Patience (sabr), like some other religious terms, has been subject to misunderstanding and misinterpretation which may thereby harm part of the main body of Religion. In addition to a terminological discussion, it is attempted in this article to provide a proper impression of this concept with reference to the Qur'an and some traditions, maintaining that patience produces certain positive energy in a faithful person so that he may withstand difficulties and set them as stairways to development and advancement in achieving further spiritual knowledge about God; and, thus, strengthening his faith.
