5 Preface فَاصبِر صَبرًا جَميلًاYusuf AliTherefore do thou hold Patience,- a Patience of beautiful (contentment).1The prophet of God, persecuted and in trouble with the world, should yet hold Patience-not the sort of patience which goes with complaints expressed or suppressed, but the sort of patience that is content with the ordering of God’s world, for he believes and knows it to be good, as did the Prophet Muḥammad. Such a patience is akin to Good Pleasure, for it arises from the purest faith and trust in God. (R).
