Imam Sajjad (a.s) said: “Perseverance and contentment with divine destiny are the highest forms of God's worship. God will only destine what is beneficial for those who are patient and content with what God destines for them-whether they like it or not.”
عن علي بن الحسين (عليه السلام) قال
الصبر والرضا عن الله رأس طاعة الله، ومن صبر ورضي عن الله فيما قضى عليه فيما أحب أو كره لم يقض الله له فيما أحب أو كره إلا ما هو خير له.
