Many of the Qur'an actually say that the word a suburb here which technically means patience is actually referring to fasting.

That you see closeness to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala through fasting and through prayer but Allah called this noble act of ours patience suburb.

I want us to connect what we see of what we were trying to generate of patience in Ramadan in a very specific sense to the patience that we see from our brothers and sisters in Palestine in particular and how we generate that from them and from our brothers and sisters all over the world that so bravely and courageously stand in front of their oppressors and do not relent.

But maintain a posture in front of their brothers in front of their oppressors that we can't help but admire and we think to ourselves subhanAllah where do they get that from.

Now obviously it's one thing to be patience with food and drink. It's another thing of course to be patience with bombs over your head.

It's one thing to be patience with someone that's being annoying, someone that's a little insulting, a little bit rude in the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam said say in the satan.

I am fasting and I hope inshaAllah ta'ala that what was in the satan and Ramadan that I am fasting and Ramadan when you see something that warrants that has turned into in the Muslim, I'm just a Muslim and I don't do those things inside or outside of Ramadan I'm going to hold myself back.

But it's another thing when you have occupying forces in front of you, troops in front of you, settlers walking into your house and throwing you out.

People that show you absolutely nothing of any redeeming human quality and you have to be patience in the face of that but they are connected to each other.

And the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam taught us when it comes to patience in particular that sometimes seeing someone else or knowing of someone else that is going through something harder than you or has been through a difficulty harder than you allows you to be able to overcome the trials and the difficulties in your own life because you're able to draw inspiration from them and ultimately try to connect yourself to the same, connect yourself to the same source that they are drawing from.

And that's why we have the famous Hadith of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam.

May Allah have mercy on my brother Musa alayhi s-salam alaqad udiya bi akhtaram in this.

He was struck with worse than this. He was annoyed by his people more than I am being annoyed in this situation.

He faced a greater difficulty and he was patience. Fasabbat. I too should be patient.

When I look back on my brother Musa alayhi s-salam and draw from that inspiration and there is something very important here.
