Praise be to Allah Almighty
We always commence by sending blessings and salutations upon the best of Creation (Muhammad) Peace be upon him, his entire household, all his companions, may Allah bless them all and bless each and every single one of us. Aameen
Patience may be of two✌ types, either physical or psychological, and both types may either be by choice, or without choice, as follows:
*1.* Physical patience by choice, such as doing hard labour willingly.
*2.* Physical patience without choice, such as patiently bearing illness, beatings and extremes of heat and cold.
*3.* Psychological patience by choice, such as refraining from things which both the Shari‘ah and common sense say are wrong.
*4.* Psychological patience without choice, such as patiently bearing an enforced separation from one whom you love.
As mentioned above, patience is of two types, by choice or without choice. Patience by choice is of a higher status than patience without choice, as the latter is common to all people, but the former is not attainable by all.
Therefore the patience of Yusuf alayhi Salam in disobeying the wife of al-‘Aziz, and his patience in bearing the resulting punishment, is of higher status than his patience in response to his brothers’ actions, when they threw him in the well, separated him from his father and sold him as a slave. This superior, voluntary, patience is the patience of the Prophets, of Ibrahim, Musa, Nuh, ‘Isa and the Seal of the Prophets, Muhammad (Peace be upon them all). Their patience was in calling the people to Allah and in striving against the enemies of Allah.
We ask Allah Almighty to make us and among those who have the Quality of Patience. Aameen
