Granted Only to the Patient
وَمَا يُلَقَّىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُواْ وَمَا يُلَقَّىٰهَآ إِلَّا ذُو حَظٍّ عَظِيمࣲ ٣٥
But none is granted it save those who are steadfast, and none is granted it save the owner of great happiness.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
But none is granted it except those who are patient and those of great fortune.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, only those who make patience their nature attain the trait of repelling evil with the best good; for repelling the urge for revenge takes true patience.
Reflect
Overcome your urge for revenge with patience today.
