"I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity and her flaming self-respect and it's these things I'a believe in even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn't all that she should be. But of course the real reason is that I love her and that's the beginning and end of everything." 
F. Scott Fitzgerald

Another benefit discussed by Sheikh Al-'Izz Ibn Abdus-Salam is the devel- opment of ikhlas (purity) within our hearts. When we go through trials, we develop a deeper, experiential level of sincerity. Our desire for the pleasure of people diminishes and our desire for the pleasure of Allah increases and becomes our primary focus. Two of the most deadly spiritual diseases is "hubb ul jaah" (the love of status) and "riyaa" (to show off in worship).
As human beings, we covet the hearts (love, admiration) of people. Depending on our disposition, we seek to attain this love and admiration through different means. If we are not religious, we "collect hearts" by showing off in Dunya (jaah-
status). We covet wealth and status symbols to attain the admiration of people. But, when we are religious, we "collect hearts" using religion. So we show off in matters of worship and deen (religion).

And I’m sorry for warning Mr. Hobson to keep his son away from you.” He smiled tightly. “I would say I did that for your benefit, but really, I did it for me.” His eyes fell on my chest. “I don’t do well with competition.”
