"Somebody said Muslim fasting is easy because we eat breakfast but only miss lunch
And I said yes! Allah has made Islam easy for us
The Glorious Qur'an in chapter 2 verse 286 says:
"Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear…”
No Sheikh or Imam can increase the number of days (fasting) or extend the period beyond sunset.
It's just 29-30 days in a year, other ones are voluntary
And It's not only our fasting that's made it easy
Even our way of worship is made easy for us
A Muslim can worship in any mosque
And If you can not find water to perform ablution, Allah permits the use of sand
Furthermore, any Muslim who can not stand to pray due to circumstances can also do so while sitting and even in sleeping positions
Our ZZakatwas made easy, it's just 2.5% of one wealth per annum provided you're not indebted to anyone
Yes! 2.5% per year not monthly
And if you are to marry in Islam, just get both parents or representatives and conduct the program in less than 5 minutes, you're done
Every other ceremony is man-made.
Burial in Islam is most easiest.
No need to start borrowing to give your parents or loved ones unnecessary befitting burial.
Once the person is proclaimed dead, get white clothes, bathe the dead, offer prayer, and bury the dead. Finish, nothing else
To name your child is also easy, once the child is born, name him/her and...
..if you can afford sheep, buy, and if unable to do so, forget it. No need to borrow
If you are to lend or borrow money, do so without collecting interest on the loan.
And it's forbidden to hoard goods with the aim of re-selling when the price goes up
Just imagine if these are practiced globally today
And if anything happened whether good or bad, just link it to Allah and not anybody
Islam has made it easy, to become a Muslim
Just make sshahadathat "There are no gods but God and Muhammad (SAW) is His messenger"
Then know and practice the five pillars of Islam and believe only in the six things Islam enjoins us to believe. Nothing else.
These are just a few of the beauty of Islam.
Islam is beautiful, I'm proud to be a Muslim.
Ramadan 🌙 Mubarak"
