This type of patience can be achieved internally through sincerity . khlA) and a humble heart during acts of worship, and externally by maintaining consistency in performing good deeds with enthusiasm and in accordance with the principles of sharah. What cultivates this patience is the remembrance of AllahAos promise of reward in both this world and the hereafter for acts of obedience. Whoever consistently practices this kind of patience will attain a position of closeness to Allah, experiencing a spiritual sweetness and pleasure in worship that is beyond description. However, those who attain such a state should not rely solely on the feeling itself but remain fully reliant on Allah (Al-HaddAd. Patience in avoiding sin. This can be attained externally by abstaining from sinful actions and avoiding environments that promote them, and internally by not intending or inclining toward sin, since every sin begins with a whisper of the heart. Reflecting on past sins is only beneficial when it leads to fear or regret. otherwise, it is better avoided. Motivation for this form of patience stems from remembering the threat of AllahAos punishment in both the world and the hereafter. Whoever consistently practices this type of patience will, by the grace of Allah, develop an aversion to sinAiso much so that entering Hellfire would feel lighter than committing even the smallest sin (Al-HaddAd, 2.

God willing . n shA AllA. , be addressed subsequently. The second category of patience in the face of hardship concerns enduring the harmful behavior of othersAiwhether such harm is directed toward one's person, wealth, or dignity. The highest expression of this patience manifests when a person does not harbor hatred toward the one who wrongs them, provided that the perpetrator is a fellow Muslim. Furthermore, the patient person does not wish evil upon the wrongdoer, does not pray for their misfortune, and does not retaliate. Rather, they may choose either of two noble responses: showing gentleness and remaining patient with the personAos actions, or forgiving and overlooking the offense.
