Whatever Allah has decreed for His believing slave is a blessing

Ibn Qayyim رحمه الله

فقضاؤه لعبده المؤمن عطاء وإن كان في صورة المنع

ونعمة وإن كان في صورة محنة ،

وبلاؤه عافية وإن كان في صورة بلية

“Whatever Allah has decreed for His believing slave is a blessing even if that is in the form of withholding; it is a favor even if that is in the form of a trial, and the calamity decreed by Him is fair even if it is painful.”

— [Madarij al-Salikeen, 4/215]
