Beautiful patience.
0:10
Allah the Exalted says:
0:14
"So endure with beautiful patience."
0:17
And beautiful patience
0:19
is the patience that is not tainted by anything contrary to its true essence.
0:24
It is a patience devoid of distress and weariness,
0:27
and free from complaining to anyone other than Allah.
0:30
It is a patience without anxiety or doubt regarding the truthfulness of Allah’s promise.
0:35
It is a patience that is content with the decree of Allah,
0:37
cognizant of His wisdom—glory be to Him—in the trial,
0:41
and confident in a favorable outcome.
0:44
The Prophet of Allah, Ya'qub (peace be upon him),
0:47
embodied this beautiful patience when he was tested regarding his son, Yusuf (peace be upon him).
0:53
He said:
0:55
"So beautiful patience is [my] course."
0:57
“And they came with false blood on his shirt. He said: Nay, but your minds have beguiled you into something. (My course is) comely patience. And Allah it is Whose help is to be sought in that (predicament) which ye describe.” (12:18)
1:01
And upon being tested with his second son many years later,
1:06
he said:
1:07
"So beautiful patience is [my] course."
1:09
“(And when they came unto their father and had spoken thus to him) he said: Nay, but your minds have beguiled you into something. (My course is) comely patience! It may be that Allah will bring them all unto me. Lo! He, only He, is the Knower, the Wise.” (12:83)
1:13
"Indeed, it is He who is the All-Knowing, the All-Wise."
1:16
He reinforced his patience by turning to Allah—the Almighty and Majestic—
1:20
so that He might strengthen him in his ordeal.
1:23
He said:
1:24
“And they came with false blood on his shirt. He said: Nay, but your minds have beguiled you into something. (My course is) comely patience. And Allah it is Whose help is to be sought in that (predicament) which ye describe.” (12:18)
1:28
His beautiful patience was reaffirmed a second time by his steadfast reliance on the promise of Allah,
1:33
and his realization of His—glory be to Him—wisdom.
1:36
He said:
1:38
“(And when they came unto their father and had spoken thus to him) he said: Nay, but your minds have beguiled you into something. (My course is) comely patience! It may be that Allah will bring them all unto me. Lo! He, only He, is the Knower, the Wise.” (12:83)
1:42
"Indeed, it is He who is the All-Knowing, the All-Wise."
