Holding a Burning Ember:
Navigating 21st Century Issues as a Muslim
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ
زَمَانٌ الصَّابِرُ فِيهِمْ عَلَى دِينِهِ كَالْقَابِضِ عَلَى الْجَمْرِ " .
Anas bin Malik narrated that the Messenger of Allah said:
"There shall come upon the people a time in which the one who is patient upon his religion will be like the one holding onto a burning ember." (Tirmidhi)
