Question:
Is there anything that will tell a person that his Lord is pleased with
him?.

Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
Among the signs that the Lord is pleased with His slave is that He guides
him to do good deeds and avoid haraam things. This is confirmed by the
words of Allaah:

While as for those who accept guidance, He increases their guidance and
bestows on them their piety; [Muhammad 47:17]
As for those who strive hard in Us (Our Cause), We will surely guide them
to Our paths (i.e. Allaah religion Islamic Monotheism); [al-â˜Ankaboot
29:69]

But if a person is hindered from doing good deeds and avoiding haraam
things we seek refuge with Allaah then that is a sign that Allaah is
not pleased with him.

Allaah has also explained in His Book that the sign of His being pleased
with His slave and of His guidance is that He opens his heart to true
guidance and true faith. And the sign of misguidance and being far from
the Straight Path is distress and constriction in the heart. Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning):

“And whomsoever Allaah wills to guide, He opens his breast to Islam; and
whomsoever He wills to send astray, He makes his breast closed and
constricted, as if he is climbing up to the sky. Thus Allaah puts the
wrath on those who believe ; [al-Anâam 6:125]

Ibn 'Abbaas said, commenting on this verse: And whomsoever Allaah wills
to guide;: He opens his heart to Tawheed and belief therein.

Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 2/175

Another sign of Allaah love for His slave and His being pleased with him
is that He makes him beloved to His slaves. Al-Bukhaari (3209) and Muslim
(2637) narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said: When Allaah loves a person, He calls out to
Jibreel: Allaah loves So and so, so Jibreel loves him. Then Jibreel
calls out to the people of heaven, Allaah loves So and so, so love him.
So the people of heaven love him and he finds acceptance on earth

Al-Nawawi said: and he finds acceptance on earth means that people love
him and are pleased to see him, so their hearts incline towards him. It
says in another report: and he finds love on earth.
And Allaah knows best.
