Patience for the Sake of Personality Development

This Quranic verse tells us about the unlimited data and facts which are not available in the present world. However, in Paradise these would become available to us. In this way man will have that framework in the light of which he will be able to think according to his intellectual demand in an unlimited manner.

The second aspect of the intellectual demand is for man to be able to live among those who have the same wavelength as he has, who have a high level of thinking and with whom he can have the perfect kind of intellectual exchange. According to the law of nature, such people are not available on a mass level in this world. God Almighty will select such individuals from the whole of human history and settle them in Paradise. In this way that kind of high society will be formed in Paradise which is the greatest need of a true believer.

It is this fact that has been mentioned in the Quran in these words:

Quran lays a lot of emphasis on patience (sabr). According to a Quranic verse in the chapter Al-Zumar (Crowds):

Such a verse has not appeared in the Quran for any other deed. Only for patience does the Quran say that its reward would be countless in measure.

What is this reward? This reward is not a result of any mysterious phenomenon. It is that which those who exercise patience receive instantly, if they have exercised patience in the real sense.
