THERE IS NO DIFFICULTY
IN THE RELIGION

Strive for Allah with the striving due to Him. He has selected you
and not placed any constraint upon you in the religion—the
religion of your forefather Ibrahim. He named you Muslims before
and also in this, so that the Messenger could be witness against you
and you could be witnesses against all mankind. So perform prayer
and give alms and hold fast to Allah. He is your Protector—the Best
Protector, the Best Helper. (Qur'an, 22:78)
We did not send down the Qur'an to you to make you miserable,
but only as a reminder for those who have fear, (Qur'an, 20:2-3)
We have made the Qur'an easy to remember.But is there any
rememberer there? (Qur'an, 54:17)
We have made it (the Qur'an) easy on your tongue so that you can
give good news to those who guard against evil and warn
stubbornly hostile people by it. (Qur'an, 19:97)
… Whoever has fear of Allah—He will make matters easy for him.
(Qur'an, 65:4)
We will ease you to the Easy Way. (Qur'an, 87:8)
As for him who gives out and guards against evil and confirms the
Good, We will pave his way to Ease. (Qur'an, 92:5-7)
Allah desires to make things lighter for you. Man was created
weak. (Qur'an, 4:28)
As for those who believe and do right actions—We impose on no
self any more than it can bear – they are the Companions of the
Garden, remaining in it timelessly, for ever. (Qur'an, 7:42)
We do not impose on any self any more than it can stand. With Us
there is a Book which speaks the truth. They will not be wronged.
(Qur'an, 23:62)
