I was going to write a piece on the different meanings of "sabr" and "shukr," as it is the name of this blog. For those who don't know, shukr translate to gratitude. However, there is no word in English that comprehensively covers all the complexities of the word "sabr." Wiki gives a concise defenition: 1.)To actively or passively bear physical challenges and 2.) to remain spiritually steadfast.
However, since sabr and shukr are very important aspects of spirituality, the book Hayatul Muslimeen by Shaykh Ashraf Ali Thanwi devotes an entire chapter to its discussion. I was going to post the chapter, but since I don't own rights to the book, I'd rather not take the chance (!) :)
Here's the link, so check it out if you'd like! >> http://www.al-islam.edu.pk/islamic%20books/ch-23.htm
Till next week, insha'Allah!
