You mentioned that the saying “God helps those who helps themselves.” is actually said by: Aesop, however you couldn’t be more wrong. This saying is derived from the following:
“Surely God does not change the state in which a people are until they change that which is in themselves.” This saying is from the Quran, Chapter ar-Ra`d, verse number 11.
