THERE IS SURELY EASEWITH EVERY DIFFICULTY

good news of guidance and blessings to His servants who
have fear for Him:

... Whoever has fear of God - He will give him a way
out and provide for him from where he does not
expect. Whoever puts his trust in God - He will be
enough for him... (Surat at-Talaq: 2-3)

God does not place a burden greater than
one can bear

God, the Merciful, Compassionate and Just, creates ease
in everything and tests people within the limits of their
strength. Forms of prayers God commands man to perform,
difficulties He creates to test him, responsibilities that He
charges man with are all in proportion to his individual
capabilities. This is a good news and comfort to believers,
and a manifestation of God's mercy and grace. God relates
this secret in verses as follows:
And that you do not go near the property of orphans
before they reach maturity - except in a good way;
that you give full measure and full weight with
justice - We impose on no one any more than they
can bear; that you are equitable when you speak -
even if a near relative is concerned; and that you
fulfil God's covenant. That is what He instructs you
to do, so that hopefully you will pay heed. (Surat al-
An'am: 152)
As for those who believe and do righteous deeds -
We impose on no one any more than they can bear -
they are the Companions of the Garden, remaining
in it forever. (Surat al-A'raf: 42)
