Iblīs said:

"I ruin the children of Ādam with sins and they destroy me with istiġfār [ie: seeking Allah's forgiveness] and with Lā Ilaaha Illa Allah [saying there is no deity worthy of worship in truth except Allah]

وَقَالَ إِبْلِيسُ: أَهْلَكْتُ بَنِي آدَمَ بِالذُّنُوبِ وَأَهْلَكُونِي بِالِاسْتِغْفَارِ وَبِلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ،

So when I see that [from them] I furnish in them al-Ahwāʾ [ie: lowly desires] so that they commits sins and do not repent and that is because they think they are doing good actions.

فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ ذَلِكَ بَثَثْتُ فِيهِمُ الْأَهْوَاءَ، فَهُمْ يُذْنِبُونَ وَلَا يَتُوبُونَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ يَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُمْ يُحْسِنُونَ صُنْعًا.

Ibn Jawzi said:

“My son, when fear of Allah is real, you shall see all good. A person who truly fears his Lord does not care about others (what they think) and does not put himself in a position where his religion is at risk. Whoever takes care of Allah’s limits shall be taken care of by Him.”

إنه الله، مَن يهبك أفراحاً، تنسيك أنك بكيت ليالي. مَن يمدك بالصبر والقوة، لتقف بعدما انهارت قواك. ‏إنه الله وحده من تثق به.

It is Allah Who gives you joys, Who forgets that you cried at night, Who gives you patience and strength to get up after your strength has collapsed. It is Allah alone in whom you trust.

“Part of the test is when a believer supplicates and receives no response, and he repeats the du’ā for a long time and sees no sign of a response. He should realise that this is a test and needs patience.”

— Imām Ibn al-Jawzī (ﺭﺣﻤﻪ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ) in “Sayd al-Khātir” (pp. 59-60).
