This article examines the English equivalents of the Arabic concept of patience and their linguistic interpretations. The article explores the problems of translating the meaning of the word “Sabr – patience” into English and analyzes how it is rendered in different dictionaries. Based on the opinions of linguists and translation experts, it is argued that the translated equivalents of “Sabr” - for example, “patience”, “endurance”, “fortitude” - often do not fully reflect its meaning in Arabic. The article explores the deep spiritual and cultural aspects of “patience”, and provides specific examples of this concept and their linguistic analysis.
