Is it true that Allah deprives a servant of one blessing in exchange for another, as in the case of someone whom Allah has blessed with memorizing His Book, yet he becomes pessimistic and thinks that Allah will take something away from him because He has bestowed upon him a great blessing?

Allah grants provision to whomever He wills. Therefore, a Muslim should abandon pessimism, persevere in gratitude, ask Allah for His bounty, have a good opinion of Him, and be keen to stay away from sins, as they are a cause of deprivation and denial.
