\u2018The Patience therein has four branches: striving for good, fear, restraint and vigilance. One who has a longing for paradise forgets the worldly desires. One who has fear of hell abstains from unlawful things. One who exercises restraint in worldly matters the worldly hardships become easier for him, and one who is vigilant of death hastens to good deeds. \n \u2018The Certainty therein is also of four branches.

They consist of sharp understanding, proper application of wisdom, recognising good lessons and knowledge of the traditions of the people of the past. One who possesses sharp understanding recognises the matters of wisdom. One who applies wisdom properly recognises the good lessons, and one who recognises the good lessons recognises the traditions, and one who recognises traditions is like the one who has lived with the people of the past and has found proper and firm guidance.

He has seen who found salvation and through which means they (previous ones) found. He has also seen those who were destroyed and things that destroyed them. Allah -azwj Destroys only those who disobey Him -azwj and Grants salvation for the ones (who seek) obedience to His -azwj commands. \n \u2018The Justice therein is also of four branches. It is a matter of deep understanding, a huge body of knowledge, the bloom of wisdom and the garden of forbearance.

One who has deep understanding has the ability to interpret all knowledge. One who has a huge body of knowledge knows the ways of wisdom, and one who is forbearing is not an extremist in his decrees and lives among the people with a good name. \n \u2018The Jihad therein, is also of four branches. They consist of helping others to perform their duties and to stay away from that, which is prohibited, to speak the truth whenever needed and to shun sins and sinners.

One who helps others to perform their duties has supported the believer. One who helps stop others from sinning has humiliated the hypocrites and has thwarted their wicked plans. One who speaks the truth at the right time, his is the winning side. One who shuns the sinners has used anger for Allah -azwj . One who becomes angry for Allah -azwj , Allah -azwj becomes angry for him.
