With Hardship There is Ease

 

 فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا • إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا

For indeed with hardship there is ease, indeed with hardship there is ease.

With every tear you shed and every sorrow you bear there are reasons to smile.
With every pain in your heart, there are moments of relief.
With every dibilitating fear, there is safety surrounding you in equal measure.
With every loss, there are infinitely many more blessings still around you.
With every distress, the mercy of Allāh is ever present and ever near.
With every bitterness of patience, there is the sweetness of Allāh’s company.

With every blow that knocks the wind out of your lungs, there is the ability to inhale it back in.

Along with hardship there is ease, because your Rabb never leaves you empty handed.
