Good Expectations


Whoever reflects upon this issue deeply will realize that having the best expectations from Allah is equivalent to having good deeds, and doing good with one’s soul. For only when a person expects the best from Allah will he perform good deeds, since he will expect that Allah will reward him for his deeds and accept them. Therefore, the reason that he performed these good deeds was because of his good expectations from Allah; so the more a person betters his expectations from Allah, the more good deeds he does! - Ibn al-Qayyim [d. 751H/1350CE] Al-Jawab al-Kafi, p. 23

  2. Good expectation of Allah is for one who repents, regrets his sins and desists from it
