God Almighty has allotted you love and placed it in the hearts of the people of His kingdom. To Him be thanks and praise from us and from you, so that He may increase His blessings upon you and upon us through you. Know, O King, that man can do nothing except by the command of God Almighty, and He is the Giver, and all good that comes to a person ultimately returns to Him. He distributes blessings among His servants as He wills. Some He gives many gifts, some He keeps busy with earning their sustenance, and some He makes detached from worldly desires and longing for Him, for He is the One who said: ‘I am the One who harms and benefits; I heal and I make ill; I enrich and I impoverish; I give life and I cause death; everything is in My hands, and to Me is the final return.’ Therefore, it is incumbent upon all people to thank Him.”
