Be Patient

• Bear any harm that you encounter on the path of Dawah
• Be obedient to Allah and don’t do things he forbade you from doing

Patience – Sabr – is 3 Kinds:

1. Patience upon obedience to Allah (story of Sa’ad and his Mom)
2. Patience upon avoiding that which Allah has forbidden (Story of Yusuf)
3. Patience with regard to the decrees of Allah which he puts into effect. ie. Qadr (Story of Ayyub)

Home work: Choose one of the different kidns of sabr and write a page about it. Include examples.

Jihadun Nafs is 4 Kinds (according to Ibn Qayyim)

1. Strive to learn the deen
2. Strive to put that knowledge into action (Iqra’ then Qum)
3. Strive in Dawah
4. Strive to have patience against all hardships

Know may Allah have mercy upon you, that it is obligatory – Wajib – upon every Muslim, male or female, to learn and act upon the following 3 matters:

1. Knowing that Allah created us and provided sustenance for us, and He did not leave us without a purpose. Rather he sent a messenger to us. So whoever obeys him will enter Jannah, and who ever rejects and disobeys him will enter the Fire.
2. Knowing that Allah is not pleased that anyone should me made a sharer in worship with Him, neither any angel nor Prophet.
3. Knowing that whoever is obedient to the messenger and singles out Allah with all worship and tawheed, then it is not permissible for him to have friendship and alliance with those who oppose Allah and his messenger, even if they are related to him.
