 شعرت شموس الهدي بالكلمات فأنا رت الأفهم بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم وصرات والسرام على سيدنا ونبينا محمد وعلى آل بيته الطيبين الطاهرين واللعنة الدائمة على عدائهم أجمعين among the most important necessity seminary students need or all human beings in general in their lifespan regardless of their professions and their origins we need to have tolerance there are two verses in The Holy Qur'an among other verses that covers the specific subject the verse where the almighty Allah addresses بصفة الهالية في سنة 94 صورة الإنشراح والرليف الله يقول ألم نشرح لك صدرك meaning did we not expand your chest expanding the chest refers to an Arabic allegory which represents tolerance the greatness of this blessing that Allah granted his beloved messenger is represented in the fact that Allah has named the entire chapter in the Quran by the name the relief الإنشراح there is a discussion which we must discuss in other occasion which is about the names of the Quranic chapters for instance why is chapter 2 in the Holy Quran named the cow there is a theory about the naming of the chapters it requires verification and more subsenation the abstract of this theory is that each name in the chapter of the Quran represents a central core and an angle that the chapter addresses and covers just like a lecture it needs a hypothesis and a core and any book has a hypothesis and a core the Quranic chapters are all the same where all the verses in the Holy Quran are revolved around that core issue therefore the 2nd chapter of the Quran has a hypothesis and a core and this core revolves around the story of the cow in any case the reasons and rationales behind the naming of chapters require another discussion we will just point out that the naming of each chapter outlines a core angle that is found within that chapter another theory states that the name of each chapter reflects the general subject carried by the contents of that chapter it is widely accepted that each name of a Quranic chapter must have a great importance that led to the sentence of that name we have a chapter in the Holy Quran that is named the relief الله سبحانه وتعالى says did we not expand your chest in this verse الله has speaking to the prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him the verse refers to the notion of tolerance this is a blessing that Allah has granted his holy prophet ووضعنا عن كوزرك and we removed from you your burden الذي انقظ ظهرك which has weighed upon your back ورفعنا لك ذكرك and has raised your repute up high we realize an orderly sequence that exists in those three verses and the first one is that the fact that Allah has expanded the chest of the prophet and granted him with tolerance the second one is that and he removed and we removed from you your burden which has led upon your weight which has weighted upon your back burden is also defined as weight which means Allah has lifted the weights from his messenger imagine managing a family consisting of three members we are talking about here a complete and proper management unlike parents who neglect their families and children you only want to manage a family that has three members how much would the parents bear and suffer for the sake of this family some children actually they tire their parents and truly some parents age older because of their children and it is a great responsibility the prophethood which is the greatest responsibility and obligation in history in the universe it is a responsibility that is guiding mankind until the day of resurrection in that complicated environment which has filled with contradictions how did the prophet لأنهم أردت لفتحية هذا العالم وهاسر هالك بالحديث وما يجب أن تستطيع أن تستطيع الإخطاب والإبداع والإربية والإرادة الإسلامية كيف أردت للفتحية العالمية للإهداء بإمكانهم أن تهالف هذه العالم وكيف كانهم فتحية منه؟ فأين لديك أجل منه؟ ما كان السبب المستيقى بفريق تلك السبتة وفتيتها؟ هل فتيتها من الآخر، أو كان هذا يعني؟ هل فتيتها من الآخر، أو كان هذا يعني؟ أو فتيتها من الآخر، أو كان هذا ما يعني؟ أنه يبدو أنه مدني لكي يصدقاء جملة من الله سبحانه وتعالى سيكولوجيا من الله سبحانه وتعالى في حالة حرية سبباً أنها مرحباً و الله سبحانه وتعالى يجب أن يفتح بردنه لأنه كان مرحباً لأن حرية حرية لم يفتح لقد كانوا مجموعة بسبب رسولته ومساعدته لذلك، كيف يجب أن يفتح بردنه ورفعنا عنك وزرك الذي انقض ظهرك ونرى منك بردنك التي كانت مرحباً على مرحبك عندما يجب أن تفتح بردنه يجب أن يفتح بردنه في العربية يسمى أنقضة المرحب كان يمتح بردنه لأنه كانت مرحباً ومرحباً أمان مع كبيراً يجب أن يجب أن يفتح بردنه ومرحباً دعنا نحن نظر هنا يجب أن تفتح بردنه ومرحباً في العربية ستشاعد أن المرحب يتفتح ونحن يكون مرحباً في المرحب وإذا كنت تفتح كثيراً المرحب سيتفتح لكن يجب أن يجب كثيراً كثيراً في المرحب المرحب سيتفتح ونحن يجب أن تفتح بردنه لا one has a life free of hassles does a scholar live without hardships does a woman live without hardships does a man live without hardships does a merchant live without hardships everyone has hardships yet by having a great and tolerant heart those hardships can be contained if we were able to use a realistic example for this notion it would be best to represent or to present through a weak and strong body so a person with a weak body was once told by his physician that you should not even lift a book a book with 100 pages he could not lift he did not have the strength to lift that book but there are people who are able to pick up 100 kilos of weight so the issue of lifting itself is not the problem the person who is lifting heavy weight has a physical capability and bears the weight a great and tolerant heart is similar to that example regardless of the size and the extent of a problem the heart will always be bigger and stronger sometimes it would appear that those people they don't even have hardships hardships don't even exist in that person's life look at the great people in history who have a great and tolerant heart it seems like that they don't have any problems and the hardships in their