 
Ad-DarrThe Creator of the Harmful |
|
If We let man taste some of Our grace
and then take it away from him -- behold, he abandons all hope, forgetting all gratitude for Our past favours. And thus it is: if We let him taste ease and plenty after hardship has visited him, he is sure to say, "Gone is all affliction from me!" -- for, behold, he is given to vain exultation, and glories only in himself. And thus it is with most men -- save those who are patient in adversity and do righteous deeds: it is they whom forgiveness of sins awaits, and a great reward. Hud 11:9-11, tr. Asad |
