00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:08,859
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:08,859 --> 00:00:13,919
Patience of choice and patience of necessity.

3
00:00:13,919 --> 00:00:18,920
Patience of choice is that which is exercised despite the presence of many distractions from it.

4
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:23,920
Yet, a person chooses it and prioritizes it over its opposite.

5
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:28,920
This includes patience in performing acts of obedience and patience in refraining from sins.

6
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,920
An example of this in acts of obedience is:

7
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:31,920
Fasting.

8
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:36,920
Wherein a person restrains themselves from food and drink by their own choice.

9
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,920
In compliance with the religious obligation and in desire for its reward.

10
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,920
This is why the month of Ramadan is called the month of patience.

11
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,020
An example of this regarding sins is:

12
00:00:48,020 --> 00:00:53,020
The patience of Yusuf, peace be upon him, in refraining from committing indecency with the wife of al-'Aziz.

13
00:00:53,020 --> 00:00:56,020
Despite the many urges toward it.

14
00:00:56,140 --> 00:00:58,140
As for the patience of necessity:

15
00:00:58,140 --> 00:01:03,140
It is the patience regarding the decrees that befall a person without their choosing.

16
00:01:03,140 --> 00:01:06,140
One has no recourse but to be patient with them.

17
00:01:06,140 --> 00:01:07,140
An example of this is:

18
00:01:07,140 --> 00:01:12,140
The patience of Yusuf, peace be upon him, regarding his ordeal with the harm his brothers caused him.

19
00:01:12,140 --> 00:01:14,140
And his time in prison.

20
00:01:14,140 --> 00:01:18,269
Patience of choice is greater in reward than the patience of necessity.

21
00:01:18,269 --> 00:01:22,269
Because it is patience exercised despite the presence of distractions from it.

22
00:01:22,269 --> 00:01:26,269
Yet in both, there is goodness and a great reward.

23
00:01:26,269 --> 00:01:30,909
