The Holy Quran 2:45 — Surah Al-Baqarah

Arabic text

وَٱسْتَعِينُوا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ وَٱلصَّلَوٰةِ ۚ وَإِنَّهَا لَكَبِيرَةٌ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱلْخَـٰشِعِينَ

Translation

Seek assistance with sabr and salaah. Without doubt, this is difficult, except for the humble ones (those who fear Allaah).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
