophet SA gave to the companions . You can have the best friend in the world, the best person who knows you the best ,you can go to talk your soulmate, you can go talk to the therapist, talk whatever you want. But compared to ALLAH SWT its means nothing! Because the comfort that ALLAH SWT can brings us those time those moments is unparalleled!
So be patient and turn back to ALLAH SWT
