Page 13 - Islam: The Religion of Ease

INTRODUCTION

The religion Allah chose for people, which best suits their
temperament, is the religion of Islam. Allah has made His reli-
gion very easy for people to live by. Religious morality lifts all
the burdens, and things that are limiting and restricting and that
cause people hardship. It informs people that they should al-
ways seek Allah's approval, lean towards Him, and resign
themselves to the destiny that He has determined for them, for
He is infinitely compassionate, kind and forgiving; He creates
everything with a purpose for righteous people; He is the pos-
sessor of all power.
To trust and befriend Allah, Who is the possessor of all crea-
tures and controller of all the events that take place, means to
put an end to the fears, worries, troubles, and hardships in a
human being's life. For one who lives according to the morality
of Qur'an, what is most important is the ease and beauty reli-
gion provides him. Moreover, Allah has made all His com-
mands and decrees commensurate with people's dispositions
and no hardship will ensue from any of them.

and that He will make things easier for those who follow their
religion:
