Patience is often described as a core [[virtue]] in [[religion]] or [[spiritual]] [[practice]]s. For example, [[Book of Job|Job]] is a figure that appears in the [[Hebrew Bible]], [[Christian Bible]] and the [[Qur'an]]; his story is considered a [[profound]] religious [[work]]. At its core, the theme is the co-existence of [[evil]] and [[God]] and the application of patience is highlighted as the antidote to the earthly struggles caused by that co-existence. The plot of the [[book]] is that Job endures near-[[apocalyptic]] calamities without losing his patience or reproaching Divine [[Providence]]. In the [[Qur'an]], the person of Job is actually known as Ayyūb (Arabic: أيوب ), which is a name that is [[symbolic]] of the [[virtue]] of patience (although it does not mean patience in itself). | Patience is often described as a core [[virtue]] in [[religion]] or [[spiritual]] [[practice]]s.
