“Verily, with Allah, there are levels that cannot be attained except with patience at times of trial, and gratitude at times of prosperity.”

[As-Sabr wa ath-Thawab | Al-Hafiz ibn Abi Al-Dunya | d. 281H]

This is on the spiritual journey of a believer, highlighting that true closeness to Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) the higher levels of nearness, love, and reward aren’t reached by ease alone. They are earned through two key states of the heart:

1️⃣ Patience in Trials (Sabr `inda al-bala’):
Life is filled with hardships, loss, pain, and uncertainty. These are not punishments, but tests. When one meets them with patience, not just passive endurance, but active trust in Allah’s wisdom that person climbs spiritually. This patience polishes the soul, breaks pride, and roots a person more firmly in faith.

2️⃣ Gratitude in Prosperity (Shukr `inda an-ni‘ma):
Ease and blessings are also tests. Will you remember the Giver or get lost in the gift? Gratitude means recognizing that everything good comes from Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) and using it to please Him. It’s a sign of humility and love. A grateful heart is full, content, and deeply aware of divine generosity.

‼️Together, patience and gratitude are like wings. We need both to rise. Patience anchors us during storms; gratitude lifts us in the sunshine. And with them, Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) opens doors to spiritual heights that would otherwise remain locked 🔒.
