Imaam
Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) stated:
The unchangeable
observed law of Allah and His unalterable way is to enshroud a sincere person
with dignity, light and love in the hearts of the creatures and drawing their
hearts closer to him in proportion to his sincerity, intention and dealings
with his Lord. And He will cover an insincere person who puts on the garment of
falsehood with detestation, humiliation and revulsion that befit him.
Therefore, a sincere person will have dignity and love while the other will gain
abhorrence and hatred.
