Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Her other question is: How is exhorting one another to truth and exhorting one another to patience carried out, through the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-'Asr 103:3]?
Answer:
Exhorting one another to truth is enjoining good and forbidding evil. The one who enjoins good and forbids evil is exposed to harm from people; he faces opposition, so he must be patient with what he does in enjoining good, forbidding evil, and calling to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). He must be patient with that. Patience is necessary, and there is no religion for one who has no patience. The Commander of the Faithful, 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), said: "Patience is to faith as the head is to the body; a body is not sound without a head, just as faith is not sound without patience." So both of these are necessary. Yes.
