If patience is a virtue, why does it hurts so much?

Patience is moderated by feelings that we cultivate during emotion contact between people. I believe that people that fail to control their emotion are caused by their lackness to apply patience as a virtue inside their soul. Well, i'm just trying to throw out a point here whereby my patience is no longer valid. I'm struggling to fit myself into a world where boundaries are no longer exist.

Emotion is hypothetical. Patience aren't. It is not a burden for men to carry emotion and patience. but it is their duty to balance emotion and patience. I felt one thing when it comes patience in daily life; "why is it always me?". This question arises multiple times and ive had it. I want solution. I want freedom of mind. so, tell me, why does it hurts so much?

I see people raging on this very earth because of their patience that dried out. I see mobsters shooting victims of tragedy because of emotion. So does these two things get connected? Well, personally, it does. seriously, i was so naive back then, i didnt even know the importance of emotion control to gain patience.

firstly acap, congratulations on your first post on your first blog. may Allah Guide you towards istiqamah. hehe.

secondly, to answer the question, 'why does it hurts so much?'. This is simply explained by our history. Always Look Back In Our History. and when i say history i mean the sirah. whenever we have a problem, doesnt matter what sort of problem, just go back to islam. cause islam is the solution.

“ Sungguh menakjubkan perihal orang mukmin kerana semua perkara yang menimpanya ialah kebaikan dan tidaklah berlaku perkara ini melainkan hanya kepada orang yang beriman. Apabila dia diberi nikmat lalu disyukurinya maka menjadilah nikmat itu sebagai kebaikan baginya. Sebaliknya apabila dia diuji dengan musibah maka dia bersabar lalu menjadikan pula musibah itu sebagai kebaikan baginya” (Hadith sahih riwayat Muslim no. 2999).

Dari riwayat Abu Hurairah ra bahawa sesungguhnya nabi bersabda : “Barangsiapa yang diingini oleh Allah akan kebaikan maka diujinya dengan musibah” (hadith Sahih riwayat Bukhari, Muwatho dan Ahmad).


(sorry cos i dont have the english text of this hadith)

but there you have it. life is a test. rasulullah and all the previous prophets were tested, and hurts more than it hurts us. all the battles, the torture, doesn't make them nothing but closer to Allah.

sometimes, something that seems good to us, doesnt mean its something that we should do and something that Allah wants us to do.

and sometimes, something that doesnt seem very pleasing to do, doesnt mean we should avoid it, and that something maybe the thing that Allah loves us to do.

taken from al-baqarah:216
"...But you may hate a thing although it is good for you, and love a thing although it is bad for you. God knows, but you do not know."

if it's good, and it hurts, believe me, you are on the right track :) and that means Allah loves you. maybe you should listen to the song called Rahmat Ujian by Mestica.

hope that helps.

thanx for the great comment.yea to earn patience in one's soul, i do believe in the power of religion.in fact, religion is the only way to earn true patience that can last forever.but i guess its just a matter of 'knowing' and 'realizing'.
