As-Sabur

The Timeless, The Patient

As-Sabur

The Patient, The One who does not quickly punish the sinners.

Allah is As-Sabur, The One who is most patient and enduring. He does not act in a hastily manner but rather waits until the proper time. He does not punish the disobedient and unbelievers, he allows time for them to repent or an opportunity to take the right path.
