Patience and Thankfulness: Reflections from Imam Al-Ghazali
“Wondrous the affair of the believer for there is good for him in every matter and this is not the case with anyone except the believer. If he is happy, then he thanks Allah and thus there is good for him, and if he is harmed, then he shows patience and thus there is good for him.” – Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)
The journey of life is full of tests and blessings, and how we respond to each of them will shape our destination in the Afterlife. An intimate understanding of thankfulness and patience are the keys to success.Join us every other Monday from 7-9pm, starting February 13th, at the Miftaah Institute cafe for Thabaat’s first series: reflections on patience and gratitude, inspired by the writings of Imam al-Ghazali from Ihya Ulum Al-Din, The Revival of the Religious Sciences.