lives yet they actually through the most difficult and challenging hardships this is how the heart of a tolerant becomes therefore the first step we have to learn is to keep our hearts big in other words our chest relief as what the Holy Quran says and describes شرح الصدر meaning being tolerant the second stage is lifting your burdens as described earlier the concept of lifting those burdens can be internal in nature with psychological aspects where the burdens and weight are not felt by the person in addition the lifting can be external as well which basically means hardships and burdens are not felt by the person or will collapse before the person who has tolerance the third stage ورفعنا لك ذكرك and raised high for you your repute let's pay attention to the blessings that Allah has granted His Holy Prophet Allah has given His Divine Name to the Prophet in the two testimonies of Islam which any person testifying to Islam must testify to are لا إله إلا الله meaning no God بأ الله ومحمد رسول الله ومحمد is the messenger of Allah you find the same in the أذان انت شهد during your prayers as they both contain the two testimonies of Islam the Quran also states that the same association it states obey Allah and obey the messenger another verse states and says that Allah and His messenger has enriched them of His bounty there are these three stages tolerance ساعة الصدر lifting the burdens وضع الوزر and the third stage elevating repute ورفع الذكر these three stages are sequential stages and the Quranic verses which we mentioned addresses the notion of expanding the chest tolerance we also have in another verse that the Holy Quran addresses the opposite notion the Almighty Allah states in His Holy Book the translation of this verse He makes His chest tight constricted as He were climbing into the skies this applies to some individuals it is said that this verse is one of the miracles of the Holy Quran as this verse was not well understood until science came along and has clarified its meaning modern science states that the breathable air is layered by pressure and therefore we are able to breathe however at a higher altitude the destiny and pressure of air decreases and this results in having difficulty breathing hence if someone goes up several kilometers up high he or she is not able to breathe and this was not a familiar concept in the previous era because breathing will be very difficult and if one continues to go up higher breathing will be so difficult that one will fade and Allah said in the Quran the verse He says He makes His chest tight constricted through as He were climbing into the sky this verse is truly amazing because even the pronunciation of this verse it's like trying to breathe with little oxygen the word يصعدو which means to ascend to the sky in Arabic it's actually difficult to pronounce there are some people who cannot tolerate anything they cannot tolerate their kids they cannot tolerate their home they cannot tolerate society they cannot tolerate customers they can't tolerate anything similar to someone who has asthma they can't breathe they suffocate these Quranic verses which I mentioned those that speak of expanding the chest and constricting the chest represents the opposite side of this topic and there is another other Quranic verse that addresses this topic as well however we will move on to another topic is the scope and issue that requires tolerance we will mention them briefly firstly the intellectual aspect there was one man who left the seminary he was asked why did you leave the seminary of studying he said he was still a sheikh a clergy yet he did not attend classes anymore he replied saying I do not have stamina anymore gaining knowledge and studying requires seminar and tolerance imagining a person swamped with social problems and yet he or she has to come to the seminary and study a very hard concept like this the definition of literal interpolation literal interpolation is a suffocated seminary subject with the studies of Arabic literature and subjects and principles you have to find the difference the different definitions of literal interpretation there are four definitions the first definition has three proofs the first proofs have two rebuttals and the first rebuttal has two several debates and defenses do you really think that many people have patience for such a topic therefore you see many students that start studying with passion they gradually their passion weakens until suddenly they leave studying and they leave school gaining knowledge and studying requires a big tolerant heart this is the first aspect the second aspect is the supplicatory aspect the devotional side of prayers and supplications devotion and prayer requires a great and tolerant heart for instance one of the scholars of Bahrain tells a heartbreaking story he says i never used to perform the recommended prayers after the obligation prayers so he never used to perform those prayers because it requires devotion imagine you have to pray your recommended prayer the obligatory one and then the recommended one so he said that i never used to pray those prayers until one day i was led in a masjid to pray salat jama'a and i witnessed a smith he prayed those nawafil those recommended prayers he said i don't do anything all day all i do is read or grab a pen and a pencil and write and this smith who works in very hard and hot temperatures has the ability and the devotion to actually pray those nawafil those recommended prayers have you seen how bakers and black smith suffer in the holy month of ramadan yet they still have to pray the nawafil the morning nawafil and he said i don't perform them and i'm just a scholar who reads books from that day he began praying the nawafil prayers after his obligatory salat indeed such people are a testament against us on the day of judgment one student once came to a scholar and he told him i have difficulty waking up for the morning