Dear Brother / Sister,
Yes, one who is patient can get closer to Allah Almighty. In regard with patience in the Holy Qur’an it is stated that:
“O you who believe! Seek help with patient perseverance and prayer; for Allah is with those who patiently persevere.” (Al-Baqarah, 2/153)
The end of patience is peace and progress. Patience is bitter, but the result is sweet.
Our Prophet (pbuh) implies the importance of patience as follows:
“Those who are patient reach accomplishment.”
“Patience is the key of success.”
“Patience is a light.”
“Patience is a treasury among Paradise Treasuries.”
“There is so much auspicious in being patient during the hardship.”
