What Blocks You from Allah's Grace and Favor

Nothing blocks you from receiving of Allah's grace and favor
except your reliance upon
people and connections, on good turns and handouts.
......
As long as you continue to depend on fellow creatures,
hoping for their gifts and favors, going door to door with your requests,
you are associating His creation with Allah.

Shaikh Abd Al Qadir Al Jilani -R.A. [Futuh-ul-Ghaib]
