Patience in the Qur’an: Six Benefits 1. Instruction: Patience is enjoyed upon the Believers. ِﻪَّﻠﻟﺎِﺑ ﺎَّﻟِﺇ َﻙُﺮْﺒَﺻ ﺎَﻣَﻭ ْﺮِﺒْﺻﺍَﻭ And endure patiently, your patience is not but from Allah. (16:127) ﺎَﻨِﻨُﻴْﻋَﺄِﺑ َﻚَّﻧِﺈَﻓ َﻚِّﺑَﺭ ِﻢْﻜُﺤِﻟ ْﺮِﺒْﺻﺍَﻭ So wait patiently for the Decision of your Lord, for verily, you are under Our Eyes. (52:48) 2. That which is opposite to patience is forbidden ْﺫِﺇ ِﺕﻮُﺤْﻟﺍ ِﺐِﺣﺎَﺼَﻛ ﻦُﻜَﺗ ﺎَﻟَﻭ َﻚِّﺑَﺭ ِﻢْﻜُﺤِﻟ ْﺮِﺒْﺻﺎَﻓ ٌﻡﻮُﻈْﻜَﻣ َﻮُﻫَﻭ ٰﻯَﺩﺎَﻧ So wait with patience for the Decision of your Lord, and be not like the Companion of the Fish – when he cried out (to Us) while he was in deep sorrow. (68:48) 3. Patience is made a condition of success and prosperity ﺍﻮُﻄِﺑﺍَﺭَﻭ ﺍﻭُﺮِﺑﺎَﺻَﻭ ﺍﻭُﺮِﺒْﺻﺍ ﺍﻮُﻨَﻣﺁ َﻦﻳِﺬَّﻟﺍ ﺎَﻬُّﻳَﺃ ﺎَﻳ َﻥﻮُﺤِﻠْﻔُﺗ ْﻢُﻜَّﻠَﻌَﻟ َﻪَّﻠﻟﺍ ﺍﻮُﻘَّﺗﺍَﻭ O you who believe! Endure and be more patient, and guard your territory by stationing army units permanently at the places from where the enemy can attack you, and fear Allah, so that you may be successful. (3:200) 4. The reward of those who exercise patience is doubled ﺍﻭُﺮَﺒَﺻ ﺎَﻤِﺑ ِﻦْﻴَﺗَّﺮَّﻣ ﻢُﻫَﺮْﺟَﺃ َﻥْﻮَﺗْﺆُﻳ َﻚِﺌٰـَﻟﻭُﺃ ْﻢُﻫﺎَﻨْﻗَﺯَﺭ ﺎَّﻤِﻣَﻭ َﺔَﺌِّﻴَّﺴﻟﺍ ِﺔَﻨَﺴَﺤْﻟﺎِﺑ َﻥﻭُﺀَﺭْﺪَﻳَﻭ َﻥﻮُﻘِﻔﻨُﻳ These will be given their reward twice over, because they are patient, and repel evil with good, and spend out of what We have provided them. (28:54) ٍﺏﺎَﺴِﺣ ِﺮْﻴَﻐِﺑ ﻢُﻫَﺮْﺟَﺃ َﻥﻭُﺮِﺑﺎَّﺼﻟﺍ ﻰَّﻓَﻮُﻳ ﺎَﻤَّﻧِﺇ Only those who are patient shall receive their reward in full, without reckoning. (39:10) Sulayman ibn Qasim said, “the reward of every deed is known, except for the reward of patience which will be like heavy rain.” 5. Patience and emaan are pre- requisites for leadership in religion ۖ ﺍﻭُﺮَﺒَﺻ ﺎَّﻤَﻟ ﺎَﻧِﺮْﻣَﺄِﺑ َﻥﻭُﺪْﻬَﻳ ًﺔَّﻤِﺋَﺃ ْﻢُﻬْﻨِﻣ ﺎَﻨْﻠَﻌَﺟَﻭ َﻥﻮُﻨِﻗﻮُﻳ ﺎَﻨِﺗﺎَﻳﺂِﺑ ﺍﻮُﻧﺎَﻛَﻭ And We made from among them (Children of Israel), leaders, giving guidance under Our Command, when they were patient and used to believe with certainty in Our Ayat. (32:24) 6. Patience is the way to earn the Companionship of Allah َﻦﻳِﺮِﺑﺎَّﺼﻟﺍ َﻊَﻣ َﻪَّﻠﻟﺍ َّﻥِﺇ ۚ ﺍﻭُﺮِﺒْﺻﺍَﻭ And be patient. Surely, Allah is with those who are patient. (8:46) -Taken from “Patience and Gratitude” by Ibn al-Qayyim
