20 Tips for Patience in the Face of People's Harm, by Ibn Taymiyya, Commentary by Abd Ar-Razzâq Al-Badr - IBN BADIS Edition

20 Tips for Patience in the Face of People's Harm (الأسباب المعينة على الصبر على أذى الخلق ), by Ibn Taymiyya, Commentary Abd Ar-Razzaq Al-Badr, Bilingual (French-Arabic)

The theme that we are going to discuss, by commenting on it, relates to a passage from a letter written by Sheikh ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyya - may Allah have mercy on him - in which he talks about patience. He dealt with it meticulously and very usefully the things that can help a person to show patience in the face of others' harm. He mentioned details that are hardly found in other writings. May Allah have mercy on this imam. And what an imam he was! What a pleasant exhortation and what a beautiful argument! May Allah reward him abundantly for all that he has accomplished and provided as effort; may Allah lodge him in the high Firdaws; He is, indeed - Blessed and Exalted be He - the Hearer, the Near and the One who answers.

I implore Allah, The Generous, who has made us from this commentary of the words of Sheikh ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyya-may Allah have mercy on him relating to things that help to be patient in the face of others' harm, to make it also a help for all of us to acquire this patience, and to make us part of His enduring and grateful servants. For religion is made up of two parts: Endurance and gratitude. That's why it is said: Patience is half of religion.
