I hope this reaches you in the best state of health and Iman...


An effective hadeeth from Sahih Buhkhari. It is short and simple, yet very powerful...

Volume 2, Book 23, Number 389:

Narrated Anas:

The Prophet said, "The real patience is at the first stroke of a calamity."

Simple? Definitely! Difficult to apply, initially...until it becomes habit.
How many of us handle our every day events like this?
ANYONE can be patient when there is not a problem. Some of us, inititally "flip out" and then step back and then decide to be patient and think it out.
How many of us, remain patient at "the first stroke of a calamity...?"

think about it....

May Allah (swt) help guide us all.....Ameen

Wa assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
