5. Patience

English book, p. 13

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

5. Patience do what wisdom demands of you in that situation. This is exercising patience. Suppose someone has caused you trouble. You feel overwhelmed by the desire for revenge. But you stop yourself and then do what your faith wants you to do. This is exercising patience. In other words, impatience is reflected in a hasty response to a situation, while a considered, well-thought-out response is what patience is about.
