Power of Patience | Swindon Masjid 05/12/2025

In this moving reminder at Swindon Masjid, we learn the deeper meaning of sabr (patience) and how it plays a central role in the life of every believer.
The speaker explains three key types of sabr mentioned in the Qur’an:

🌙 1. Sabr in Obedience

Staying steadfast in worship — praying on time, giving zakah, obeying Allah even when it challenges our comfort and desires.

❌ 2. Sabr in Avoiding Sin

Holding back from haram temptations, resisting desires, and staying firm on the commandments of Allah.

💔 3. Sabr During Hardships

Responding with “Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un” when faced with loss, pain, or trial — knowing Allah rewards us twice:
• once for the guidance that benefits us,
• and again for practising it.

The talk also highlights:

How controlling anger (not eliminating it) is a sign of true human honour

The psychological insight of scholars on managing emotions

The relationship between sabr, emotional control, and being a true servant of Allah

Why Allah tests those He loves and how reward lies in our response

This is a powerful reminder for anyone seeking inner peace, emotional discipline, and a stronger connection with Allah.

May Allah grant us true sabr, control over our emotions, and the wisdom to act only in ways pleasing to Him. Ameen.
