Allah calls on people to do what is easy. By adopting a morality
that drives them into torment, some, however, choose what is difficult
and thus wrong themselves. Although they can benefit from the beau-
ties and blessings Allah creates for them in this world, in a full atmos-
phere of the love, sincerity and security which faith brings, still they
spend their lives surrounded by concerns and anxieties of every type.
In fact the way to happiness is very easy and never too late for
anybody. Allah shows people the solution in the verse, "Those who
submit themselves completely to Allah and do good have grasped
the Firmest Handhold. The end result of all affairs is with Allah"
(Surah Luqman: 22). In another verse, Allah explains the solution to
people's sorrows, afflictions and fears like this:
The angels descend on those who say, "Our Lord is Allah,"
and then go straight: "Do not fear and do not grieve but re-
joice in the Garden you have been promised." (Surah
Fussilat: 30)
People are responsible to follow the way Allah has shown.
Those who demonstrate the morality approved by Allah will experi-
ence happiness, cheerfulness and joy in this world and the Hereafter
and will receive eternal mercy. Whatever their causes for worry, all
trouble and torment in their hearts will be removed and replaced by
feelings of peace and security brought on by the manifestation of
their faith in Allah.
