The Lifeline: Seeking help through patience (Sabr) and prayer (Salah).

The Insight

When faced with distress, use prayer as your immediate lifeline, not just a routine obligation. Patience here means persistent effort and perseverance toward your goals, not passive waiting.

The Twin Tools: Seeking divine aid through perseverance and prayer.

The Insight

Believers are advised to seek assistance through the dual power of **patience** (*sabr*) and **prayer** (*salah*). During trials, double down on these tools. When faced with stress, do not retreat into anxiety; instead, combine inner spiritual strength (patience) with the focused connection of prayer (salah) for immediate relief.
