Actually I’m pretty sure it isn’t.

I would like to add that ease is a state of being, not necessarily a life status. The Prophets (alayhim salaam) had the hardest lives and hardships, but had the lightest heart. Allah eased their pain for them, and they received and will receive more ease because of more hardship.

It’s the age old adage — the harder you work, the more you get. The best things in life are not easy (even ease itself)!

Jazak Allah Alif Khair

For example, praying the 5 daily prayers or making time to read Quran requires effort on our part, especially in our hectic, time-driven lifestyle. They are not easy but they are necessary for spiritual ease which translates into ease with everything in life. It is hard to perfect our obligatory spiritual acts but when we make the effort, a deep sense of ease begins to grow within us because we are connecting with the One who is far greater than any of our troubles. With hardship comes ease means that the hard time requires more effort from us to do the things that bring us closer to our true Source of comfort — Allah. We pray more, are aware of Allah more, trust Allah more, and these things allow us to naturally feel a greater ease within. I truly believe it is not so much about our external circumstances but our spiritual condition, that keeps us grounded, stable, and at peace admist the storms of life.
