Ease and facilitation – these are two qualities of the Shari’ah that give comfort to the believer.
We have not sent down the Qur’an unto you [O’ Muhammad] to cause you distress. (Qur’an 20: 1)
And we shall make easy for you [O’ Muhammad] the easy way [i.e. the doing of righteous deeds]. (Qur’an 87: 8)
Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope. (Qur’an 2: 286)
Allah puts no burden on any person beyond what He has given him. (Qur’an 65: 7)
And He has not laid upon you in religion any hardship… (Qur ‘an 22: 78)
He releases them from their heavy burdens [of Allah’s Covenant] and from the fetters [bindings] that were upon them. (Qur ‘an 7. 157) Read more…

Napoleon exclaimed in Saint Helena:
“I have not known (even) six happy days in my whole life.” The Caliph, Hisham ibn Abdul-Malik, said:
“I have attempted to recall and enumerate the number of happy days in my life, and I have found them to be thirteen in total.” And his father would often repine and say, Read more…

A Western thinker said:
“It is most possible for you, while you are behind steel bars, to look out upon the horizon and to smell roses. It is also extremely plausible for you to be in a castle replete with opulence and comfort, and yet be angry and discontented with your family and wealth.”
Therefore happiness is not determined by time or by place, but instead by faith in Allah and obedience to Him, matters that are rooted in a person’s heart. The heart has a far-reaching significance in that it is the place that Allah looks at and scrutinizes. If faith settles itself in the heart, happiness and tranquility will pervade both the heart and the soul.

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, and peace and blessings be upon the Trustworthy Prophet Muhammad and upon all his family and companions.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to strive hard (in worship) during the last ten days of Ramadan in a way that he did not strive at any other times.
[Muslim, 1175, from ‘A’ishah]
Among the things he did were secluding himself in I’tikaf and seeking Laylat al-Qadr during this time. Read more…

Miserable are those souls that are ignorant of Islam or that know Islam but have not been guided to it. Today, Muslims need a slogan or advertisement to be broadcast worldwide, for Islam is a great message that must be conveyed to the masses. The words of this slogan need to be clear, concise, and inviting because the happiness of humanity as a whole lies in this true Religion.
And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him…. (Qur’an 3: 85) Read more…

In the year 1400 Hijri, I participated in a campaign to propagate Islam, close to the border of Yemen. I temporarily left the camp we were staying in, intending to go with one of my professors to Abha. On the way back I was upset because he was driving his car at a very high speed. I pleaded with him to slow down, but it seemed that this only had the effect of goading him on to go faster. It was raining that night, yet he continued to drive recklessly. We ended up in a valley that was filling with water. At first the water reached a level only slightly above our tires. As we reached the middle of the valley, though, the situation got worse as water started to flow into our vehicle. We left the car and with much difficulty we managed to reach the edge of the valley. We were stuck there all night without food, drink, and more importantly, because we were wet, without blankets. We were contented and thankful for our situation though, because when the flood had overwhelmed us we had expected to die. And so we were thankful just to be alive. In the early morning somebody came and took us to safety. I am reminded by this incident of a story that took place in World War II. An American ship was hit by a missile and as a result began to sink. The captain was stranded for thirteen days with only water and bread to nourish him. He was later asked whether there was a moral that he took away with him from his experience. He said, “Something important that I took away with me from this experience is that if a person is healthy and has bread and water, he has the whole world with him.” Read more…
