A Gentle Reminder of Allah’s Promise of Ease
As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh (Peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you) 🤍
Do you ever feel the weight of your worries? Does the uncertainty of the future sometimes cloud your heart?
In those quiet moments of concern, remember this beautiful promise from our Creator. Allah, Ar-Rahman (The Most Gracious), tells us in the Holy Qur’an:
“So, surely with hardship comes ease. Surely with that hardship comes more ease.” (Surah Ash-Sharh, 94:5-6)
Subhan’Allah! He doesn’t just say after the hardship, but with it. This means that relief is already intertwined with your struggle. Your patience, your prayers, and your trust in Him are the very keys that unlock this ease.
Every challenge you face is a chance to draw closer to Him. Every difficulty is an opportunity for your sins to be expiated and your rank to be raised. He knows what your heart holds, and He is Al-Mujeeb (The Responder to Prayers).
Today, try this:
- Breathe and say “Tawakkaltu ‘ala Allah” (I have placed my trust in Allah). Feel the peace in submitting your affairs to the Best of Planners.
- Make Du’a. Pour your heart out to Him. He is listening and waiting for you to ask.
- Find one small thing to be grateful for. Gratitude (Shukr) shifts our perspective from our problems to our blessings.
May Allah ease your burdens, calm your anxieties, and fill your heart with the unshakeable peace that comes from trusting in Him completely.
Ameen.
