Those who meet hardship with a strong bearing and a patient countenance are in the minority. But we must consider this, though it may seem obvious: if you or me will not be patient, then what else is there for us to do? Do you have a alternative solution? Do you know of any provision that is better than patience?
Those that achieve greatness have to surmount an ocean of difficulties and hardships before finally achieving success. Know that each time you escape a difficulty you will have to face another. Through this constant conflict, you must arm yourself with patience and a strong trust in Allah.
This is the way of the noble-minded: they face difficulties with firm resolution, and they wrestle hardship to the ground.
Therefore be patient and know that your patience is only through Allah. Have the patience of one who is confident of forthcoming ease, of one who knows that there will be a good ending, and of one who seeks reward from his Lord, hoping, that by facing difficulties, he will find expiation for his sins. Have patience, no matter what the difficulty and no matter how dark the sky or the road ahead seems. For truly, with patience comes victory, and with difficulty relief follows close behind.
Hardship fell upon their heads like the lashing of freezing rain and yet they were rewarded for their patience with success...so lets try to be patience in all the time...
