Patience is half of your faith...
The messenger of Allah (pbuh) was asked: "What is faith?" He replied: "Patience."
In another traditional hadith he said: "Patience is half of faith." Allah (swt) repeats the word sabr (patience) more than seventy times in the Qur'an, signifying the importance of this virtue.
Allah (swt) promises that He is with the patient: "Surely God is with the patient." (2:153)
"That which is with you comes to an end, but that which is with God endures; and surely We shall compensate those who were patient their according to the best of what they did." (16:96)
The Prophet (pbuh) said: "Patience is a treasure of the treasures of Paradise." He further said: "If patience were a man, he would be a generous man; and God Most High loves the patient."
Patience is a human trait. Animals and beasts do not exhibit this trait and Angels have no need for it because they are completely submissive and without free will, left to glorify the Almighty.
At first a human being is created with animal characteristics, he craves and desires things to satisfy his appetite.
When he hits puberty two angels are appointed to him and he is responsible for all his actions. He begins to understand that all his actions have consequences and that even though he may attain momentary pleasure for doing something he may be subject to long-lasting sorrow because of it.
Fortunately, Allah (swt) has appointed an angel to give him strength and power and to guide and direct him so that he will refrain from which he has learned is harmful to him.
Allah loves the patient.
Holla.
