SABR – (PATIENCE)



   And Give Glad Tidings
   to the Patient Ones…
The Quran Tells Us…

O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is
                            with the patient. (2:153)


    • This shows that sabr is as important as
      salaah
    • Just like we cannot EVER leave salaah, no
      matter what, we also cannot EVER leave
      sabr, no matter what!
But How?!
How can I be patient
       always?
  It’s so difficult!
What is Sabr?



  Literally:
 To stop, or
  stay back
What is Sabr? (Dictionary Meaning)


• To stop yourself from negative reactions
  at things you dislike
• To hold yourself back from something
  you love
• Bravery
• Not complaining of difficulties
Other Aspects of Sabr

• Using logic instead of emotions to think
  through a situation
• Rising above personal discomfort or
  preferences to finish a good deed that you
  started
• To keep emotions in check even in
  happiness
Other Aspects of Sabr

• Removing undesirable
  qualities, weaknesses, and negative
  emotions from yourself
• Requires minute analysis for weaknesses
  like jealousy and envy on very, very small
  scales
Patience at First Stroke of Calamity




• For any calamity that strikes you, small or
  big, remember that angels have their pens
  poised, ready to write your first reaction.
• What will they record for you???
What Sabr is Not




  Cowardice!
What is Allowed?

                        grief so much so
 polite, kind manner
                         that it destroys
  to rude remarks
                          your abilities
Two Things That Make Sabr
         Difficult

  Internal         External
  Factor           Factor

                 Environment
Desires of the
                 (Things you
    Nafs
                   dislike)
Two Types of Sabr


              Sabr



 Ikhtiyari           Idhtiraari
(By Choice)          (By Force)
Which Type is rewarded
        more?



    Patience by Choice!
For Sabr, you need:
   Immense breadth of
        vision!
Sabr is a weapon
 That we ALL need, at
      ALL times!
To do sabr,
  Visualize EVERY
situation as a test!
ImagIne…
 You have four cameras pointing at you
      Recording from all directions
           Recording each word
And all this will be played back in front of
         Allah, and all of creation!
HOW WOULD YOU BEHAVE???
Let’s get practIcaL!
  Some Testing Situations
Five Point Criteria for Sabr

• There should be no complaint on your
  tongue
• There should be no complaint against
  Allah in your heart
• Your amal should not be affected
• Your dealings with people should not be
  affected
• Your ibadah should not be affected
Role play…….
Situation 1:
Things Not Going According to Plan
You had a full, busy day, with lots
of work to get done. But…Some
unexpected guests came
….….What happens now?
  Frustration? Anger boiling
over?
What do I usually do???


    Shout, get mad, blame
     the circumstances?
Solution: sabr!
            Remember the cameras 
       Accept Allah’s plans when yours fail!
  Be sensible. Reorganize! No point complaining!
Be happy with Allah if you want Him happy with you!
Situation 2:
Someone Praises a Person You Dislike


  • Until now you hid their
    faults…But someone praises
    them! You jump in to correct
    them?
Situation 3:
No Acknowledgment for your Efforts

• You worked hard all day, cleaning
  your room, studying, even made
  dinner. Mom came home, tired and
  angry. Instead of noticing the good
  work, she scolded you over
  something trivial. Now what?
Give people some space!
    Remember that she’s human.
    Patience is at the first stroke
           of a calamity!
Situation 4:
 Someone Criticizes You Unfairly
• One of the most maddening situations
You’re feeling pretty good about
yourself. Someone comes along and
bursts your bubble by pointing out
several flaws. Time for a catfight?
Three things to keep in mind
        Remember you can’t please
                  everyone
       You can’t work if every opinion
           reduces you to tears!
Second:
      Be sensible and confident
          Analyze the criticism
If the flaw is really in you, remove it
        If it’s not, don’t bother!
Third:
Know how to deal with anger
     Make wudu, change
position, focus on something
             else
Situation 5:
Desire to gossip/talk unnecessarily


When friends are gossiping, It’s
very hard to resist!
• When in Rome, do as the Romans
  do?
Stop to analyze
Think! What if your speech was recorded and
                 transcribed?
     Would you care to speak as much?
 Think of the purpose of this speech, and its
               possible benefits
         Avoid he-said, she-said talk
SOME WAYS TO MAKE SABR EASY
One
Realize the Benefits of
         Sabr
The Quran Tells Us…

Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account." (39:10)




• Sabr is the highest quality in akhlaq
• Good akhlaq will be the heaviest of all
  deeds
• Hence the huge reward for sabr!
Important tip!
Keep company of good
people who practically
  demonstrate sabr



Don’t give up if you fail
 once – don’t listen to
       Shaitan!
(Most Effective)




  Visualize Jannah
Visualizing Jannah
• One hadith tells us:
        “Paradise is surrounded by all kinds of
              disliked, undesirable things”
• Visualize Jannah as the peak of a high mountain
• All the paths that lead up to the peak are full of
  brambles, rubbish, insects and all manner of
  disliked things
• You still need to get to the top!
• So you will take the terrible, toiling path anyway!
• That is sabr 
Win-Win Situation of a Believer
Don’t Wish for Death!




• Anas R.A was the longest living sahabi. He
  faced great sorrows in life – but still no
  wishing for death!
• You have just one chance to make your
  Hereafter successful, so use it to the max!
Reward of Sabr = Paradise




• In such a scenario, sabr refers to not giving in
  to so much sorrow that it makes you
  angry, hopeless, or negative, or lose your
  abilities.
Allah Gives Patience if You Try

   “Whoever tries to be patient, Allah will give him
patience, and no one is given a better or vaster gift than
                        patience.”
               (From Malik’s Muwatta)


If you accept difficulties
uncomplainingly, then Allah WILL make it
easy for you to bear them!
A Believer’s Reaction to Calamity




Who, when disaster strikes them, say, “Indeed
  we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we
                will return.”
                  (2:156)
Remember!
 Of all types of management, self
management is the most important
– and the most critical to success!
Pray for sabr!
Don’t wait for calamity to strike
before you start making dua for
              sabr
       Pray for it always!
Dua for Sabr




Our Lord, pour upon us patience and let us die as
   Muslims [in submission to You]." (7:126)

