When Allah...

When Allah, the Glorified, wishes to remove a blessing from a servant, the first thing that He alters [and takes away from him] is his intellect, and losing it is the most difficult thing for him. 27ـ إذا أرادَ اللّهُ سُبْحانَهُ إزالَةَ نِعْمَة عَنْ عَبْد، كانَ أوَّلَ ما يُغَيَّرُ عَنْهُ عَقْلُهُ، وَأشَدُّ شَيْء عَلَيْهِ فَقْدُهُ.

Verily, one of the creatures most hated by Allah, the Exalted, is the man who has been left on his own [by Allah] and has strayed from the right path, moving on without a guide. 28ـ إنَّ مِنْ أبْغَضِ الخَلائِقِ إلَى اللّهِ تَعالى رَجُلاً وَكَلَهُ إلى نَفْسِهِ جائِراً عَنْ قَصْدِ السَّبيلِ سائِراً بِغَيْرِ دليل. A servant is a servant, even if he is assisted by [divine] destiny. 29ـ اَلْعَبْدُ عَبْدٌ،وَ إنْ ساعَدَهُ القَدَرُ. The beauty of a servant is [in his] obedience.
