Easy and delicious

Living in Haraam draws the wrath of Allah Ta'ala. How can a person be at peace if he is living in a manner that attracts the wrath of Allah Ta'ala? A person does not need to possess a lot to have his well-being. He can enjoy his well-being with a little itself if he is living in a way that pleases Allah Ta'ala. To live in a way that pleases Allah Ta'ala means to live in His obedience by following the Mubaarak Sunnah of our beloved Nabi (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam). Every institution wants people to follow all of its principles and regulations. Nobody ever says that the institution is exaggerating. On the contrary, people praise that institution and say that it is very strict and severe. So where is the exaggeration when one says that one must always obey Allah Ta'ala everywhere and in all aspects of life? What is wrong when one says that one must follow Nabi (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam)?

Here, people tend to say that it is difficult. But in reality, it is a weakness in belief and conviction that make one find it difficult. When people find benefit in something, they will look for a way to do it. However, something easy will seem difficult if they are not interested in it.

Long ago, there was a time when shaving the hair was considered babyish and now the very same thing has become fashion and people are doing it with glory and pleasure. If people develop love for Allah Ta'ala and admiration for Nabi (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam), then everything that they find difficult will not only become easy but so pleasurable that they will not be able to live without it. One must ask a true Ahle-Sunnah the value of a Sunnah of Nabi (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam). One must ask a true Ahle-Sunnah about the joy and sweetness that there is in living according to the Sunnah of our beloved Nabi (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam). He will tell one but one will not understand. One must absolutely live it to understand it.
