Patience is called chastity if it is associated with restraining a sexual desire.
Patience is called self-restraint if it refers to controlling one’s stomach.
When referring to refraining from disclosing what is better to keep secret, it is calledkeeping one’s secret.
If it consists of being content with what is sufficient for one’s needs, it is calledasceticism.
If it consists of being content of what someone has of worldly life, it is called self-content.
If it refers to controlling one’s nerves when angry, it is called forbearance.
When it refers to detesting from haste, it is called gracefulness.
If it refers to not fleeing or running away, it is called courage.
If it refers to refraining from taking revenge, it is called forgiveness.
If it refers to not being stingy, it is calledgenerosity.
When it refers to abstaining from food and drink for a specific period, it is called fasting.
If it consists of refraining from being helpless and lazy, it is called discretion.
If it refers to refraining from loading other people’s burden it is called chivalry.
In conclusion, patience has various names according to the situation it applies to, but all of them are included under patience. This indicates that all tenants and rites of Islam are associated with patience.
