PERSERVERANCE

 It is to be firm on an occupation, being patient until one sees the result of a good deed and not to change mind frequently.

 A tree grows and gives fruit when it remains on the place that it was planted. But it dies when it is extracted from that place and planted somewhere else. Man is like that. If he acts preserving on his job he becomes known in his circle and does good works.

 P erseverance is one of the habits that guide man to success in life. But someone who discontinues everything is of no use.

 But people should be preserving only on good deeds. The bad behaviors that Allah prohibited is not continued. Man should avoid them.

 A virtuous person continues to work without loosing his determination and energy on the way to attain maturity and endures to troubles and difficulty to acquire legitimate wishes. Perseverance is a result of firmness of disposition and mind; it is also an important cause to attain other virtues. Sometimes it substitutes ability and skill. Especially in the critical times of war which requires endurance and courage, perseverance is instead many weapons. (1)
