Teaching patience to today's youth

“Maulana saheb, to be satisfied with less and to plan for the future requires a lot of patience. Today's youth does not have that patience because they always live in the psychology of haste, and due to this they make mistake after mistake, and become a victim of depression. My question is: how can we make the youth of today understand the virtue of patience?”Asked by صادق خان, احمد آباد

His answer, in his own words

Maulana, agla sawal lete hain. Yeh sawal bheja hai Sadiq Khan sahab ne Ahmedabad se. Unhone likha hai: "Maulana sahab, kaam pe satisfied hona aur aage ke liye planning karne ke liye bohat sabr karna padta hai. aaj ka youth itna sabr nahi karta kyunke hamesha woh jaldi ki psychology mein rehta hai, aur isi wajah se ghalati par ghalati karta hai, aur depression ka shikar ho jata hai. mera sawal yeh hai ke: "How can we make the youth of today understand the virtue of sabr?" dekhiye, sabr koi mamooli baat nahi hai. sabr koi mamooli baat nahi hai. sabr ka matlab hai apni tanhai ko khatam kar ke Allah ko apne sath le laina.

aap ghor kijiye ke sabr koi mamooli baat hai. sabr ke mani hain ke Allah ko apne sath le lena, Rab ul Alameen ko apne sath le lena, sari kainat ke malik ko apne sath le lena. bataiye, is mani mein sabr to is se bari to koi cheez hi nahi. is se bari to koi cheez hi nahi. maulana, doctor naghma siddiqui ne dilli se likha hai: "maulana, I understood clearly today that we have to restudy and discover the meaning of the Quran and apply it to our lives. And in today's age of peace, all aspects of Islam have to be reinterpreted on peaceful lines. It is very, very important.
39:52
May God help us to do this and apply it in our life and as a part of teamwork in the Quran mission۔" mashallah. maulana, agla sawal dilli se bheja hai ghayoor ul islam sahib ne. unhon ne likha hai: "maulana ashraf ali thanvi ne likha hai ke sila rehmi karne walon ki umar mein barkat ho jati hai.
