PATIENCE (SABR) — THE QURAN'S MOST REPEATED COMMAND
The concept of patience (sabr) appears in more than 90 verses of the Quran — one of its most repeated themes. Patience is not only about enduring hardship; it also includes resisting what is forbidden, staying consistent in worship, and waiting with trust in God. Surah Al-Baqarah states "God is with those who are patient" (2:153) — a companionship that assures us we are not alone even in the hardest moments of impatience. Surah Az-Zumar promises that the patient will be rewarded without measure (39:10). You can listen to the verses in this collection and reflect on patience.
