What is Sabar (صبر)?
Sabar means patience, but in Islam it’s more than waiting — it’s steadfastness, trust in Allah, resistance to sin, and strength in hardship.
⸻
3 Types of Sabar:
1. Sabar in Obedience:
Staying firm in prayer, fasting, and good deeds even when it’s hard.
2. Sabar from Sin:
Holding yourself back from haram when no one sees but Allah.
3. Sabar in Trials:
Bearing pain, loss, poverty, sickness — and still saying:
“Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un.”
(Surah Al-Baqarah 2:156)

Ayat from Qur’an:
وَاصْبِرْوَمَا صَبْرُكَإِلَا بِاللَهِ
“Be patient. Your patience is only through Allah.” (16:127)
إِنّمَا يُوَفّى الصّابِرُونَأَجْرَهُم بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ
“The patient will be given their reward without limit.” (39:10)
⸻
Why It Matters:
• Prophets lived with sabar: Nuh waited 950 years, Yusuf in prison, Ayyub in sickness, Rasulullah ﷺ through pain and rejection.
• Ibn Qayyim: “Faith is two halves: sabr and shukr.”
⸻
Sabar is not weakness. It’s strength in silence.
It’s when your heart aches, but your tongue says: “Alhamdulillah.”
