I saw one in someone`s signature. It was about patience. Surely there are others that could apply to our situation.

My keyboard is acting stupid and the apostrophe key is acting like the tab key, in that it moves the cursor somewhere else, and the keys that move the cursor - like home, end, and the directional keys - are not doing anything. Look at the first sentence, that is not a normal apostrophe. The only upside is I now know the correct spelling of "apostrophe" because of the built-in spellchecker. I could scream, the quote marks are on the same key and TheY are working.

Us and Our refers to everyone on VJ, not just me and my fiance. And now the keys are all working properly.

"Be patient, for your patience is with the help of Allah." (16:127)

"Seek Allah's help with patient perseverance and prayer. It is indeed hard except for those who are humble." (2:45)

"Be sure We shall test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss in goods, lives, and the fruits of your toil. But give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere. Those who say, when afflicted with calamity, 'To Allah we belong, and to Him is our return.' They are those on whom descend blessings from their Lord, and mercy. They are the ones who receive guidance." (2:155-157)

"Oh you who believe! Persevere in patience and constancy. Vie in such perseverance, strengthen each other, and be pious, that you may prosper." (3:200)

"And be steadfast in patience, for verily Allah will not suffer the reward of the righteous to perish." (11:115)

"Patiently, then, persevere - for the Promise of Allah is true, and ask forgiveness for your faults, and celebrate the praises of your Lord in the evening and in the morning." (40:55)

"No one will be granted such goodness except those who exercise patience and self-restraint, none but persons of the greatest good fortune." (41:35)

"Verily man is in loss, except such as have faith, and do righteous deeds, and join together in the mutual enjoining of truth, and of patience and constancy." (103:2-3)

"Indeed God is with those who are patient"

Good to remember if one is missing being with their spouse.....you're not alone.....God is with you.

Ye shall certainly be tried and tested. In your posessions and in your personal selves. And ye shall certainly hear much that will greive you from those who received the book before you and from those who worship many Gods but if ye persevere patiently and guard against evil then that will be the determining factor in all affairs. (3:186)

Follow thou the inspiration sent unto thee and be patient and constant till God do decide for he is the best to decide (10:109)

similar to some already stated but my favorite

..."and verily with every hardship comes relief, verily with every hardship comes relief." (94:5-6)

[Mrs. Beasley 7]

"No reason have we why we should not put our trust on Allah. Indeed He Has guided us to the Ways we (follow). We shall certainly bear with patience all the hurt you may cause us. For those who put their trust should put their trust on Allah." (14:12)

When I started this thread, I did not know our consulate would close because someone wanted to blow it up. Not all petitioners with a Moroccan SO convert to Islam or were Muslim to begin with. But even then, it wouldn't hurt to think about these quotes even if they swap in their own concept of God for the Islamic one.

I think this topic is even more important than it was two weeks ago. At least, it is for me?

So very true.... Who do we have to lean on now if not Allah...God, however you worship from him comes the only true peace!!!

[Mrs. Beasley 7]

Everything that is going wrong in your life today shall be well with you this year. No matter how much your enemies try this year, "they will not" succeed. You have been destined to make it and you shall surely achieve all your goals this year. For the remaining months of this year (2007), all your agonies will be diverted and victory and prosperity will be incoming in abundance. Today God has confirmed the end of your sufferings, sorrows, and pains because HE that sits on the throne has remembered you. He has taken away the hardships and given you JOY. He will never let you down. I knocked at heaven's door this morning, God asked me... My child! What can I do for you? And I said, "Father, please protect and bless the person reading this message"... God smiled and answered... Request granted.

This isn't from the Quran but it helps me on those days where I just don't think I can do it anymore...and not just for visa related stuff. lol

The Messenger of Allah ( peace be upon him) said: Whoever says - upon going out of his home: Bismillah, tawakkaltu `ala 'allah, la hawla wa la quwwata 'illa bil-lahi ta`ala[ I put my trust in Allah, there is neither might nor strength, except by Allah, the Most High] , it is aid to him 'You have been sufficed, protected, and guided, and the shaytan would move aside from him, then say to another shaytan: What access do you have to a man that has been guided, sufficed, and protected?"

Reported by Abu dawood, An-Nisa'ee , and At-Tirmithi

The part in this that helps me the most is the reaffirmation that the only might or strength that I get is from Him. It really takes the edge off knowing I don't have to muster any of that up myself!
