"Indeed, Allah is with the patient." — Al-Baqarah 2:153
✦ FROM THE SUNNAH
"Amazing is the affair of the believer; all of it is good for him... if harm touches him, he is patient and that is good for him." — Sahih Muslim 2999
✦ LIVE IT THIS WEEK
When something irritates you today, pause, breathe, and respond a moment later than you want to.
