There are two conflicting forces in man. The one force draws him towards the Deen and virtue, while the opposite force impels him towards evil and base desires.
Subduing the carnal force with the domination of the angelic force or the force of virtue is called Sabr.
The definition of Sabr is: Maintaining control of the Nafs by restraining its intemperate dictates of carnality and lust. The primary occasion for the adoption of Sabr is at the time of calamity, hardship and grief.
