الصَّبُورُ

AS-SABUR

(The Extensively Enduring One)

The Patient, The One who does not quickly punish the sinners.

Allah is As-Sabur, The One who is most patient and enduring. He does not act in a hastily manner but rather waits until the proper time. He does not punish the disobedient and unbelievers, he allows time for them to repent or an opportunity to take the right path.

From the root s-b-r which has the following classical Arabic connotations: to be patient, to be enduring to endure trial or affliction with good manner to be contented in trial or affliction without show of complaint to make no distinction between comfort and affliction to bear calmly, to persevere cheerfully to be steadfast, constant to restrain, confine, restrain, withhold from something.

O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient. (Quran 2:153)
