"O YOU WHO BELIEVE, SEEK HELP THROUGH PATIENCE AND PRAYER. SURELY, ALLAH IS WITH THOSE WHO ARE PATIENT." (SURAH AL-BAQARAH:153) (PART 1)
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱسۡتَعِينُواْ بِٱلصَّبۡرِ وَٱلصَّلَوٰةِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ
Lexically the word Sabr (صبر) means "retaining oneself, or keeping oneself under control". In the terminology of the Holy Quran and the Hadith, there are three forms of Sabr:
(1) Restraining oneself from what the Shariah has declared to be illegal or impermissible (Haram).
(2) Forcing oneself to be regular in the observance of the different forms of worship and to be steadfast in obeying the commandments of Allah and the Holy Prophet. ﷺ
(3) To endure suffering and undesirable events without complaining, to understand that whatever befalls a person comes from Allah, and to hope that one would InshaAllah be rewarded for that suffering. Ibn Khatir says, on the authority of the commentator Sa'id ibn Jubayr, that if one cannot help uttering a word of grief or a sigh of pain, it does not go against Sabr, or nullify it.
