Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If Allah bestows blessings upon me, is it correct for me to say, "This is from Allah, and then because of my obedience to Allah," and to say this about every blessing?
Answer:
No, do not say "because of my obedience," for that is self-praise. Instead, say, "This is from Allah, and the power to do so is from Allah." Do not praise yourself by saying it is because of my obedience or my worship, for that is self-praise.
