Description
About This Book:
Two of the most essential traits a Muslim can have are patience and gratitude. Both the Quran and the Sunnah mention them, and both are necessary for leading a moral and contented life. The ability to endure difficulties without grumbling is patience. It is the antithesis of rage and irritation. One of the secrets to prosperity in this world and the next is patience, a virtue that Allah rewards. The act of being grateful is expressing gratitude for one's blessings. It is the antithesis of ungratefulness. Being grateful is a quality that makes Allah happy and is essential to finding happiness in this life. Patience and gratitude have numerous advantages. We are able to overcome obstacles and accomplish our goals with patience. It also enables us to maintain composure and concentration under pressure. Being grateful makes it easier for us to recognize the positive aspects of our lives and fosters contentment with what we already have. This book is written to highlight the necessity and the pressing need to pursue these two qualities and to illustrate that happiness in this world and the Hereafter is dependent on them. It is intended to be a comprehensive, extensive and useful book. It contains a great amount of useful information, which is worthy of being held firmly and clung to vigorously. It is pleasing to the reader, plain to him who reads it thoroughly, engaging to the distressed, stimulating for the neglectful one, and encouraging for the one who is ready to work. It also contains points of benefit from the exegesis of the Quran and the traditions of the Prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) duly referred from their sources, reports from pious predecessors with references, juristic issues supported by evidence, and indications to the spiritual path. All of these will be obvious to the one who contemplates over it and is endowed with a sound intellect.
