God observes the servants’ sins and their defiance against Prophets, against Imams and against the Holy Qur’an, but He restrains, from getting furious with them and does not haste in the chastisement of the wrong-doers; rather, He gives them a chance to repent.
A true God’s servant should be patient in the face of the misconducts of his wife, children, relatives, muslim brothers and sisters and other people. He should be sober and give them time to return to normal ways of life.
A God’s genuine servant will have benefited from this attribute of God (i.e. Patience), only if he is tolerant toward people and keeps patient in the face of hardships.
