And He says:

“Whoever does righteous deeds while being a believer need fear neither injustice nor loss.”
Surah Tā Hā, 112

And He says:

“Whoever desires the harvest of the Hereafter, We increase his harvest for him.”
Surah al-Shūrā, 20

There are many similar passages.

How, then, can anyone suppose or say that a servant draws near to Him as a servant and sincere lover draws near to his beloved and master, yet He neither brings him near to Himself nor draws near to him, but instead rebuffs and bars him—as a created being might do out of miserliness, to avoid harm, or for some other reason?

It is authentically reported from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in the collections of authentic hadith that he said:

“Allah rejoices more at His servant’s repentance than one of you does on seeing his mount when he finds it carrying his food and drink.”

He will not rejoice more at the penitent’s repentance than someone who recovers his food, drink, and mount after fearing death. How can He be portrayed as treating someone unjustly, rebuffing him, turning away from him, or thinking ill of him as masters do—and, by Allah’s right, through conduct characteristic of masters towards their slaves and of a beloved towards his lover? How can He be represented by their saying, “A sick man whom no one visits, and a seeker whom no one seeks”? Is there, among those who are sincere with Allah, a sick man whom no one visits? Has anyone sincerely sought Allah without Allah seeking him?
