Patience and Prayer are two primary means of receiving the help we seek, for the Creator has commanded us to observe them and promised them to be the recipe for receiving help from him. Both are obligatory to observe and forbidden to neglect. As both are so important to our belief and lifestyle I have decided to compose this collection of Quranic ayat and hadith on patience and the virtues/rewards of prayer to serve as a reminder and tool so that we can increase the quality and quantity of our patience and prayers. Thereby the believing reader who reflects and remembers may potentially qualify for the divinely promised help that is better than what we ask and hope for.
