Gentle Reminders from Hadith About Easing Into Faith

Salaam everyone, just sharing some Hadith and a verse that have been on my mind. I’m not trying to interpret them or say what’s right or wrong-just passing them along for anyone who might be pushing themselves too hard in deen, to the point of harm. > "Indeed, this religion is easy, and no one overburdens himself in religion except that it will overcome him. So follow the right course, seek closeness to Allah, and give glad tidings." (Sahih al-Bukhari) And from the Quran: "There is no compulsion in religion" (2:256) and "Allah does not burden a soul beyond what it can bear" (2:286). > "Ruined are the extremists (Al-Mutanatti'un)!" > "Ruined are the extremists!" > "Ruined are the extremists!" > [Sahih Muslim] May these be a comfort to whoever needs them. JazakAllah khair.

No compulsion, but also no harshness on ourselves. May Allah accept our efforts even if they're small but consistent.

Yeah, sometimes we make the deen harder than it is. Allah knows our intentions.

SubhanAllah, I was just thinking about this yesterday. Felt guilty for not being able to keep up with all the extra fasts. Thanks for sharing, it eased my heart.
