Helpful Guidelines in Enduring People’s Harm

Indeed, patience is one of the greatest status in the religion and occupies one of its loftiest classes. Allāh mentions it in numerous places throughout His Book. Imām Ahmad (may Allah have mercy upon him) said about it, “Allāh mentions patience in the Noble Qur’ān more than ninety times.”

This statement (of Imām Ahmad) shows in a clear fashion the great and prestigious status of Patience; in addition to the servants’ dire need to practice if in both performing acts of obedience and abandoning acts of disobedience; patience is also required during destined trials to avoid impatience and displeasure. The servant is in need of patience. Patience accompanies the Muslim in all of his circumstances; it is essential in performing acts of obedience, avoiding acts of disobedience, and receiving trials with what pleases Allāh.
