SHAFAQNA – Imam Ali (AS) said: You must be patient, without patience a person’s belief is not complete. Patience is like a head in a body, as the body cannot be without a head, the belief cannot be without patience [1]. Allah (SWT) rewards patient people countlessly [2]. In Ayah 200 of Surah Al-e-Imran 3 steps of patience have been mentioned. Imam Sadeq (AS) commented on this Ayah as: Be patient in difficulties, perform religious duties and establish connection with guardians of religions (Imams) [3].
