The Religion is Easy
Mawlana Jawed Attari Madani
The Final Prophet of Allah Almighty, Sayyiduna Muhammad صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:
اِنَّ الدِّينَ يُسْرٌ
“The religion is easy.”[1]
Meaning, it is very easy to act upon the religion.
Dear children, our beautiful religion of Islam are in line with our nature and very easy. This ease is for men, women, the elderly and the young. For example, let us take salah; just as we go to school, coaching, etc., regularly and punctually, we just a small amount of effort, we can offer all five daily prayers regularly.
One of the commands of Islam is to give charity and zakat, meaning, from the wealth that Allah Almighty has given us, we give a small amount in His way. Young, non-bāligh children should not use their own money, rather they should ask their parents for money and make a habit of giving in the way of Allah Almighty.
We are currently in the month of Ramadan, and Muslim have been commanded to fast in this month. Even though fasting is not necessary for young children, they should get into the habit of fasting from time to time.
Showing compassion to the young, respecting the elderly, removing something harmful from the path, and being good to parents, are all things that our religion of Islam teaches us to do.
Dear children, there is no command in our religion that is impossible to act upon. May Allah Almighty grant us the ability to act upon the commandments of Islam.
اٰمِیْنْ بِجَاہِ خاتَمِ النَّبِیّٖن صلَّی اللہُ عَلَیْہ ِوَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ
