Not all patience is beautiful.

The Quran gives us a rare command:
"فَٱصْبِرْ صَبْرًا جَمِيلًا"
“Then, endure with a beautiful patience.” (70:5)

What is Ṣabr Jamīl—and why is it only mentioned for Prophets? Ṣabr isn’t passive. It’s not just surviving.

The root imagery in Arabic suggests:
- Seeds piling high
- Ice holding firm
- A cork sealing in pressure

Ṣabr is resilience. Grit. Holding your ground.
