Do you want an easy life?

وَلَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفۡسًا إِلَّا وُسۡعَهَاۚ وَلَدَیۡنَا كِتَـٰبࣱ یَنطِقُ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَهُمۡ لَا یُظۡلَمُونَ﴿ ٦٢ ﴾

“We do not burden any soul with more than it can bear- We have a Record that tells the truth- they will not be wronged.”

— Qur’an 23:62

Times of ease and times of hardship — struggles eb and flow like seasons with the passing of time.

The warmth of summer is followed by the harsh of winter — only to bloom once more into the beauty of spring. 🌸

Life is testing, for anyone in any given situation.

God’s promise is always kept — no soul will be tested with more than it can bear. Strong people will find their strength tested more and more — as a means of proving their mettle and their faith.

It’s important to remember throughout good and bad times that they are temporary, all things come to an end good and bad. Our tests will end and likewise our easy periods are a chance for respite before further tests.

We never despair in times of difficulty and we never become complacent in times of ease

Regardless of our state we will always be tested, even people with immense wealth and privilege are tested in other ways that may not be obvious.

Tests are a chance for us to learn and improve — to demonstrate ourselves. At the end of it all we’ll find respite and reward after the test.
