Khutbah Summary: The Virtue of Patience

Last Friday, our Imam delivered a powerful khutbah on the virtue of patience (sabr) in Islam. Here are the key points:

What is Sabr?

Sabr is not merely passive waiting—it's an active state of perseverance, steadfastness, and self-control. Allah mentions patience over 90 times in the Quran.

Types of Patience

1. Patience in obedience: Continuing to worship even when difficult
2. Patience in abstaining from sin: Resisting temptation
3. Patience in trials: Enduring hardships with faith

Quranic Verse

*"Indeed, Allah is with the patient."* (Quran 2:153)

Practical Applications

• When facing difficulties, say "Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un"
• Take time before reacting to anger
• Trust in Allah's plan even when we don't understand

May Allah grant us all patience and make us among the sabirin (patient ones).
