Patience

Patience is the silence that fills the space between you and I
It has coddled me gently into an open eyed sleep where
Dreams are as real as you want them to be

The thing about patience is that it is there with everything else
It will cup the tears in upturned palms and whisper soft truths
Slowly breaking through perceptions and reminding that
Indeed the author of your story is All-merciful

"Patiently, then, persevere - for the Promise of Allah is true, and ask forgiveness for your faults, and celebrate the praises of your Lord in the evening and in the morning."
40:55

"Verily man is in loss, except such as have faith, and do righteous deeds, and join together in the mutual enjoining of truth, and of patience and constancy."
103:2-3

"Seek Allah's help with patient perseverance and prayer. It is indeed hard except for those who are humble."
2:45

"Oh you who believe! Seek help with patient perseverance and prayer, for God is with those who patiently persevere."
2:153

Ali reported: We were in a funeral in the graveyard of Gharqad that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) came to us and we sat around him. He had a stick with him. He lowered his head and began to scratch the earth with his stick, and then raid: There is not one amongst you whom a scat in Paradise or Hell has not been allotted and about whom it has not been written down whether he would be an evil person or a blessed person. A person said: Allah's Messenger, should we not then depend upon our destiny and abandon our deeds? Thereupon he said: Acts of everyone will be facilitated in, that which has been created for him so that whoever belongs to the company of the blessed will have good works made easier for him and whoever belongs to the unfortunate ones will have evil acts made easier for him. He then recited this verse (from the Qur'an): "Then, who gives to the needy and guards against evil and accepts the excellent (the truth of Islam and the path of righteousness it prescribes), We shall make easy for him the easy end and who is miserly and considers himself above need, We shall make easy for him the difficult end". (XCii. 5-10).
