Our Lord is the All-Encompassing Whose mercy encompasses all creation.
{...Your Lord is the possessor of infinite mercy...}
[Surat al-An‘ām: 147]
Allah Almighty has made His religion easy for people and removed undue restrictions and hardships from them. He eases the duties for the sick, the travelers, the elderly, and those who have valid excuses. He does not charge them with things beyond their capacity.
{...No soul is obligated beyond what it can bear...}
[Surat al-Baqarah: 233]
And he who finds the land restricted for him should know that Allah has made the land broad for His servants. He says:
{...And Allah’s earth is spacious...}
[Surat az-Zumar: 10]
The most encompassing favor Allah bestows upon His servants is patience. The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) is authentically reported to have said:
“Whoever tries to be patient, Allah will give him patience, and no one is given abetter or a more encompassing gift than patience.”
[Narrated by Al-Bukhāri -this is his wording -and Muslim]

[Narrated by Al - Bukhāri - this is his wording - and Muslim]
Patience is involved in all matters related to worship. A person needs patience to perform acts of obedience, refrain from sins, and endure the afflictions predestined for him. Indeed, our life requires patience all the way until we meet our Lord, Exalted be He.
Al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy upon him) said:“Patience is one of the treasures of goodness, which Allah does not give except to a servant who is honorable in His sight.”
“Patience is one of the treasures of goodness, which Allah does not give except to a servant who is honorable in His sight.”
O Allah, You succor Your servants after they become hopeless,
show mercy to those who extend their hands to You in total need and submission.
You have accustomed them to Your generous giving without a reason,
except for a good hope in You to which they are clinging.
O Allah, the All-Encompassing Bestower, give everyone of us more than what we have asked for; indeed, You are competent over everything.
