179.Young man, if you are mindful about Allah He will be mindful of you, and if you are mindful of Allah you will find Him before you. When you ask for anything ask it from Allah, and if you seek help seek in Allah. Know that if the people were to unite to do you some benefit they could benefit you only with what Allah had recorded for you and that if they were to unite to do you some injury they could injure you only with what Allah had recorded for you. The pens are withdrawn and the pages are dry.
