Allah wants ease for us Part 2

Allah Wants Ease for Us
فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief. Verily, with every difficulty there is relief. (Al-Sharh 94: 5-6)

The above verses are full of hope that inspires and motivates us and shows us that there is always a bright light at the end of the tunnel. Whenever we are in any difficulty, the above verses inspire us to patiently persevere in our efforts and place our full hope and trust in Allah the Almighty. Allah is the Best of Planners, and during times of difficulty, as well as during times of ease, we should always remember and resort to Him. When we patiently strive in the path of Allah, then we prepare ourselves to receive Allah’s kindness:

وَٱللَّهُ رَءُوفٌۢ بِٱلْعِبَادِ
And Allah is full of pity for (His) bondsmen. (Aal`Imran 3:30)
In addition, Allah in His mercy and kindness has appointed angels to protect us and to pray for our forgiveness:

تَكَادُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِن فَوْقِهِنَّ ۚ وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ أَلَآ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
The heavens nearly burst, one above the other, ˹in awe of Him˺. And the angels glorify the praises of their Lord, and seek forgiveness for those on earth. Surely Allah alone is the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful. [Ash-Shura 42: 5]

Relief Comes After Difficulty
When one is striving in Allah’s path, one should have a goal and set one’s sights on that goal. With every striving there will be obstacles — success does not come easily. But patience and perseverance, together with an unshakeable belief in Almighty Allah, give one the impetus to carry on despite the difficulty and despite the hardships, with the knowledge that the suffering will end and that the striving will bear fruit:

وَأَن لَّيْسَ لِلْإِنسَـٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ
وَأَنَّ سَعْيَهُۥ سَوْفَ يُرَىٰ
ثُمَّ يُجْزَىٰهُ ٱلْجَزَآءَ ٱلْأَوْفَىٰ
That man can have nothing but what he strives for; and that ˹the outcome of˺ their endeavours will be seen ˹in their record˺, then they will be fully rewarded, [An-Najm 53: 39-41]

Continuous striving is the only way to overcome obstacles. It was only through striving, persistence, and perseverance, that apartheid in South Africa was dismantled although many people thought it impossible. Similarly, it was only through the same striving and surmounting huge obstacles that the Berlin Wall came crumbling down and that Communism failed. So too will all oppressors come tumbling down. The will of a people inspired by freedom and the return of their land, together with hope as their rocket fuel, will propel them to confront the oppressor as they look forward to victory and might. Allah has promised that His religion will prevail:

كَتَبَ ٱللَّهُ لَأَغْلِبَنَّ أَنَا۠ وَرُسُلِىٓ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَوِىٌّ عَزِيزٌ
Allah has decreed, “I and My messengers will certainly prevail.” Surely Allah is All-Powerful, Almighty. [Al-Mujadilah 58: 21]
