With hardship is tremendous ease

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Assalaamu alaykum

I pray that you are being enveloped by Allah's Mercy.

We want what pleases us and we dislike what displeases us. We don't want hardships. We want bliss. But bliss must be earned. How do we earn it? This is what this life is for.

Anybody can say "I believe", but are you telling the truth? When that hardship comes, are you going to break?

"Do the people reckon that they will be left to say 'We believe,' and will not be tried? We certainly tried those that were before them, and assuredly God knows those who speak truly, and assuredly He knows the liars." Qur'an The Spider 29:2-3

One day the Prophet (may Allah give him peace and blessings) asked his companions, "Do you see what I see?" They replied, "No". He said, "Verily I see fitan falling on your homes like rain."

Trials will continue to surge like the waves of the sea.

"Be patient, for no time will come except that the one after it shall be worse than it until you meet your Lord." (hadith)

"...have patience until you meet me at the Pool." (hadith)

(where you will have a drink from after which you will never be thirsty again, followed by eternal bliss in Paradise.)

Remember,

"On no soul does Allah place a burden greater than it can bear..." (Qur'an 2:286)

"So, truly with the hardship is (tremendous) ease. Truly with hardship is (tremendous) ease" (Qur'an 94:5-6)

Du'a is a very powerful act of worship. In times of hardship du'as become purer. Ask for Allah Himself and ask Him what He is asking you to do.

May Allah protect you and your family from the trials. Ameen.
