Beautiful Patience
فَٱصۡبِرۡ صَبۡرࣰا جَمِيلًا ٥
But be patient (O Muhammad) with a patience fair to see.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
So be patient with beautiful patience.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, the disbelievers’ punishment will surely come; its command is given. The Prophet should bear their denial and demands with beautiful patience.
Reflect
Be patient today without complaining.
