We are given time ⏰
Learn the meaning of As Sabur
Jumuah Mubarak to our dear brothers and sisters.
Allah, in His infinite wisdom, is As-Saburthe One who does not quickly punish the sinners, the Most Patient. As Ustadh Meurad gracefully reminded us in his enlightening 99 Names of Allah class, "we are given time".
Allah the Exalted grants us precious time to turn back to Him, to mend our ways, and to strive for His pleasure. Even when we falter, the angels pause before recording our errors, giving us the chance to repent and realign our hearts.
How merciful is our Lord, who witnesses every moment of our struggle, every effortto improve, and every sincere step toward Him. His patience with us is immeasurable.
The Prophet reminded us: Do the deeds you can manage, for Allah does not tire of giving rewards until you tire.
Sahih Bukhari 1970
It is not perfection He seeks, but persistencesmall, consistent deeds done with sincerity. Take solace in knowing that As-Sabur is aware of your trials and cherishes your every attempt to draw nearer to Him: "Whoever comes to Me walking, I will come to himrunning**"** (Sahih Muslim 2687).
His door remains open, waiting for the humbled heart to step through. Let us not delay in turning to the One who never turns away. May As-Sabur guide us to actions that elevate us and draw us closer to His mercy. Ameen.
