1. To restrain the heart from rebelling against and complaining about the fate that

Allah has ordained and to strive to achieve the station of acceptance and rejoicing in whatever fate brings them. 2. To stop the tongue from showing fright, or uttering what is forbidden, and to strive to achieve the higher station of saying what Allah has instructed us to say, "Innaa lil-laahi wa innaa ilaihi raaji'oon (To Allah we belong, and to Him is our return). [Surah Al-Baqarah (2), Ayah 156.] 3. To restrain the hands from committing acts of disobedience, such as slapping the cheeks and tearing the clothes, as such actions reflect the lack of one's pleasure with Allah's destiny. This is the type of endurance which is legally commendable, and how excellent this provision is! "And Allah loves the patient." [Surah Ale-Imran (3), Ayah 146.]
