• Start pretending to be patience and ALLAH will give patience*
• Do it on a continual basis – do it consistently.
• Above is the general rule that Muslim should follow
• Very difficult characteristic to develop.

*Hadeeth – narrated by Abu Saeed Khudri found in Sahee Bukhari Hadeeth – “whoever pretends and acts to be patience Allah will give him patience.” Knowing that patience is what ALLAH has commanded and struggling with it, eventually you will get the patience.

Indeed the best deed ALLAH like is done consistently even if it is small.  

Inner Piece is that what world’s seeks – we have it if we only take it. It is in Islam

We seek the inner piece from the materialist things around us (big car, lot of money, kids, big house)– but inner piece is the affairs of the heart – a person who does not have anything can have inner piece. 

So what we need to come with is practical approach to develop gratitude and patience. But for that to take place we need to make a CHANGE – we cannot continue as we have at this point of our life.

Make gratitude and patience part of our lives

We need to reflect on death – DESTROYER OF PLEASURES – needs to go to the graveyards – get the reward, spiritual benefits – company of the righteous – we need to do as many as righteous deeds. 

Make COMMITMENT TO CHANGE – all those ready to CHANGE – real CHANGE in their lives 

Obsessive Behavior – doing the same thing, expecting different results – banging the head over the wall. Only way to do is to CHANGE.
