              ease for you; He does not
              desire difficulty for you…"
              (Surat al-Baqara, 185) and:
              "We have made the Qur’an
              easy to remember. But is there any rememberer there?" (Surat al-
              Qamar, 17). Therefore, the believers must know that choosing the easier
              path is a requirement of the Qur’an. In addition, they must not let
              Allah’s promise, "We will ease you to the Easy Way" (Surat al-A`la, 8),
              slip their mind. As Allah says:
                 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 be-
                 fore and also in this, so that the Messenger could be a witness
                 over you and so you could be witnesses over all mankind. So es-
                 tablish prayer, pay the alms, and hold fast to Allah. He is your
                 Protector—the Best Protector, the Best Helper. (Surat al-Hajj, 78)
