# Nasheeds about patience.

Five nasheeds about sabr: for the long trial, the path nobody else is walking, and the days you are holding on by a thread.

Our top pick is Abo Nidhal's voice-only **Until When Will I Remain Alone**, about staying on the path of truth however much you are mocked for it. The top nasheeds about patience also include **Sabr and Shukr** by Zain Bhikha, **Try Not to Cry** by Sami Yusuf, **Trials of Life** by Sami Yusuf and Al-Mutawari's English nasheed **Holding On**.

## Sabr is not silence

Patience in Islam is not pretending you are fine. Prophet Yaqub said, "I only complain of my grief and sorrow to Allah" (Quran 12:86), and still called his patience beautiful. The nasheeds below sit in that space: honest about the weight, steady about the hope.

Labels: Voice only means no musical instruments. With instruments tracks are included because they are loved, and we note where an official vocals-only version exists. From Aswati picks are released nasheeds by our own munshideen, Abo Nidhal and Al-Mutawari, and you can play them right here on Spotify or Apple Music.
