The Light of Intellect Recognises the True Favour of Allāh


 Ibn al-Qayyim (رحمه الله) said:

 فإنّ من لم يرَ نعمة الله عليه إلا في مأكله ومشربه وعافية بدنه فليس له نصيبٌ مِن العقل البتة، فنعمة الله بالإسلام و الإيمان، و جذب عبده إلى الإقبال عليه، و التلذذ بطاعته هي أعظم النعم، و هذا إنما يُدرك بنور العقل، وهداية التوفيق.

He who does not see the favour of Allāh upon him except in his food, drink and well-being of his body, then he has no share of intellect at all. For the favour of Allāh with Islām and Īmān, drawing His servant to turn towards Him, and finding pleasure in His obedience, this is the greatest of favours, and this is grasped through the light of intellect and [receiving] the guidance of success.
