In our ongoing journey towards a Ramadan of Victory, we turn our focus to the second crucial aspect: Patience in Trials.
Victory lies in patience and steadfastness during trials. Allah advises: “O you who believe, seek help through patience and the prayer; Verily Allah is with the dauntlessly patient.” [Quran, 2:153]
Patience (sabr) is true strength. It involves seeing tests as from Allah, seeking His pleasure, and steadfastly adhering to it. The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) reassured Abu Bakr (Allah be pleased with him), “Grieve not, Allah is truly with us.” [Quran, 9:40]
Through steadfastness, find eternal bliss—the ultimate victory. Align worldly responses with what pleases Allah: maintain prayer, follow the Sunna, practice taqwa, serve others, seek knowledge, and be consistent.
May we find victory within ourselves, our societies, and the Umma.
