Surah Al-Muddaththir 74: - (The Enveloped One)
This Surah is Makki. It contains 56 verses and 2 sections
With the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Very-Merciful

and for the sake of your Lord, observe patience. [7]

COMMENTARY: (and for the sake of your Lord, observe patience…74:7). The word Sabr literally signifies 'to restrain oneself. In the Quranic context, the word has a very wide scope. It signifies to bind oneself to the laws of Allah, to restrain oneself from things made unlawful by Allah, and to control oneself, as far as possible, from unnecessary bewailing and complaining in times of difficulties and hardships. Thus this injunction is rather comprehensive which embraces almost the entire religion.

On this occasion, the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam) is directed to observe patience, particularly because the earlier verses have directed him to invite the people towards the true faith and to avoid the infidelity and Shirk. It is obvious that he will be opposed and persecuted by the forces of evil, as the result of his missionary efforts. He should, therefore, be ready to bear all opposition and persecution with patience and fortitude.
