Ibn Qayyim: The Complaint of the Ignorant against Allah SWT…

Al-Fudayl ibn Iyad said: “Whoever complains about a calamity which comes his way it is as if he has complained against his Lord.”

The ignorant people complain to people about Allah, and this is the highest degree of ignorance, for if he had known his Lord, he would not have complained about Him, and if he had known the people he would not have complained to them.

One of the predecessors saw a man complaining to another man about his poverty and dire necessity. He said to him, ‘O you! By Allah, you have done nothing but complain about He who has mercy for you, to the one who has no mercy for you’.
