فَإِنَّ مَعَ العُسرِ يُسرًا

إِنَّ مَعَ العُسرِ يُسرًا

فَإِذا فَرَغتَ فَانصَب

وَإِلىٰ رَبِّكَ فَارغَب

“For truly with hardship comes ease; truly with hardship comes ease. So when you have finished, work on, and make your Lord your goal!” — Qur’an 94: 5-8

Many of us would simply like to wake up in the morning, have our coffee made for us. Have our driver take us to work – better yet, someone else does our work for us, and then come home, bushed, as if we put in some great effort. We want a gym body without going to the gym.
