Beliefs & concepts

Steadfast patience under trial in Islamic ethical speech. Not shukr as gratitude alone, and not patience as a bare virtue label.

Also known as Sabr

Islam

  • Ṣabr appears in Islam.

    The Qur’an repeatedly commands and praises ṣabr — patient perseverance — for believers under trial. Islamic patience-speech in that revelation, not patience as the English virtue already walked alone.
