Patience and Gratitude

This is an abridged translation of the classical text 'Uddat as-Sabirin wa dhakhirat ash-shakirin. The author explains the nature of sabr (patience) and shukr (gratitude) in a practical fashion and shows how these important spiritual values may be incorporated into one's everyday life. Although the original Arabic text was written over six centuries ago, the author's words are even more relevant today.
