We tend to easily lose temper when we disagree with the other person’s or people’s views. This is natural, and the expected reaction is most probably anger and frustration which gets provoked by Satan.
So let us learn to be patient with those whose views we do not agree with, as the Sunnah of the Prophet (s.a.w.) which was commanded by Allah when he was subjected to trials much beyond what we face:
“(He Alone is) The Lord of the east and the west, La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). So take Him Alone as Wakil (Disposer of your affairs).”
“And be patient (O Muhammad SAW) with what they say, and keep away from them in a good way.”
[Al Qur’an: Surah al-Muzammil ayahs 9 and 10]
Undoubtedly, we are not even close to facing the agony which our Rasul (SAW) and Sahaba (R.A.) went through.
Let us disappoint Satan who wishes to create disharmony amongst us. With a firm reminder in mind that Allah is with those who are patient, we can do it Insha’Allah! :)
