The Easiness Of Islam Is A Blessing From Allah

Believers constantly live their lives according to what the
All-Merciful and Most Merciful has revealed in the Qur'an. No matter
where they are, they display a moral character that pleases Allah
and avoid any behavior that displeases Him. In His mercy, Allah
gave Islam to humanity, a religion that is easy to follow and
results in a good and contented way of life. From the Qur'an, we
can see that Islam's requirements are extremely easy, because "Allah
desires ease for you; He does not desire difficulty for you" (Surat
al-Baqara, 185).
Due to His compassion and mercy, all true religions contain rules
that are very easy to obey. The various attempts made throughout
history to deviate from the essence of religion and to prevent
people from living according to it have added several enforced
practices and myths to it. When such distortions become firmly
established and self-generating traditions, people, either with or
without their knowledge, become far removed from the religious
morality. One of the most dangerous of these distorted beliefs is
that it is hard to live according to the religious morality.
However, both Allah and our Prophet (saas) state that it is very
easy for believers to follow this morality.
As with everything else that exists, Allah has created human beings
from nothing. With full knowledge of them, as well as being closer
to them than their jugular veins, He created religion in such a way
that it fully corresponds with each person's inherent human nature:
So set your face firmly toward the Religion, as a pure natural
believer, Allah's natural pattern on which He made humanity. There is
no changing Allah's creation. That is the true Religion – but most
people do not know it. (Surat ar-Rum, 30)
The Qur'an is a clear teaching that anyone, regardless of age and
culture, can understand. The oft-heard assertion that this is not
true is based mainly on people's ignorance of Islam's essence.
Today, many people are unaware of the truths revealed in the
Qur'an, the existence of the Afterlife, the pangs of Hell, the
incomparable blessings of Paradise, and of what He has revealed
concerning various matters. However, the Qur'an was sent down so
that people could read it, know its wisdom, and learn the purpose
of life.
A Muslim's greatest responsibility is to read the Qur'an and live
according to It. But only those whom Allah guides to the straight
path can apply Its morality to their lives. Allah promises to guide
everyone who turns to Him in complete sincerity. Those who assert
that the Qur'an is hard to understand seek to prevent others from
reading it, turning toward Allah, and living according to its moral
teachings. However, Allah says in many verses that the Qur'an is
clear and understandable:
We have sent down Clear Signs to you, and no one rejects them except
the deviators. (Surat al-Baqara, 99)
Allah has been pleased to choose the religion of Islam for humanity;
moreover, the rules and practice of the Qur'an are very simple. In
its verses, Allah says of the Qur'an:
We did not send down the Qur'an to you to make you miserable, but only
as a reminder for those who fear [and respect Allah]. (Surah Ta Ha,
2-3)
In His endless mercy and compassion, Allah has detailed in the
Qur'an the kind of life that will ensure our happiness and
contentment. Allah states this in the Qur'an as follows:
But as for him [or her] who believes and acts rightly, he [or she]
will receive the best of rewards, and We will issue a command, making
things easy for him [or her]. (Surat al-Kahf, 88)
It is important for every Muslim to show that religion, in its
essence, is easy in order to kindle the people's hearts with the
Qur'an and Islamic morality, teach them the Qur'an and our Prophet's
(saas) Sunnah as the only guides for their lives. Many people are
unaware of this truth and think that their lives will be more
comfortable if they disregard the Qur'an's morality out of concern
that it will restrict their enjoyment of life's pleasures. However,
such great errors and deceptions obscure the fact that such morality
is easy to follow, for Allah, Who created humanity, is fully aware
of what system of morality is best for His creation. Actually, what
is difficult is to live in a society composed of individuals who do
not know the boundaries that Allah has set.
