Allah’s ﷻ Orders are Easy

Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, Auzu Billahi Minashaytanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Wassalatu Wassalamu ala Rasulina Muhammadin Sayyidul Awwalin wal Akhirin, Madad Ya Rasulallah, Madad Ya Sadat As’habi RasuLillah, Madad Ya Mashayikhina, Dastur Mawlana Sheikh Abdullah Faiz Daghestani, Sheikh Nazim al-Haqqani.

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 02:286). ‘La yukallifu Llahu nafsan illa wus’aha’, ‘Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity.’ Allah ﷻ does not give anyone something they cannot carry out. Things that Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla imposes on us are things everyone can do. They are not difficult but easy things. Praying five times a day, fasting, Zakah, Hajj; everything is doable. Everyone can pray and fast. Even if sick, one can pray. He can pray by sitting. And if he is very sick, he can pray in bed.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla ordered things that people can do. Regarding fasting, if someone is sick, he can compensate it. When he compensates it, he will have done it. But as we said, things that Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla orders to us are very easy. We can do them. But shaytan shows them as difficult.

In other... There are no other religions, the religion is one. Worship performed by awry religions is not what the Prophets had brought. They have worshipped as they like. Therefore, people look at them and say, “These people have no praying, no ablution, nothing. So nice! It is very easy”. It is not easy. They are not in the religion. The religion is Islam. The religion of all Prophets is Islam. There are orders of Allah ﷻ in it. Their orders before were much tougher than ours. They were much more difficult. For the honor of our Holy Prophet ﷺ, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla showed mercy to us and gave this easiness. Therefore, we should make Shukr to Allah ﷻ and make no excuse. And to people who have excuses, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave even more easiness.

Certainly, people should put this in their minds. These are the things we must do. Just like we eat, drink and breathe; the same goes for these things. They are not difficult. They make no burden. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave orders according to our nature and Fitrah. Shukr to Him ﷻ. May Allah ﷻ not show them as difficult to us. May He ﷻ show them as easy.

Whoever does them is at peace. Every work of his passes smoothly. And he will live with dignity here and hereafter. He will be from the beloved people who are servants to Allah ﷻ and are from the Ummah of our Holy Prophet ﷻ insha’Allah. May Allah ﷻ protect us from the evil of shaytan and from the evil of our egos. They always want to prevent us.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
