“Human effort alone can achieve nothing unless it is accompanied by the grace of God. [The Holy Quran states:]
خُلِقَ الۡاِنۡسَانُ ضَعِيۡفًا
“[‘For man has been created weak.’ (Surah an-Nisa, Ch. 4: V. 29)]
“Mankind is weak, filled with flaws, and surrounded by difficulties on all sides. Therefore, one should pray that Allah the Almighty grants the ability to do good deeds and makes one an inheritor of divine support and the blessings of His grace.”
(Malfuzat [1988], Vol. 5, p. 543)
