Spiritual Disease and Its Cure by Imam Shams-ud-Deen Muhammad bin Abi Bakr bin Qayyim AlJ awziyyah

No blessing is removed from a Servant of Allah ~ except by his/her own misdeeds; and no misfortune or punishment befalls him/her but from his/her own sins. Ali bin Abi Talib ~ said: "No affliction comes down except due to a sin , and it is not removed except with repentance", for Allah ~ said: (Whatever of misfortune befalls you, it is because of what your hands have earned. And He pardons much Y He ~ also said: ( That is so because Allah will never change a Grace which He has bestowed on a people until they change what is in themselves. ) 2 Allah ~ informs us that He will not change the Blessings, which He ~ has bestowed upon His Servant, unless His Servant changes them for him/her self. But a sinner changes obedience to Allah into disobedience, thankfulness for the Blessings of Allah into ungratefulness towards Him ~' and the causes that lead to Allah's Pleasure into those that cause His Curse. Allah ~ said: (Verily, Allah will not change the (good) condition of a people as long as they do not change their state themselves (by continuing to commit sins and be ungrateful and disobedient to Allah)) 3
