Patience VS Tolerance
Beneficial skill

people do not have but would
most definitely benefit from
would be patience. Mastering
this skill can be difficult and
problematic.
“Patience is a virtue”
The phrase 'patience is a
virtue' means the ability to
wait for something without
excessive frustration. It is a
valuable character trait.
THE CONCEPT OF SABR
(PATIENCE) IN ISLAM
“Hardships and ease are a trial for you.
Everything Allah chooses for you; from
good or evil, is for your benefit. Whatever
occurred to you could not have missed
you and what missed you could never
have reached you. Rewards are only for
those who are patient with the Decree of
Allah.”
Panic and impatience cannot prevent
Allah’s Decree. Shakwah (complaining) is
contradictory to Sabr (patience). Sabr is
obligatory!

Allah Subhanawataala says in the
Quran:
“Nay, seek (Allah’s) help with
patience perseverance and prayer: It
is indeed hard, except to those who
bring a lowly spirit, Who bear in mind
the certainty that they are to meet
their Lord, and that they are to return
to Him. ” [Quran 2:45-46]

Four areas in which we
should exercise patience
1. In problems.
“He who is slow to anger has
great understanding, But he
who is quick-tempered exalts
folly.”
Four areas in which we
should exercise patience.
2. With people.
It is said that of all the negative
emotions it is anger that is the worst.
In fact, the Buddha said that a
single moment of anger can
destroy the results of a hundred of
years of positive deeds.
Four areas in which we
should exercise patience.
3. With yourself.
Patience is one of the most important qualities to develop
if you care about personal growth. It’s also one of the
most difficult.
Four areas in which we
should exercise patience.
4. With God’s plan.
God’s delay may be a test of
your patience. If you’re
discouraged, turn it around by
remembering God teaches you
patience during delay.

Where to practice
tolerance

from you.

kids.

Tolerance at workplace

the workplace, such as those related to
diverse cultural backgrounds.

company progress and encourages a
breeding ground for misunderstandings and
unethical behavior
Continued
• . For a small business, tolerance is an
essential part of working toward goals
and developing creative solutions to a
wide range of workplace issues and
difficulties. Demonstrating tolerance in
the workplace requires a concerted
effort to develop an understanding of
another’s background, experiences
and beliefs
Workplace Importance
• Tolerance encourages open and
honest communication, promotes
creativity and innovation, fosters
respect and trust, improves team work

Why tolerate
Tolerance is important because the
person who learns to be open to
differences will have more
opportunities in education, business,
and many other aspects of life.
In short, success depends on it. Success
in today's world — and tomorrow's —
depends on being able to understand,
appreciate, and work with others.
Why Tolerance is Important
• Human beings aren't born intolerant. If you
watch young children playing in a schoolyard,
they care nothing for the color of someone's
skin, their gender, or the way that they're
dressed. They see nothing other than a
playmate.
• Often, as we get older, we're taught to
embrace the differences around us. For some,
however, these differences may begin to
challenge a sense of "safety." People often
relate easily to those who are similar to
themselves, but they may struggle with those
who are different.

seem, the reality is that we all share the
common bond of humanity. Our emotions

one another than we might think.

we have an attitude of inclusion, a world of
possibilities can open up.
