PATIENCE
Ali bin abi Taleb رضي الله عنه went to Ash'ath to console him upon the death of one of his sons. He said, " If you are sad, then you are deserving of mercy, but if you are patient, then Allah gives you something in place of what was lost or destroyed. And know that if you are patient, everything that was destined for you and preordained for you will occur and you will be rewarded. If you complain and are hopeless, then likewise all that was destined for you will occur, except that you will be blamed for your impatience at Allah's will.

Patience everyone....( I need to learn from this )

Imam Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah, in his book Ad-Da' wad-Dawa', said that surely sins are like the seeds of fruits that always bear like fruits. Some of our pious forefathers have said that indeed the punishment for committing a sin is that one is compelled to commit sin again, and the reward for doing a good deed is the guidance to follow that up with yet another good deed. This singular action of doing a good deed bears a series of good deeds and in turn one's profits multipy. Similarly bad deeds bring more bad deeds and begin to take shape and permanence in one's character.

If a righteous person were to leave a good deed, he/she would feel confined and constircted. Much like a fish out of water, the soul finds rest only in the tides of moral decency. So it is the same for the sinner, who finds comfort only in the familiarity and repetition of an old sin. He, too, feels the same sense of longing as the righteous person does. He/she sins not for the pleasrue that is derived from it, but to soothe the pain that being away from it brings.
