In the library's own words

How the scholars invoke Aṣ-Ṣabūr.

  1. "To proceed: Indeed, faith comprises two halves: half of it is patience, and the other half is gratitude. These are attributes of Allah, the Almighty, as He named Himself "The Patient" (al-Sabur) and "The Appreciative" (al-Shakur). Ignorance of the true nature of patience and gratitude is ignorance of both halves of faith."

    — Imam al-Ghazali, Book 32: Patience and Gratitude · playable in the free preview
