▪️Shaykh Ul-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said:
“He knows that if he shows patience, Allāh will be his aider without doubt, for Allāh is The Protector (Wakīl) of everyone who is patient and who consigns the affair of his oppressor to Allāh ﷻ.
But whoever seeks to further his own cause in aid of his self, Allāh will entrust him to his own self. Thus, he will be the aider of his soul.
So where is the one whose aider is Allāh, the best of aiders compared to the one whose aider is his own self, the most incapable and weakest of aiders?”
