This document highlights the benefits of patience. Patience is the killer of sorrows and loneliness.

1. Patience: - Killer of the sorrows and loneliness
In Islam the word “Sabar” is being used. The roots of this word give the meaning of to detain, to
stop and to refrain. This life is not the bed of roses. Here in this life we have to face many
sorrows and difficulties. We face many unpleasant experiences in this world. One failure cannot
stop man to precede more. If patience is not there the man can be tired and will be no more in the
position of retry. Worries and sadness is the part of the human life. So patience is important. In
the condition of sorrows and troubles man should remain connected with the God. When we feel
sorrow and loneliness we must turn toward the God. Quran again and again stresses on patience
as:-
“Endure with fortitude whatever befalls you.”
In Quran it is also said that:-
“O O Ye who believe! seek help in patience and prayer; verily Allah is with the
patient.”
It is a good thing to have patience at the time of hardship and trouble. Abu 'Uthman said:
"The one who has patience is the one who has trained himself to handle
difficulties."
The meaning of patience is to accept that thing which is not in our control. To show patience is a
cure of miseries, and troubles. When you show patience you surrender yourself according to the
will of Allah. This thing does not give us the meaning that we should sit in a corner and not to
move on. Its mean that God loves us more and he will not give us any harm as in Quran it is said
that:
“...and it may be that you dislike a thing that is good for you and that you like a
thing that is bad for you. God knows but you do not know.” (Quran 2:216)
This world is designed for us to prepare us for the next world which is hereafter. God loves us
more and does not give us the troubles more than our power and strength. When we face troubles
its meaning is that God is testing our strengths. In this world our happiness depends on the
patience. If we will not show patience troubles and sorrows will kill us. We are frail. Whenever
we feel the sorrows, our eyes start weeping, our heart breaks down, and we loss every hope. It is
common condition that every human being faces even the prophets face this condition. There are
a lot of verses in Quran which tell us about the Patience and its fruit. It is said in Quran that:-

2. "Seek Allah's help with patient perseverance and prayer. It is indeed hard except for those
who are humble."
At another place it is said that:-
"Oh you who believe! Seek help with patient perseverance and prayer, for God is with those
who patiently persevere."
