Hadith on ease in our religion


                  Such beautiful is our religion: SubhanAllah 




Aisha (RA) reported: The Prophet(saw) came in when a women was sitting beside me. He asked me , “Who is she ?’ I said : She is the one whose performance of salat has become the talk of the town.” 


Addressing her, he (saw) said , (What is this!) you are required to take upon only what you can carry out easily. By Allah , Allah does not withhold His Mercy and forgiveness of you until you neglect and give up (good works). Allah likes the deeds best which a worshipper can carry out constantly.”

{Al Bukhari and Al Muslim}



Commentary: The hadith prohibits ibadah beyond one’s capacity, lest one gets tired and stops it altogether . One should be therefore moderate in this respect.


Allah likes that good action which is done regularly, even if it is a small one . Any good deed which is done continuously will have an everlasting reward. On the contrary , a good deed which is done for a short period of time will have a short return.

If you are grateful, He will surely increase you in favor (14:7)

  لَئِن شَكَرتُم لَأَزيدَنَّكُم If you are grateful, He will surely increase you in favor (14:7)   SubhanAllah such a beautiful ayah. In our day to day life, usually what happens when we do some one a favor, we expect them to thank us and appreciate us but when it comes to the blessings that Allah has bestowed upon us we seldom thank Allah. Allah blesses us abundantly and when we thank him sincerely for even a few of his blessing , he increases it ( gives us barakah) in it. How amazing is that? If you want barakah in any thing at all, just thank Allah constantly. Expecting appreciation and gratefulness  from people will only lead us to depression and ill feeling towards others. This is one of the biggest test for us, Allah test every human being by blessing him as He mentions in this ayah(27: 40) “…This is by the grace of my Lord! – to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful! And if any is grateful, truly his gratitude is (a gain) for his own soul; but if any is ...

He, who wishes to enter paradise at the best gate, must please his father and mother.

  He, who wishes to enter paradise at the best gate, must please his father and mother. (Bukhari & Muslim) This, very simple Hadith, has so much weight. Pleasing our parents does not only bring happiness to us in this duniya but also gives us great rewards in the aakhira. Pleasing parents requires constant hard work just as our parents worked hard day and night to raise us. These days we love our personal space so much that we get upset when our parents demand some time of ours or some help from us and we get irritated if this happens often. Just imagine how much time we took from their life? And now when it is time to repay a little we move back. Such is our generation. Our parents were our way to this duniya and our way to jannah. Give them attention, time, respect them, be kind to them, make them happy ,do the things they like together (even if it is drinking morning tea with them ) it means a lot to them. Make a schedule and take out some time for them even if you are far a...

Today's Reflection [Ayah 45-46, Surah Al-Baqarah]

  وَاسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَاةِ ۚ وَإِنَّهَا لَكَبِيرَةٌ إِلَّا عَلَى الْخَاشِعِينَ And seek help through patience and prayer. But it is difficult, except for the devout. (Quran 45:2)   الَّذِينَ يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّهُمْ مُلَاقُو رَبِّهِمْ وَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ Those who know that they will meet their Lord, and that to Him they will return.( Quran 46:2) The purpose of this directive is to urge man to develop this quality and to reinforce it from the outside by means of Prayer.  Allah commanded His servants to use patience and prayer to acquire the good of this life and the Hereafter.  The companion  of our Rasool , Umar  i bn Al-Khattab said,  "There are two types of patience: good patience when the disaster strikes, and a better patience while avoiding the prohibitions of Allah." Man saves much treasures for himself, but he does not contemplate that the best treasure he can have for himself is prayer and patience. We search for help in...
