"𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐬" ~ Abu Naasir, Shaykh Ibrahim AbdurRauf (may Allaah preserve him upon goodness)

There are two factors that fetch goodness and prevent evils, these dual-purpose factors are 𝐓𝐚𝐪𝐰𝐚 (𝐏𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲) & 𝐒𝐚𝐛𝐫 (𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞)

He said do you remember the story of prophet Yusuf (alayhi solaatu wa salaam)?

"They said: Are you indeed Yûsuf (Joseph)? He said: I am Yûsuf (Joseph), and this is my brother (Benjamin). Allâh has indeed been gracious to us. 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐲, 𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐚̂𝐡 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐇𝐢𝐦 (𝐛𝐲 𝐚𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬), 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭, then surely, Allâh makes not the reward of the Muhsinûn (good-doers }) to be lost." ~Suratul Yusuf verse 90

Prophet Yusuf attained what he attained out of Piety and Patience.

My dear brethren, have Piety and Patience, you'll attain goodness in this world and the hereafter.

As regards these factors protecting you from evils, Allaah says:

"If a good befalls you, it grieves them, but if some evil overtakes you, they rejoice at it. But if you remain patient and become Al-Muttaqûn [the pious], not the least harm will their cunning do to you." Surely, Allâh surrounds all that they do". ~Suratul al Imran verse 120

Thereafter, the Shaykh quoted some verses that preach patience from Quran chapter 2 and also advised us to think about how Prophet Yusuf was patient with his trials and his brothers.

The Shaykh also said "Ikhwah, make sure you work to attain the two attributes - Piety and Patience.

They have to go pari passu, they've to go simultaneously, one isn't enough to get the desired results.

The Shaykh (may Allaah preserve him upon goodness) shared this with us yesterday when we met during our visit to Abu Ahmad, Shaykh Sulayman Hamzat (may Allaah him upon goodness and be merciful to our shaykh's departed mum and elder brother)

Alhamdulillaah, I didn't miss the opportunity to tell Abu Naasir that we and our households are getting a lot of benefits from his weekly talks and I prayed to Allaah to reward him abundantly and accept his deeds.

Yesterday was full of lessons and benefits for me and my brethren, we visited 3 teachers of Sunnah in my city Ibadan just yesterday alone.

May Allaah reward every teacher of Sunnah abundantly and preserve them upon goodness.

Don't forget to work on the two factors mentioned above, I pray Allaah increases us in Piety and Patience.

The only thing missing in the world today is good character, and it affects all spheres of our engagements.
