الصَّبُورُ
As-sabur
1. Explanation of the Name
As-Ṣabūr (ٱلصَّبُورُ) comes from the root
ص-ب-ر (Ṣ-B-R), meaning “to endure,” “to persevere,” and “to show patience.” This Name proclaims that Allah is
The Ever-Patient, whose forbearance encompasses every fault and weakness in His creation.
As The One Who Bears All with Perfect Patience, He never hastens punishment but grants time and opportunity for repentance and growth.
2. About This Name
As-Ṣabūr appears in the Qur’an to remind us that Allah’s mercy is vast and His patience never runs out.
— Qur’an 18 : 58
Invoking As-Ṣabūr reassures us that our mistakes do not exhaust His mercy, and that He gives us space to return to Him.
3. Spiritual Reflection
Reflecting on As-Ṣabūr encourages us to cultivate patience in our own lives—toward trials, others, and ourselves.
— Qur’an 2 : 153
When you feel impatience rising, pause and softly say “Yā Ṣabūr” to connect with Allah’s forbearance.
Notice one moment today when your patience is tested—a delay, a difficult conversation, or a silent struggle—and respond with calm perseverance as an act of devotion.
