In Islam patient perseverance does not mean PASSIVELY accepting one’s hardships. The believer seeks the best way out of his difficulty, supplicates to Allah to accept his effort and have Tawakkul in Allah, to bless him with the outcome which is good for him.
Say, “O My servants who have believed, fear your Lord. For those who do good in this world is good, and the earth of Allah is spacious. Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account.” (Az-Zumar,10)
