Allah (swt) tells us in a very profound ayah: 'Verily. With hardship comes ease.' (Quran, 94:5). Growing up I think I understood this ayah wrongly. I used to think it meant: after hardship comes ease. In other words I thought life was made up of good times and bad times. After the bad times, comes the good times. But that is not what the ayah is saying. The ayah is saying *with* hardship comes ease. The ease is at the same time as the hardship. This means that nothing in this life is ever all bad (or all good). In every bad situation we're in, there is always something to be grateful for. With hardship, Allah also gives us the strength and patience to bear it. (This is an excerpt from my book: Reclaim Your Heart)
Hanaa Anwar
6mo agoAsh-Sharh (94:5)
تأمل روحى في الكلمة: (مع) تُربّي القلب على صحبة الله في الألم؛ فليس المطلوب إنكار العسر، بل رؤيته وهو محاطٌ بعنايةٍ خفية. عندما يشتد الشعور، قل لنفسك: "هو معي… واليسر معه"؛ فتتحول المشاعر من فوضى إلى مرافقة واعية.
