“So the servant is ALWAYS in need of his Lord,
from EVERY perspective. This is because He is the object of his worship, and
the source of all of his help. So no one can bring him any good except Him, and
nothing can better the situation of the servant except His worship. And on top
of all of this, the servant is sinning, and there is no way that he can avoid
this. So he is always in need, sinning, and he is in need of the One who always
Forgives, the One who is Ever-Merciful. The One who always Forgives
(al-Ghafoor) will Forgive his sins, and the Ever-Merciful will show him Mercy
and bless him and be kind to him. So the servant is eternally between the
blessings of his Lord and the sins of his soul.”
Ibn Taymiyyaah [d. 728H/1328CE]
