In the Name of God, the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy
Did We not relieve your heart for you [Prophet], and remove the burden that weighed so heavily on your back, and raise your reputation high?* So truly where there is hardship there is also ease*; truly where there is hardship there is also ease. The moment you are freed [of one task] to work on, and turn to your Lord for everything.
*So many of these begin with questions- I approve. There is no God like a challenging God.
*Holocaust survivor Primo Levi wrote that there is no such thing as perfect suffering. I always figured, he would know. Where there is hardship there is also ease, indeed.
