THE CONCEPT OF SABR (PATIENCE) IN ISLAM

“Hardships and ease are a trial for you. Everything Allah chooses for you; from good or evil, is for your benefit. Whatever occurred to you could not have missed you and what missed you could never have reached you. Rewards are only for those who are patient with the Decree of Allah.”Panic and impatience cannot prevent Allah’s Decree. Shakwah (complaining) is contradictory to Sabr (patience). Sabr is obligatory!

"Tolerance is giving to every other human being every right that you claim for yourself."

Dr. Martin Luther King

• The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy

different from you.• Tolerate the kids mistakes.• Do not hesitate to teach tolerance to

kids.• Tolerate your guests.• Tolerate neighbors.

Tolerance at workplace

• A lack of tolerance thwarts team and company progress and encourages a breeding ground for misunderstandings and unethical behavior

Continued• . For a small business, tolerance is an

essential part of working toward goals and developing creative solutions to a wide range of workplace issues and difficulties. Demonstrating tolerance in the workplace requires a concerted effort to develop an understanding of another’s background, experiences and beliefs

Workplace Importance

• Tolerance encourages open and honest communication, promotes creativity and innovation, fosters respect and trust, improves team work and cooperation, and encourages good work relationships. It also enhances cooperation, loyalty, and productivity – all of which are highly important in the workplace!

person who learns to be open to differences will have more opportunities in education, business, and many other aspects of life.

In short, success depends on it. Success in today's world — and tomorrow's — depends on being able to understand, appreciate, and work with others.

Why Tolerance is Important

• Human beings aren't born intolerant. If you watch young children playing in a schoolyard, they care nothing for the color of someone's skin, their gender, or the way that they're dressed. They see nothing other than a playmate.

• Often, as we get older, we're taught to embrace the differences around us. For some, however, these differences may begin to challenge a sense of "safety." People often relate easily to those who are similar to themselves, but they may struggle with those who are different.

Continued…No matter how different someone else

may seem, the reality is that we all share the common bond of humanity. Our emotions and life experiences bind us together, and we often have far more in common with one another than we might think.

This is why tolerance is so important. When we have an attitude of inclusion, a world of possibilities can open up.
