“The doors of success have been closed upon the creation because of six things:
- Their busying themselves with the blessings of Allah instead of thanking Allah for them,
- their desire for knowledge while they abandon actions,
- the hastiness to sin and delaying repentance,
- the deception of having righteous companions and not taking them as examples,
- the turning away of the dunya from them while they chase it,
- and the approach of the afterlife towards them while they turn away from it.”
Taken from al-Fawaa’id by Ibn al Qayyim: Pg. 161
