An Example of Noble Character

The Quran’s statement that “God will soon bring ease after hardship” (65:7) affirms a universal law of nature—one that is always at work and never changes. If a person truly believes in this divine system, restlessness and despair will vanish from within. They will begin to live with hope and unshakable confidence. When you are certain of this truth, letting go of your own benefit in the face of someone else’s stubbornness no longer feels like a loss, because you believe that God will soon compensate you for it with something better. Sacrificing your pride does not feel like a sacrifice, because you believe its reward will come in abundance. Enduring someone’s provocation is not hard because you know that divine support is already on its way. Waiting is not inaction; in God’s world, it is a positive and purposeful strategy. Waiting is not a sign of weakness— it is proof of strength, showing that you have risen above temporary emotions and have the vision to look ahead. Waiting is not surrendering to the other party; it is stepping aside and allowing God to take your place. PROPHETIC ADVICE It is narrated from Abu Huraira that the Prophet of Islam said: A believer should not harbour hatred against a believing woman. If he dislikes one of her qualities, he should be pleased with another. (Sahih Muslim, Hadith No. 1469)
