Patience is a type of feeling that can be used to bear its consequences. It does not mean that the person keeps numb or silence in spite of being on the right track. People may think that they have underestimated their opponent as they did not get any reverse reaction from them. Actually it is a false prediction or misconception in their mind. The people who do not retaliate against any false allegations are few in number to be counted on finger tips but they have high esteem and regards for patience and tolerance. There war is not against human beings but against the devil or saitan who fills very proud to create difference in humans. They believe that it is this silence and cool temper would lead to the path of success in life to come and even after death. People with such soft and sober nature are very often successful in life. It is such attitude that even if some evil falls on them or at testing times they do not leave the rope of patience and tolerance and just do it for the sake of God. The more they are tested the more they feel proud and become more firm and strong of it because they love Almighty God. They tend to bear it to fullest length And never give up any hopes.
