The man, since his birth, begins learning something good or bad; intentionally or unintentionally; formally or informally from  principles, dogmas, social norms and real or unreal quotations of the people surrounded with him or from internet. They have no an exact idea whether these stuffs may be useful or harmful to him or to people around him spiritually, emotionally or psychologically, but how come he ascertains?  Is there any criteria  which can testify what norms of life should we adopt? Nevertheless,  the  credulous finally  make them a principle of  life and then begin carrying them out blindly.

Similarly, this kind of people on virtual world and in real life have been seen  indoctrinating each other with a sense of their own superiority, love and respect of ego, which undoubtedly isolates them from their beloved ones. I have  learned from the example of the chief of angel when denied to bow to Adam assuming himself superior to Adam had been cursed devil. Fighting for ego is the tricks by devil, which always keeps you impatient, whereas the best fight, which has been taught to us, is to fight with ego/ evils within us in other words, to have patience.

I have learned it in my childhood that the faith is the most powerful gift of Allah Almighty, whoever keeps it always remains dominant in every walk of life and never falls down. His downfall is temporary and worries are fed away, but for he needs patience. What role does the faith in Allah Almighty play in a believer's life?. It abstains him from going astray, changes devilish addictions into angelic attributes, gives miracle in a believer's life and much more.

I have learned from my elders to love the truth even more than your own self. Therefore, it maybe the first principle  of preaching the truth is to tolerate self humiliation despite being 100 % innocent so as to preach the truth without bringing ego  When I study the life of my beloved Prophet (peace be upon him) who was humiliated and persecuted for the truth, but in return he never humiliated them back. He always exercised   patience and thus, laid down a practicable example of tolerance and patience by himself. 

In this world, the most people belonging to different religions have been seen doing virtuous deeds either to glorify themselves or to have reciprocal response in return, but whenever a believer does a virtuous deed, he does with the intention to please and exalt his Almighty.

There is no patience, there is no faith. When I recite  Surah Al-Aser, which is one of my most favorite surah of Al-Quran, I am impressed to have looked at its sequence how logically verses of this Surah have been arranged. By reading it, you may ascertain how much importance has been given to the patience.

Surah Al-Aser [103]
"By oath of this era of your ( O dear Prophet Muhammed-- peace and blessing be upon him). Indeed man is surely in a loss. Except those who accepted faith, and did good deeds and urged one another to the truth -- and urged one another to have patience."

When one embraces faith with all instructions given by The Almighty Allah, it (faith) makes believer do good deeds.
When he is used to doing good deeds, he, then, comes to the position to urge other to do good deeds. In other words, preach what you practise. First, he, himself, react in patience, he, then, may be able to urge other to have patience. The faith in Him keeps you patient. Similarly, the patience keeps you  faithful. The faith goes, patience will automatically go and vice versa.

How to gain the patience? By establishing five times prays, which is a Muslim meditation, remembering Him, keeping fasts and convincing yourself that you have to account to Allah Almighty for all your deeds at the Day of Judgement. In other words, faith in Him.

In your view, what is the lesson or theme of this blog.

Note:

 Keeping in view of constant criticism on writing Ibless as "the chief of angels", it has been discussed with Muftis (Islamic Scholars) who have verified that calling him the chief of angels referring to the past time doesn't count as sin nor it may effect the faith of Muslims writers and readers. it was the demand of my content, so I wrote it here. No further explanation is required here. we must be worried about what we have to account to Allah. 

May Allah guide all of us to the right path! ameen!
