ISLAM: THE RELIGION OF EASE

good news to believers:
Be they men or women, those who embrace the Faith and
do what is right We will surely grant a happy life; We
shall reward them according to their noblest deeds.
(Surat an-Nahl: 97)
As has been explained in detail throughout the book, the re-
ligion Allah has given to people is very easy and without ardu-
ousness. Moreover, it relieves a person of all the difficulties,
troubles, and suffering in his life. One who lives by religion,
achieves success and the best in everything he does under
Allah's protection and, as is stated in the verse, lives the best life.
Therefore, you should choose the best and at the same time
the easiest life. You can achieve such a life easily by living by the
morals of the Qur'an, because, the Qur'an is the word of Allah,
Who has created you as He has everything else in this world. By
setting aside the acquired teachings of the culture you live in,
the people in your society, newspapers, and television, you
should lean towards the right religion—which is Allah's word—
and think of the ease of living by the teachings of the Qur'an.
Do not forget, if you ignore the fact that religious morality
can be comfortably lived, and abandon what is easy, you may
face infinite and unexpected pain in the other world.
