choosing what brings the most good
When Allah sets a rule, it is never without purpose.
Every command He gives carries goodness in it, for this world and the next.
If something feels heavy, it is not because He wants to make it hard, but because inside it there is hidden benefit.
Allah is gentle, kind, and wise.
He always wants ease for His servants, never hardship.
So when we have to choose, pick what brings the most good and avoids the most harm.
Start with what is most important, not what is most convenient.
Do what matters more to Allah, even if it feels small.
Because every small right choice adds up to a life that shines brighter.
May our hearts learn to see what truly brings good for us, for others, and for the Hereafter.
(from Syajaratul Ma’arif, Syaikh al-‘Izz bin Abdus Salam)
