When We bless man, he is disregardful and turns aside; but when an ill befalls him, he makes protracted supplications.
— Ali Quli Qarai
When We bestow favours on man, he turns away, and gets himself remote on his side (instead of coming to Us); and when evil seizes him, (he comes) full of prolonged prayer!
