Ibn al-Qayyim on the
Origin of Diseases, Calamities and Hardships
Ibn al-Qayyim (رَحِمَهُ
اللهُ) said:
“For Allāh, the Sublime, with
His wisdom (ḥikmah) and justice (ʿadl) makes the (consequences) of the
actions of the servants to appear to them
in forms (ṣūwar) that are
appropriate to (their actions). So sometimes it is in the form of a drought or
barrenness (of land). Other times it is by way of an enemy. Other times by way
of tyrannical rulers. Other times by way of general diseases. Other times it is
by anxiety, grief and worry that (settle and) reside in their souls and do not
leave them. Other times it is by preventing the blessings from the sky and the Earth from them. Other times it is by unleashing the devils upon them to
incite them to the causes of their destruction, so that His word can be
established upon them and so that each of them arrives at the outcome destined
for him. The intelligent (ʿāqil) traverses with his insight (baṣīrah) in all regions of the world and witnesses this, and he
sees the occurrence (of these instances) of Allāh’s justice and wisdom taking place.”1
