Which of the favours of Thy Lord do you deny? (4)

by Imâm Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah
(Reminder 4)



Ibn Abi’d-Dunyâ said:

It was narrated to me that some scholars said: ‘The scholar should praise Allâh for having deprived him of the luxuries of this life, in the same way that he should praise Him for what He has bestowed upon him. How can you compare the blessings & luxuries for which he will be accountable to the deprivation of luxuries which is a relief from being tested, & which keeps his mind free to worship & remember Allâh? So he should give thanks to Allâh for all of that.’”
