The Holy Quran 8:46 — Surah Al-Anfal

Arabic text

وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ وَلَا تَنَـٰزَعُوا۟ فَتَفْشَلُوا۟ وَتَذْهَبَ رِيحُكُمْ ۖ وَٱصْبِرُوٓا۟ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ

Translation

Obey (the commands of) Allaah and His Rasool and do not fall into dispute (quarrels) with each other, for then you will become cowardly (weak) and your strength will be lost. Exercise sabr, for verily Allaah is with those who exercise sabr.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Patience and steadfastness are the key to success: bear with patience and steadfastness the hardships and adversities that come at the time of jihad, and do not lose heart.
