إِنَّكَ لَا تَهْدِي مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَلَٰكِنَّ اللَّهَ يَهْدِي مَن يَشَاءُ ۚ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِينَ
(القصص:56)

.رُبَّما أَعْطاكَ فَمَنَعَكَ وَرُبَّما مَنَعَكَ فأَعْطاكَ
.إن فتح لك باب الفهم في المنع عاد المنع عين العطاء
.إنَّما يُؤلِمُكَ المَنْعُ لِعَدَمِ فَهْمِكَ عَنِ اللهِ فيهِ
.رُبَّما فَتَحَ لَكَ بابَ الطّاعَةِ وَما فَتَحَ لَكَ بابَ القَبولِ وَرُبَّما قَضى عَلَيْكَ بِالذَّنْبِ فَكانَ سَبَبَاً في الوُصولِ
