One of Allahs names is al-Halīm (The Forbearing One), and Allah loves the quality of forbearance, our messenger one day said to one of his companions “You possess two qualities that Allah loves: forbearance and patience.” [Sahīh Muslim (17-18)] Since Allah loves this trait so much,we find the messenger himself (peace be upon him) the best example of forbearance. Once, he was humiliated while being driven out of a town by the polytheists. The angel of the mountains approached him (peace be upon him), saying: “Allah hears the things your people are saying, and your Lord has sent me to be at your disposal. If you wish, I will make these two mountains crumble upon them.” The Messenger of Allah who was in physical pain and deed emotional stress due to the abuse he had received while being driven out, said: “No. I hope that Allah will bring forth from their children those who will worship Him alone.” [Sahīh al-Bukhārī (3231) and Sahīh Muslim (1795)] Brothers and Sisters in Islam “Forbearance comes through practicing forbearance.” This means that we can cultivate the quality of forbearance, regardless of what kind of temper we presently have. Forbearance and self-restraint can be learned and cultivated through practice. https://youtube/watch?v=MvEPpXIwGZs
