O you who believe[d]!

Be steadfast and [be] patient and [be] constant and fear Allah so that
you may (be) successful.

3. Read the Quran

Al Quran is one of worship that can be done anytime. Reading the Qur'an can be done from
morning until evening. Thus, the practice of reading the Qur'an can be increased as much as
possible. Reading the holy book of the Qur'an will make the heart become more calm and
patient.

Indeed, We [We] [We] revealed to you the Quran progressively. So be patient for (the)
Command (of) your Lord and (do) not obey from them any sinner or disbeliever. (Al Insan
23-24)

4. Fasting

Fasting is to withhold everything that can cancel the fast from dawn to sunset. Things
that cancel the fast include eating, drinking, menstruation, puerperium, intentional vomiting,
sex related of husband and wife, apostasy, out semen, and others

Fasting is very useful in resisting the passions. In addition, fasting can also serve to
increase the level of patience. If patience has been applied, it will also add reward from Allah
SWT.

But said those who were given the knowledge, "Woe to you! (The) reward (of) Allah (is)
better for (he) who believes and does righteous (deeds). And not it is granted except (to)
the patient ones." (Al Qasas : 80)"5. Avoiding bad deeds
One way to increase patience is to maximize yourself to not do bad deeds. Sometimes the
negative things that are done are very pleasant. Even so, it is just a pseudo-happiness that
someday we will regret.
If touches you a good, it grieves them and if strikes you misfortune, they rejoice at it. And if
you are patient and fear (Allah), not will harm you their plot (in) anything. Indeed, Allah, of
what they do (is) All-Encompassing. (Ali Imran : 120)

6. Worship to Allah SWT alone

The purpose of human life in the world is to worship Allah SWT. Because life in the world is
only temporary, it can even be said this life is too fast. By always remembering Allah SWT
we will be more patient and sincere in life. If a person does not have patience, worship and
struggle will not be meaningful.

Whatever (is) with you will be exhausted, and whatever (is) with Allah (will) be remaining.
And surely We will pay those who (are) patient their reward to (the) best (of) what they used
(to) do (An Nahl : 96)
7. Exercise patience

With diligence to continue to train yourself, patience can also be formed. Self-training to
improve patience is also not easy. Because it will always be a temptation that comes to tempt.
But, if we are able to confront it, then we are among the righteous.

and those who fulfill their covenant when they make it; and those who are in [the] suffering
and [the] hardship, and (the) time (of) [the] stress. Those (are) the ones who are true and
those, [they] (are) the righteous. ( Al Baqarah : 177)

8. Imitate the Prophet's patience

The story of the prophets can be a lesson for us in patience. The prophets have gained many
tremendous hindrances and trials. But they can pass it patiently. By reading or watching the
story of the prophets in patience, we can take lessons from them. Moreover, their example
can be applied in everyday life.

So be patient, as had patience those of determination of the Messengers, and (do) not seek to
hasten for them. As if they had, (the) Day they see what they were promised, not remained
except an hour of a day. A notification. But will (any) be destroyed except the people - the
defiantly disobedient ? (Al Ahqaf : 35)

9. Always think positive

Positive thinking is also one way of practicing patience according to Islam. Everything that
happens by the will of God and God has arranged everything. Humans often forget to Allah
SWT when stricken disaster. And blame Allah for all trials.

Therefore, positive thinking will make us more patient with temptation. When people
successfully faces temptation by remembering the name of Allah SWT, then the favor of God
received will be greater.

And surely We will test you with something of [the] fear and [the] hunger and loss of [the]
wealth and [the] lives and [the] fruits, but give good news (to) the patient ones. (QS. Al
Baqarah : 155)

10. Regulate emotions

One way to improve patience is by regulating emotions and breathing. By regulating emotion
and sighing a long, anger that arises subside. Controlled emotions of breathing relax the tense
muscles and increase patience.

11 Shalat
And enjoin (on) your family the prayer and be steadfast therein. Not We ask you (for)
provision; We provide (for) you, and the outcome (is) for the righteous[ness].(QS. At Thaha :
132)
If we are facing a trial, then we should be patient in facing it. One way to keep us patient and
tough is to shalat. Compared to just daydreaming and moaning, it's better to run the shalat.
One of them, performing the night shalat (tahajud) and ask for guidance to Allah SWT.
12 Prayers

