Quran For You
The prophet PBUH stated in the Hadith collected by Muslim [223]: “…Prayer is Light and charity is a Proof and patience is illumination…” Shaikh Fawzan mentioned the obligatory prayer and supererogatory prayer are light in the face hence you find darkness in the face of those who are negligent of the prayer, as for those who guard their prayers then you find light and illumination on their faces.
Giving charity is the proof upon truthfulness of a person Emaan, since no one will be generous with their wealth except a believer.
Patience is Illumination and its 3 types:
1: Patience upon obedience to Allah.
It is binding upon the servant to persist upon worship
even if is difficult upon him, since worship is not easy. It requires patience. The one who prays
5 times everyday and the night prayer require patience. As for the one without this type of patience he will not end up continuing worship.
2: Patience in staying away from Haraam.
No doubt desires and the haram are desired by the individual, however a servant remains patient and refrains from them and does not be misled by the great numbers of people who are following those desires and performing the haram.
3: Patience upon difficulties of the decree.

3: Patience upon difficulties of the decree.
A believer remains patient if difficulty overcomes him in his wealth or in his own self (health etc), or in his family or relatives. He does not become upset and depressed, rather he is content and patient upon the decree of Allah”
