Taha V.1-40

No Distress

We have not sent down to you the Qur’ān that you be distressed
But only as a reminder for those who fear [Allāh] [Taha:2-3]
I thought it was a very beautiful thing for Allah (Swt) to say to us that He did not send the Qur’an down to make us all distressed. Many times we become distressed because of the commands but Allah (Swt) has made ease for us. There is a lot of lenience for us such as shortening prayer and not having to fast when on a journey. Instead of taking the Qur’an as a burden we should be happy because in it are commands of Allah (Swt) which if we follow will be the reason for our success.
