Beautiful explanation of the following three categories of patience:

2. Patience upon staying away from the disobedience of Allah
– Different types of punishment that preceded for the nations previously
3. Patience upon what Allah has decreed
– Principle: whether you understand the trial, you must remain patient upon the decree.
– Shaykh Fawzan:
Principle regarding sins: if you err then you must return back to the truth if you are the one that is wrong. If you are a person on truth and you did not err then you must exercise patience, seeking the reward of Allah and reflect upon the way of the Prophets and their patience, awaiting the aid of Allah.
– Shaykh Uthaymīn:
Statement from Ibnul Qayyim regarding: Striving against oneself and its levels:
1. Strive to learn guidance and the true religion
2. Strive to act upon the knowledge that you have gained.
Principle: if you can’t help yourself, you will not be able to help others. Rectifying yourself will aid others.
3. Strive to call to the way of Allah and teach those who aren’t aware of it.
4. Strive to remain patient with those around him.
– If a person acts upon these four levels then they will be Rabbaniyoon

The Third: That whoever is obedient to the Messenger ﷺ and singles out Allāh with all worship, upon Tawhīd, then it is not permissible for him to have friendship and alliance with those who oppose Allāh and His Messenger, even if they are those most closely related to him, and the proof is the saying of Allāh, the Most High: You will not find a people who believe in Allāh and the Last Day loving those who oppose Allāh and His Messenger, even if they are their fathers, or their sons, or their brothers, or their kinsfolk. Rather Allah has decreed true Faith, for their hearts and strengthened them with proof, light and guidance from Him; and He will enter them into the gardens of Paradise beneath whose trees rivers will flow, and they will dwell therein forever.
