Sabr (patience) in Islam

Sabr (patience) in Islam is the ability to remain steadfast and composed through life’s challenges, while continuing to trust in Allah’s wisdom and timing. It involves controlling one’s reactions, staying firm in faith, and persisting in doing what is right even when it is difficult. Sabr is not passive waiting, but an active strength that reflects deep ایمان (faith), bringing a believer closer to Allah and earning immense spiritual reward.

Istighfar is the act of seeking forgiveness from Allah for one’s sins and shortcomings. In Islam, it reflects humility, self-awareness, and a sincere desire to turn back to Allah with repentance. Regularly saying phrases like “Astaghfirullah” helps cleanse the heart, brings spiritual peace, and strengthens a believer’s relationship with Allah, while reminding them to strive for better actions.

On Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Decree), Muslims are encouraged to devote the night to sincere worship because it is believed to be better than a thousand months. A Muslim should spend the night praying voluntary prayers (qiyam), reciting and reflecting on the Qur’an, making heartfelt duʿāʾ (supplications), and seeking forgiveness from Allah. It is also recommended to increase remembrance of God (dhikr), give charity if possible, and ask for mercy and guidance. One of the most recommended supplications taught by Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam is: “Allahumma innaka ʿafuwwun tuḥibbul ʿafwa faʿfu ʿanni” (O Allah, You are Most Forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me). The goal is to spend the night with sincerity, humility, and hope for Allah’s mercy and reward. 🌙✨

The Prophet ﷺ taught that if someone insults, argues, or tries to provoke a fasting person, they should respond by saying:

“I am fasting.”

This serves two purposes:
1. Self-reminder – It reminds you to control your anger and protect your fast.
2. Warning to the other person – It signals that you won’t engage in argument because you are observing an act of worship.

The repetition emphasizes restraint and self-control.