Sabr

  • 1. SABR – (PATIENCE) And Give Glad Tidings to the Patient Ones…
  • 2. The Quran Tells Us… O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient. (2:153) • This shows that sabr is as important as salaah • Just like we cannot EVER leave salaah, no matter what, we also cannot EVER leave sabr, no matter what!
  • 3. But How?! How can I be patient always? It’s so difficult!
  • 4. What is Sabr? Literally: To stop, or stay back
  • 5. What is Sabr? (Dictionary Meaning) • To stop yourself from negative reactions at things you dislike • To hold yourself back from something you love • Bravery • Not complaining of difficulties
  • 6. Other Aspects of Sabr • Using logic instead of emotions to think through a situation • Rising above personal discomfort or preferences to finish a good deed that you started • To keep emotions in check even in happiness
  • 7. Other Aspects of Sabr • Removing undesirable qualities, weaknesses, and negative emotions from yourself • Requires minute analysis for weaknesses like jealousy and envy on very, very small scales
  • 8. Patience at First Stroke of Calamity • For any calamity that strikes you, small or big, remember that angels have their pens poised, ready to write your first reaction. • What will they record for you???
  • 9. What Sabr is Not Cowardice!
  • 10. What is Allowed? • Its okay to be sad or cry • But control the tongue and actions • It’s NOT okay to: – Lose hope – Blame Allah – Hurt others – Tear at your hair/give in to extreme emotion
  • 11. Examples of Sabr…..Work Being brave and finish the work strong in times you started of difficulty Not complaining of your problems
  • 12. More Examples of Sabr…..Salah Stopping for dhikr at the end Getting up for fajr of salaah Salah Giving up comforts, pleasant activities etc in the pursuit of Doing long qiyam ilm, e.g. attending quran class when you’d rather be in in salaah the café 
  • 13. More Examples of Sabr…….Heart Persistent effort to Fasting cleanse your heart Not giving in to Replying in a grief so much so polite, kind manner that it destroys to rude remarks your abilities
  • 14. Two Things That Make Sabr Difficult Internal External Factor Factor Environment Desires of the (Things you Nafs dislike)
  • 15. Two Types of Sabr Sabr Ikhtiyari Idhtiraari (By Choice) (By Force)
  • 16. Which Type is rewarded more? Patience by Choice!
  • 17. For Sabr, you need: Immense breadth of vision!
  • 18. Sabr is a weapon That we ALL need, at ALL times!
  • 19. To do sabr, Visualize EVERY situation as a test!
  • 20. ImagIne… You have four cameras pointing at you Recording from all directions Recording each word And all this will be played back in front of Allah, and all of creation!
  • 21. HOW WOULD YOU BEHAVE???
  • 22. Let’s get practIcaL! Some Testing Situations
  • 23. Five Point Criteria for Sabr • There should be no complaint on your tongue • There should be no complaint against Allah in your heart • Your amal should not be affected • Your dealings with people should not be affected • Your ibadah should not be affected
  • 25. Situation 1: Things Not Going According to Plan You had a full, busy day, with lots of work to get done. But…Some unexpected guests came ….….What happens now? Frustration? Anger boiling over?
  • 26. What do I usually do??? Shout, get mad, blame the circumstances?
  • 27. Solution: sabr! Remember the cameras  Accept Allah’s plans when yours fail! Be sensible. Reorganize! No point complaining! Be happy with Allah if you want Him happy with you!
  • 28. Situation 2: Someone Praises a Person You Dislike • Until now you hid their faults…But someone praises them! You jump in to correct them?
  • 29. Situation 3: No Acknowledgment for your Efforts • You worked hard all day, cleaning your room, studying, even made dinner. Mom came home, tired and angry. Instead of noticing the good work, she scolded you over something trivial. Now what?
  • 30. Give people some space! Remember that she’s human. Patience is at the first stroke of a calamity!
  • 31. Situation 4: Someone Criticizes You Unfairly • One of the most maddening situations You’re feeling pretty good about yourself. Someone comes along and bursts your bubble by pointing out several flaws. Time for a catfight?
  • 32. Three things to keep in mind Remember you can’t please everyone You can’t work if every opinion reduces you to tears!
  • 33. Second: Be sensible and confident Analyze the criticism If the flaw is really in you, remove it If it’s not, don’t bother!
  • 34. Third: Know how to deal with anger Make wudu, change position, focus on something else
  • 35. Situation 5: Desire to gossip/talk unnecessarily When friends are gossiping, It’s very hard to resist! • When in Rome, do as the Romans do?
  • 36. Stop to analyze Think! What if your speech was recorded and transcribed? Would you care to speak as much? Think of the purpose of this speech, and its possible benefits Avoid he-said, she-said talk
  • 37. SOME WAYS TO MAKE SABR EASY
  • 39. The Quran Tells Us… Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account." (39:10) • Sabr is the highest quality in akhlaq • Good akhlaq will be the heaviest of all deeds • Hence the huge reward for sabr!
  • 40. Important tip! Keep company of good people who practically demonstrate sabr Don’t give up if you fail once – don’t listen to Shaitan!
  • 41. (Most Effective) Visualize Jannah
  • 42. Visualizing Jannah • One hadith tells us: “Paradise is surrounded by all kinds of disliked, undesirable things” • Visualize Jannah as the peak of a high mountain • All the paths that lead up to the peak are full of brambles, rubbish, insects and all manner of disliked things • You still need to get to the top! • So you will take the terrible, toiling path anyway! • That is sabr 
  • 43. Win-Win Situation of a Believer
  • 44. Don’t Wish for Death! • Anas R.A was the longest living sahabi. He faced great sorrows in life – but still no wishing for death! • You have just one chance to make your Hereafter successful, so use it to the max!
  • 45. Reward of Sabr = Paradise • In such a scenario, sabr refers to not giving in to so much sorrow that it makes you angry, hopeless, or negative, or lose your abilities.
  • 46. Allah Gives Patience if You Try “Whoever tries to be patient, Allah will give him patience, and no one is given a better or vaster gift than patience.” (From Malik’s Muwatta) If you accept difficulties uncomplainingly, then Allah WILL make it easy for you to bear them!
  • 47. A Believer’s Reaction to Calamity Who, when disaster strikes them, say, “Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return.” (2:156)
  • 48. Remember! Of all types of management, self management is the most important – and the most critical to success!
  • 49. Pray for sabr! Don’t wait for calamity to strike before you start making dua for sabr Pray for it always!
  • 50. Dua for Sabr Our Lord, pour upon us patience and let us die as Muslims [in submission to You]." (7:126)

Editor's Notes

  1. Idea: Get situations from people in which they find sabr difficult, then answer them one by one.
