Our Trials and Tribulations. In Suratul Inshirah Allah says (O Prophet!) Have We not expanded your breast for you and relieved you from the burden which weighed down your back, and exalted your fame? Surely, with every difficulty there is relief. Surely, with every difficulty there is relief. Therefore, when you are free from your daily tasks, devote your time to the labor of worship and turn all your attention towards your Lord. Like the verse before, this Surah is talking to the Prophet (Salla Allahu Alayhee wa Sallam) but does not mean it does not apply to us. Has not Allah expanded our breast with guidance of Islam? Has he not relieved burdens from our backs? And has he not in one way or another exalted us in fame, whether it be having people respect us or look up to us? Allah continues saying with every difficulty there is relief, and he repeats this. This is the truth from Allah, and if we look into our lives we will see this to be true. Allah mentions this after talking about the blessings which he has given us to show us the examples of how he truly does give relief to difficulty. This is solid proof, that which we cannot deny and that which is evident in our own lives. And Allah ends the Surah telling us to devote our attention to worship when we are done doing our daily tasks. After analyzing this Surah we will see that the layout of it is something very important. First Allah talks to us showing how he has given us his blessings. Then he tells us that these blessing were because of tribulations he placed upon us, and we were successful in being patient with them. Then he tells us to praise and worship Allah when we have the time, for this is what we owe for all the good he has given us. (To be continued In Sha Allah)
