Sabrun Jameelun !! A Beautiful Patience !!!! But Why ?

If you cut paste the Qur'anic verse of Surah Yusuf verse 33 where Prophet Yusuf a.s. says " Jail is better than the sin they are inviting me too !" and show it to the Hollywood-Bollywood stars along with the reason which invitation Yusuf a.s. is referring to, they will get a shock of their life. In an age where celebreties dont spare even their maids and servants, from their lustful clutches, the patience of a man who prefers going to jail instead of accepting the invitation of a beautiful noble woman, can be a little amazing.
In the same Surah Allah quotes, twice, another Prophet, this time Yaqub a.s. declaring and assuring himself in his worst crises " Indeed a Beautiful Patient " First when his other sons himforms him that wolves have eaten up Yusuf (a.s.) and second time when his yuongest son Bin Yamin is hold back by the governer of Egypt on the accusation of robbery. A man looses two beloved sons and gets blind while greiving is still calling patience to be beautiful !
Most of us have not understood what is the beauty in undergoing suffering! Why is sabr called beautiful ?Indeed Sabr enjoys a lofty status in Islam. The Qur'an mentions between 80 - 90 times various varieties and virtues of sabr. Sabr means : TO WAIT TILL ALLAH DECIDES AND BRINGS HIS COMMAND.
Patience is a blessing from Allah. As Allah says : Fa'sbir wama sabaroka illa billahi.... Surah Nahl ch 16 : 126.
Sabr is an assurance of Promise of Allah : Fasbir, inna wa'adallahi Haqq... Be patient the promise of Allah is true....(Surah Rom ch 30 verse 60 and Surah Ghafir ch 40 vese 55 and 77)
Sabr results the pleasure of Allah : Bear with patience to please Allah Surah Ra'ad ch 13 verse 22
Let us see the methods of Sabr, how to beautify your sabr and how to increase the sabr stamina..
Sur'ah Ra'ad verse 22.. Do sabr to please Allah and establish salah and spend from what provision whe have provided you and return evil with good....If you closely study this verse it will inform you the methodology of sabr. As I say that Salah and emaan is the first casulty when a calamity befalls upon many of us. Here we are told that observing patience means to continue praying and worshipping Allah in all the situations that require patience. Even spending in the way of Allah strenghtens sabr and returning evil with good is also finest way of being a sabir i.e. patient.
The second verse is from Surah Ghafir ch 40 verse 55 : Do astaghfar continuosly..
The immense honorable results that this sabireen got " Ayyub a.s.got his health and wealth back. Yaqub a.s. got his son Yusuf a.s. back and that too with love among the rest of the brothers who hated Yusuf a.s. Yusuf himself got his family back and from a sold human he rose to the Governorship of Egypt via Jail and this he acheived by Sabr.
Indeed Sabr is beautiful....
