Hawzah News Agency – The commander of the faithful, Imam Ali peace be upon him says:

مَن أخَذَ بِالتَّقوى‏ ... هَطَلَت علَيهِ الكَرامَةُ بَعدَ قُحوطِها، وتحَدَّبَت علَيهِ الرَّحمَةُ بَعدَ نُفورِها، وتَفَجَّرَت علَيهِ النِّعَمُ بَعدَ نُضوبِها، ووَبَلَتْ علَيهِ البَركَةُ بَعدَ إرذاذِها.

'He who adopts Godwariness...dignity will pour down on him after having been scarce; mercy will incline towards him after having missed him [previously], blessings will gush onto him after having been barren, and benediction will heavily rain upon him after having merely drizzled.'
