"Be thankful to Allah. He has made this illness a thing to atone your sins because a disease in itself has nothing to bring reward to anyone, it merely expiates one's sins and so far as reward is concerned, one has to earn it with his good words and good deeds.

The Almighty Lord grants Paradise to his creatures on account of their piety and noble thoughts."

✦⋆· "It is blameworthy that you do not thank for a favour done unto you."

✦⋆· "Whoever does not thank the one who does him a favor from among Allah’s creatures has not thanked Allah either."
