In The Name Of Allah

Praise be to Allah.May Peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Mohammed and his family and companions.


It was narrated from Abu Hurayra(R) that the Prophet SallAllahu alayhe wasallam said:

“Religion is easy, and no one overburdens himself in his religion but he will be unable to continue in that way. So do not be extremists, but try to be near perfection and receive the good tidings that you will be rewarded. Gain strength by worshipping in the mornings and afternoons and during the last hours of the night.”

-Sahih Bukhari 39

This Deen is indeed very easy.Its a gateway to love of Creator SWT.Thus,it brings with itself good & ease that leads us to be grateful to Allah Almighty as without ease in Ibadah & other obligations towards Allah SWT & towards our family/relatives& friends,we will feel dislike to Deen & will find it a burden to keep to it esp in these hardest times of trials erupting everywhere(the mix of halal with haram& too much fitan) in these end times.

Because of the phrase 'religion is easy',do not misunderstand it means we can delve into haram things because religion talks of leniency.No,Religion is easy in practicing Islam fully without going to extremes in good deeds as that energy dies down after little time.Moderation in good deeds goes a long way,we become balanced.This is the meaning of 'religion is easy'


It's incumbent to stay on the path prescribed by our Prophet SallAllahu alayhe wasallam which is path of moderation in everything whether it's Ibadah or jihad or seeking knowledge or keeping respect for Deen (some people goto extremes in keeping Adab for Islamic stuff at homes that they themselves get overwhelmed after sometime) or abstaining from worldly attractions or extremism in enemity or we may say they are extreme in hygiene matters thus they develop OCD's,extreme in forbidding evil that they don't see how to do it with wisdom& having too much fear of shirk that leads to waswas or extremism in Tawheed issues which gives rise to Takfiri mentality or with overburdened religiosity that leads to unable to concile between living& working for world&hereafter


You will see these are in itself some brilliant deeds but extremism destroys it.
The Prophet SallAllahu alayhe wasallam is reported to have said:

“Good form, good composure, and moderation are among the twenty-five parts of prophecy.”

Sunan Abī Dāwūd

Thus,moderation is successful in everything,as it's path of beloved Prophets (May peace be upon them)

In Musnad al-Imam Ahmad (5/32), in a report which was classed as hasan by the commentators on the Musnad, it is narrated that Mihjan ibn al-Adra’ said: I came with the Prophet SAWW , and when we were at the door of the mosque, we saw a man who was praying. He said: “Do you think he is sincere?” I said: “O Prophet of Allah, this is So and so, he is one of the best of the people of Madeenah, or one of those who pray the most of the people of Madeenah.” He said: “Don't let him hear you lest you be doomed” – two or three times – “you are an ummah for whom I want ease.”


So too much of anything look like a clothes that is gaudy.So,a person going beyond bounds in flunging to extreme length is not looked upto & doesn't get love of Allah & His appreciation but receives His displeasure .The way and only way accepted by Allah SWT is "Sunnah of Prophet SallAllahu alayhe wasallam "& whatever extremism you add leads to nothing but humiliation as adding in Deen is bidah& opposing Sunnah is defeated/humiliated& scorned upon.

Respected my Muslim bros & sisters,
Please do not lose hope if you have been doing all the things stated above.This is something happening amongst ⁢us because of lack of knowledge & people without Deen that causes this even more.
So beautify yourselves with repentance knowledge & good khulq,as we need these things for ourselves & with our families who love us & who we love


And "All aid is with Allah Alone & He is Best Disposer of our affairs!"
