130. Not Once, But TWICE Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala Mentions In

Surah Al-Inshirah, Aayat No 5

فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا

Surely with difficulty is ease.

Surah Al-Inshirah, Aayat No 6

إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا

With difficulty is surely ease.

Allah Subhanahu wa taala gives us hardships to bring us closer to Him, and for many of us they are a means of gaining His love.

However, when everything is well, when the sea is calm - we relax.

We stop making heartfelt duaa, our tears dry up, we become so mesmerized by our happiness that we forget that Shukr (thankfulness) goes hand in hand with Sabr (patience).

In turn we think we're safe - through the laziness of our worship.

Wasn't our hardship a blessing in disguise, because whatever we lose will be compensated in Paradise?

We need to use our hardships to perfect our worship when it's calm, so when lightening strikes we have the ability to bare the tests.

Allah Subhanahu wa taala is with those who are Patient at the turn of calamities and those who call upon Him not only at the time of Hardships but also ease.

The true test of a believer is at the time of ease.

So when your heart is at ease and your soul feels peaceful, Say Alhamdulillah, Bow down in sujood and Thank your Rabb for the abundant blessings He showered upon you.

Don't forget, even the ability to blink your eyes every second is a big blessing from Allah Subhanahu wa taala

Increase in gratitude towards your Rabb for His infinite blessings upon you and In Shaa Allah He'll bless you with abundance.
