Two for the Price of One

Allah says in the Qur’an:

Translation: So verily, with the hardship, there is relief; Verily, with the hardship, there is relief! [Surah Ash-Shrah, verses 5-6]

Two for the price of one! How’s that for a deal?

So if you find yourself in a position of hardship, ask yourself: What ease am I forgetting?

And also, the use of with, shows that the two are so closely related as to be companions–they are together! [1]

And Allah is the source of peace, As-Salaam.
