Note - 502The full meaning of Sabr is to be understood here, viz.:
Patience, perseverance, constancy, self-restraint,
refusing to be cowed down. These virtues we are to
exercise for ourselves and in relation to others; we are
to set an example, so that others may vie with us, and we
are to vie with them, lest we fall short; in this way we
strengthen each other and bind our mutual relations
closer, in our common service to Allah.
|
Note - 503Prosperity (falah here and in other passages is to be
understood in a wide sense, including prosperity in our
mundane affairs as well as in spiritual progress. In both
cases it implies happiness and the attainment of our
wishes, purified by the love of Allah.