O you who believe[d]! Seek help through patience and the prayer. Indeed, Allah (is) with the
patient ones.( QS. Al Baqarah : 153)
Allah will grant the wishes of the devoted servant of Allah SWT. In order for our prayers to
be answered by Allah SWT, we must often help the difficulties of others. Although we are
also in trouble, but acting selfishly will keep us far from being patient. In fact, the burden of
trouble will come more and more and make us impatient, emotionally high, and often angry.
13 Khusyu
And seek help through patience and the prayer; and indeed, it (is) surely difficult except on
the humble ones, Those who believe that they will meet their Lord and that they to Him will
return. (QS. Al Baqarah :45-46)

Asking for God's help will not be easy except for those who are khusyu '. People who khusyu
'means those who believe that in prayer will meet Allah SWT and one day will return to
Allah SWT.
When a person believes that their life will return to Allah SWT, then no matter how big the
problem faced, everything becomes small, because the big business is preparing for the
hereafter.
14. Believe that God tests a servant according to his ability.
For a Muslim, they must believe that God will not test Allah's creatures beyond their limits.
(Does) not burden Allah any soul except its capacity, for it what it earned, and against it
what it earned. (QS Al Baqarah : 286)

"Not necessarily a Muslim insulted himself. The companions asked, "How to insult him,
Rasulullah?" The Prophet replied, engage in examines and trials that he can not bear to
suffer. " (Narrated by Ahmad and Tirmidzi)
"It is not from our group who slapped his cheeks and tear off his shirt let alone pray with
jahiliyyah prayers." (Narrated by Bukhari)

15. Pleased with the favor of Allah that a lot or a little

Verily, Allah Azza Wajalla test his/her servant in the provision of God to him/her. If he/she is
pleased with the part he/she receives then God will bless him/her and extend his gift. If he/she
is not pleased with his/her gift then God will not give him/her a blessing. (Narrated by
Bukhari)

16. Patience to remove sins

"No believer is afflicted with pain, fatigue, suffering from illness or sorrow (distress) until the
thorny thorns (his body) except that Allah removes his sins." (Narrated by Bukhari)
"Whoever is get disaster in his treasure or in himself and keep it secret and does not
complain it to anyone it becomes the right of God to forgive him." (Narrated by Ath-
Thabrani)
17. Heaven for the patient
"Whoever Allah wills with kindness will be put to the test." (Narrated by Bukhari)
"Verily Allah 'Azza wajalla when loving a people of God to test them. Whoever be patient
then for him /her the benefit of his/her patience and whosoever wrath hath to him the wrath
of God. (HR Tirmidzi)
Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while Allah has not yet made evident those who
strove hard among you and made evident the steadfast. (QS Ali Imran : 142)
18. Gain the reward of patience
Or (do) you think that you will enter Paradise while not (has) come to you like (came to)
those who passed away from before you? Touched them [the] adversity and [the] hardship,
and they were shaken until said the Messenger and those who believed with him, "When
[will] (the) help (of) Allah (come) Unquestionably, [Indeed] help (of) Allah (is) near. (QS Al
Baqarah :214)
Sa'ad bin Abi Waqqash said, "I asked the Messenger of Allah, "O Messenger of Allah, who is
the one who has the greatest test and the culprit?". The Prophet Saw replied, "The prophets
then imitate (resemble) them and who imitate (resemble) them. Someone is tested according
to the levels of religion. If his religion is thin (weak) he is tested accordingly (lightly) and
when his faith is firm he is tested accordingly (hard). One is tested constantly so that he
walks the earth clean of sins. (Narrated by Bukhari)
"A servant has a degree in heaven. When he can not attain it with his good deeds then Allah
tests and tries it so that he reaches that degree. "(Narrated by Ath-Thabrani)
"When I test my servant with blindfolded eyes, and he endures, I will keep his eyes in heaven.
(Narrated by Ahmad)
"One of them would rather have trials and test than one of you (pleased) to receive gifts."
(Narrated by Abu Ya'la)
19. Know the truth of faith
Do think the people that they will be left because they say, "We believe" and they will not be
tested? And indeed, We tested those who (were) before them. And Allah will surely make
evident those who (are) truthful and He will surely make evident the liars. (QS Al Ankabut :
2-3)
20. Convinced the world is a test spot
So that we will be ready to live hard (which is not according to desire) with full sacrifice. We
will be sincere (because God is not because of the people we hate), can still smile and do
good to those who oppress us. We will be able to have personalities like the Prophets and
Apostles.
"There is nothing that can exacerbate the weights of a believer on the Day of Judgment other
than his moral goodness." (Narrated by Tirmidzi)
Every soul (will) taste [the] death. And We test you with [the] bad and [the] good (as) a trial;
and to Us you will be returned. (Qs. al-Anbiya: 35).
