From the beautiful words of the famous Imaam, describing the Greatness of Allah: The hearts
are unmasked to Him and the secret is unveiled. His giving and punishing is
merely a Command, "Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only
that He says to it, 'Be, and it is!'" [36:82]...
Every action that is not performed for His sake then it is wasted and severed. Every heart that does not reach Him is wretched, veiled from achieving its success and happiness....
...he sees every [good] that becomes easy for him to perform to be as a result of His Lords' Generosity and Beneficence. He sees everything that he dislikes being a result of his sins and His Lords' justice...
In this lies a great secret from the secrets of Tawheed. This is that the heart cannot become firm, it cannot find satisfaction and it cannot find tranquillity except by reaching out to Him....
