Patience and Perseverance (P/B)
Sulayman ibn Qasim said, “The reward of every deed is known except for patience, for Allah Almighty Said: ‘Indeed, those who endure patiently will be given their reward in full without limit.’ [Al-Zumar, 10]
The attribute of patience is less about the ability to sit tight and wait out any adversity or misfortune, and more about holding good etiquette and Islamic propriety while waiting. This includes persevering throughout the ordeal, not complaining about one’s condition (except to Allah) and recognising that Allah’s wisdom and decree necessitate holding good positive thoughts about Him.
Remembrance of The Most Merciful ( Dar sa-Sunnah)
Imâm ibn Qayyim al Jawziyyah (d. 751M)
Allah, the Most High, Says: “Remember Me, and I shall remember you” Qur’an 2:152 Abu Hurayrah (radiy Allahu ‘anhu), said that the Prophet (if) said: ‘Allah the Almighty said:’ “I am as My servant thinks of Me. I am with him when he makes mention of Me. If he makes mention of Me to himself, I make mention of him to Myself; and if he makes mention of Me in an assembly, I make mention of him in an assembly better than it. And if he draws near to Me an arm’s length, I draw near to him a cubit, and if he draws near to Me a cubit, I draw near to him a fathom, if he comes to Me walking, I go to him at speed. (al-Bulkäri and Muslim)

The Ten Promised Paradise (Dar usSunnah)
“Not equal are those of you who spent (in the way of Allah) and fought before the victory (in Makkah). They are far greater in rank than those who spent and fought afterwards. Yet Allah has promised each a fine reward.” {57:10}While the Companions of the Prophet # were given the glad tidings of Paradise in general, there are those promised Paradise individually such as those mentioned in Hadith of ‘Al-‘Ashara Mubashara’.