salat for the salat subh the morning prayers at 6am how can i solve this issue the scholar replied to him and he said to him once you wake up at 6am remember that there are people who are awake at 3am studying and praying supplicating from now on if you wake up at 6am always keep in your mind that there is someone who is awake at 3am and if you are awake at 3am to study and supplicate remember that there is someone who is awake from midnight till morning studying and supplicating وفوق كل ذي علم عليم therefore no matter how much a person works and strives there is always someone who works more it is said that one of the great verses in the holy Quran regarding the recommendation of gaining knowledge وفوق كل ذي علم عليم over every processor of knowledge is one more knowing may Allah have mercy on him he said it on a motivational statement he said we have ran our entire lives and haven't gotten anywhere I wonder where the people who haven't ran at all be this is a believer's sense of feeling it means that a few as a believer ran and dedicated his entire life and became the most knowledgeable scholar he must remember that above him exist a one more knowledgeable scholar وفوق كل ذي علم عليم those who have achieved their goals were like us one day إمام صادق عليه السلام said upon what bases have you established your affairs some established their affairs based on the notion that they will endure everything and other established their affairs and others established their bases are not enduring anything this was the second point the intellectual aspect and the supplicatory aspect both require a tolerant and great big heart this was the second point the intellectual aspect and the supplicatory aspect both require great and tolerant hearts thirdly the administrational aspect also requires a great and tolerant heart إمام عليه السلام tells his companion كميل بن زياد إمام عليه السلام says to كميل بن زياد إن هذه القلوب أوعية these hearts and vessels are the best one of them are the ones containing the containing mentioned in this القلوب can be academic and one can be practical one must establish and build upon endurance and tolerance he or she should establish her house her husband the children the society there is a great scholar who lived around 100 years ago the story was narrated by a student of his who is also a scholar he said that his scholar suffered with his spouse some of us we have issues with our spouse and yet we get tired and yet we don't have tolerance we don't understand the basics of life but he had a problem with his spouse but he was willing to cooperate we tend to expect that others should understand us fully this is unrealistic this would be similar to expecting an infant to comprehend the same way as an adult will this will never happen the scholar says that this what his wife doomed his life to an extent that she consumed half of his life yet he was very tolerant with her and the story that was narrated about the scholar the student says that his wife was obsessed with extreme subsistence she did not trust anyone or believe anyone but her husband who is a scholar apparently and apparently she seemed that she was ill and she was managing and he was managing her affairs and needs therefore the scholar spent half of his life meeting the needs of his wife and addressing to them for example one of them that was mentioned they lived in Najaf and they had a very deep basement and in that basement there was a big container of water so the wife came to a point where she assumed that the water in the container is impure so she came up with an idea to bring that container and to purify it and then return it back so it needed a handyman to be hired to lift it up that heavy container of water to the courtyard and then to purify it then for a moment she was like what if that handyman's shoes and feet are dirty and it's impure his hands might be impure therefore the whole entire house will be impure so and she's very thin so she said to her husband that you have to go down to the basement bring that container of water to the courtyard purify it and return it back how many of us can handle that this is a scholar but he had a big and tolerant heart others might not be like the scholar and others may end up divorcing their wife wasn't the prophet capable to divorce a couple of his wives in the early days of his marriage the society has certain expectations and society does not comprehend that you might have hardships in life nonetheless society might put pressure on a person with expectations by not having a great and tolerant heart that one would not be able to tolerant and endure the society and its challenges and it is narrated that there is one scholar named شيخ زين العابدين المازن دراني once he was on his way to visit Imam al-Hussain and a poor man a beggar came up to him and approached him and he said to him that I want money and that man was from the progeny of Imam al-Hussain so he was a sayid and he asked him for some money now the شيخ سرامان my way to the ziyarah and I don't have money with me however once I'm done from my ziyarah come to my house and I will give you money that beggar did not leave the شيخ he kept begging and begging until he got mad and he had no patience that he spat on the شيخ's face the people who were around the شيخ wanted to discipline him the شيخ said no leave him that spit that he spat on me is from a sayid someone from the progeny of Rasulullah therefore my face will not be burnt in fire in hell imagine what kind of tolerance this scholar had once Allah said go to Pharaoh he said therefore we have the intellectual aspects of tolerance the supplicatory aspects and the administrational aspects in general in life we need to be tolerant and we need to have a big heart we ask Allah the almighty to aid us with the path على سيدنا ونبينا محمد وعلى أري بيتي الطيبين الطاهرة الفرد الذي له قلب كبير كل ما يواجه من المشكلات وكل ما يواجه من الأثقاء
