“When Allah intends good for a person, He will make him drink the ‘medicine’ of tests and trials, so that the person vomits out dangerous illnesses that were within him. When the servant is cleansed and purified, Allah qualifies him for the noblest rank of the world: the worship of Allah, and the loftiest reward of the hereafter: seeing Allah and enjoying His closeness.” – Ibn al-Qayyim (raḥimahullāh)
