Excellence of Patience & Gratefulness

About This Book

Excellence of Patience & Gratefulness is an English translation of a work by Imam Ibn Qayyim Al-Jauziyah, the classical scholar well known for his writings on faith and the condition of the heart. The book is devoted to two qualities the Qur'an and Sunnah return to often: patience (sabr) and gratitude (shukr).

It first explains what each word means within Islamic belief, then shows how a believer can stay patient through different circumstances while remaining grateful to Allah. The explanations rest on the Qur'an and Sunnah and on examples from the lives of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and other pious Muslims, and the language is plain and easy to follow.
