From the words of our Shaykh, Yahya Al-Hajoori — may Allāh preserve him:

"By Allāh, how beautiful is patience in the path of da'wah. You may endure patiently to the point where the ignorant may mistake your patience for weakness — yet unbeknownst to you, the victory of Allāh arrives. As He said: ‘And We made from among them leaders guiding by Our command when they were patient.' [Surah As-Sajdah: 24]"
