There is nothing more beautiful than beautiful patience.

It's inspiring to us when we can see it in others, and it's even more endearing to

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala who sees us for what we actually are and who knows what we're

actually going through.

You know, there could be someone with an obvious hardship walking around and people naturally

feel sorry for them because they can observe their pain.

And then you have those that show signs that they're hurting in ways that are harder

to see, but an observant eye can see them.

And then you have those that seem to be living the life, but they have no sense of purpose,

no sense of contentment, so it's all superficial.

And some of the most tortured souls move around in this world in the most pristine disguises.

And some of the most content people are often in the most distressing outward appearance.

And for those people, you marvel sometimes at their sabbara, at their patience.

You look at them, and Allah, you're like, how is it that these people are going through

so much, but they're so content?

And it's actually a miracle in and of itself.

And that's why the Prophet's life sometimes said, it's adjup.

It's a wonder that some people have patience in that regard.

And the reality is that that tranquility is generated through the perspective that they

have in this life, but also the paradise that they know awaits them in the next, so long

as they remain in the state of prophetic patience.
