Qur'an: Be patient

"O you who believe,

be patient,

be more patient than others,

guard your frontiers,

and fear God

so that you may be successful."

(Al-Qur'an, Surah Aal Imran, Verse 200)

Qur'an: People of Understanding

Surely, in the creation of the heavens and the earth,

and in the alternation of night and day,

there are signs for people of understanding,

who remember God

standing, sitting and [lying] on their sides,

who ponder on the creation of the heavens and the earth:

'Our Lord, You have not created all this in vain.

You are far above that!

So save us from the torment of the Fire.'

(Al-Qur'an, Surah Aal Imran, Verses 190-191)

Qur'an: Gentleness

So it is through Mercy from God that you were gentle to them.

Had you been rough and hard-hearted,

they would have surely dispersed from around you.

So pardon them, seek forgiveness for them,

and consult them in the matter.

And once you have taken a decision,

place your trust in God.

Surely, God loves those who place their trust in Him.

(Al-Qur'an, Surah Aal Imran, Verse 159)
