Imām ibn Al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:
Recognise the extent of Allāh’s gentleness toward you and His protection over you. He only forbade sins in order to protect and preserve you, not out of stinginess toward you. And He only commanded you to obey Him out of mercy and kindness, not because He is in need of you.
[بدائع الفوائد ٣/٢٣١]
