The Benefits Of Patience 63

this outstanding patience is Allah's love, generosity, and approval:
Allah has promised the male and female believers Gardens
with rivers flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly,
forever, and fine dwellings in the Gardens of Eden. And
Allah's good pleasure is even greater. That is the great victory.
(Surat at-Tawba, 72)
Their Lord gives them the good news of His mercy, good
pleasure, and Gardens in which they will enjoy everlasting
delight. (Surat at-Tawba, 21)
Their reward is with their Lord: Gardens of Eden with rivers
flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly, forever and
ever. Allah is pleased with them, and they are pleased with
Him. That is for those who fear their Lord. (Surat al-Bayyina, 8)

Allah's patient servants will be met in a Paradise of boundless
beauty due to the angels' greetings of peace and good wishes, and
through all eternity they will never leave it. Angels announce that
these eternal blessings are the reward for their patience, as follows:
Gardens of Eden that they will enter, and all of their parents,
wives, and children who were righteous. Angels will enter in
to welcome them from every gate: "Peace be upon you because
of your steadfastness! How wonderful is the Ultimate Abode!"
(Surat ar-Ra'd, 23-24)
To those people who display a great determination to exhibit a
fine morality throughout their lives, remaining steadfast in times of
difficulty, and exhibiting behavior pleasing to Him, Allah multiplies
their rewards many times over:
They will be given their reward twice over, because they have
been steadfast… (Surat al-Qasas, 54)
