PATIENCE
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh,
Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem,

When there is a need or when there is necessity, Allah (JJ) says:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ اسْتَعِينُواْ بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلاَةِ إِنَّ اللّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ "Ya ayyuhallazina amanusta’inu bis sabri was salat, Innallaha ma'as sabirin." (Baqara:153)
"Ask for help with patience and prayer, Allah is with those who are patient."
People have no patience left now.
When they are to undertake something, they want it done immediately.
When that undertaking does not work, they are not patient, they leave it, and start something else.
Patience and persistence is the key to success.
Do not abandon patience.
Allah is with those who are patient.
This is important. It is very important for Allah to be with you.
You would not need anything else. There is nothing better than this.
Allah says to those who are patient, "I am with you."
Therefore, we need to be patient not only in times of distress but at all times.
The person who is patient is good. It is good for themselves too.
Our nation were patient.
They were taught impatience in later times.
They are not patient with anything. There is no respect left towards each other, and no manners (adab) are left.
Patience is a sign of good temperament.
Now, you are not patient, get up, and burn and destroy.
What happens then? Nothing.
There, people learned not to be patient and to ask for their rights.
You ask for your rights. Correct. That is another matter,
but who are you going to ask from? Most of the time there is nobody across.
Because the one who does this test for you or who does what he wants is Allah.
If you are patient you win, or else if you are not patient you lose.
It is this simple. This needs to be learned.
Be patient with everything. They say "The end of patience is salvation."
They said well. May Allah give everybody patience and persistence.
May people learn manners and not raise their heads to everything.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.
