According to the level of intention of the servant, his determination, his purpose and

his desire in the matter, He (Allah) will aid and grant him success. Therefore the aid

from Allah descends to the servants according to the level of their determination,

their firmness, their desire and their fear (of Him). Abandoning (of Allah) also

descends upon them according to that.

Allah is the most prudent of all judges and the best knower of all those who know.

He grants tawfiq (success) in the most suitable places for them, and forsaking in its

suitable times, and He is the most Knowledgeable, the most Wise.

No one has been abandoned except because he has deserted being thankful,

neglecting to resort to Him and supplicating to Him. No one has been victorious

through the will of Allah and His aid except by being thankful, and sincerely

resorting to Him and supplicating to Him. And the basis of all that is patience; and

its place in iman(faith) is on the same level of the head is to the body; if the head iscut off then the body will not remain.
