The answer

...prohibition, the importance of patience and abandoning anger, and the necessity of feeling, remembering, and giving thanks for blessings. Allah has urged this by saying: "So remember the favors of Allah that you may succeed," "And be grateful for the favor of Allah if you should worship Him," and "If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]." Reflecting on blessings and looking at the condition of those less fortunate helps in appreciating blessings, as in the Hadith: "Look at those who are below you and do not look at those who are above you." Wishing for affliction is contrary to the Sunnah; what is prescribed is to praise Allah for well-being and to supplicate for the afflicted, as in the Hadith narrated by Tirmidhi: "Whoever sees an afflicted person and says, 'All praise is due to Allah who has spared me from what He has afflicted you with...' that affliction will not befall him." You are rewarded for reciting the Quran, and a good deed is multiplied tenfold. What is in it must be acted upon so that it may intercede for its companion on the Day of Resurrection. Negligence in acting upon the Quran necessitates sin and repentance. It is advised to avoid idleness and solitude, to associate with good people, to frequently contemplate the virtues of deeds and the biographies of the righteous predecessors, and to increase in supplications, charities, and supererogatory acts of worship.
