Before facing Fir’awn, Musa (AS) didn’t ask for the task to be removed. He asked to be made capable of it: “My Lord, expand for me my chest and make my task easy for me.” (20:25-26) Not “make the mountain disappear,” but “give me a chest wide enough to carry it.”
Often that’s what we need too: not fewer difficulties, but the capacity and calm to meet them. Whatever you’re walking into, ask Allah for the same. May He open our hearts and ease our affairs. Ameen.
Sheikh Ibn Baz رحمه الله said,
“Whoever's affair has been made easy they should marry even if it is before his older brother even if it is before their older sister. He should not wait. When Allah makes marriage easy then let him rush to marriage.”
[Marital Guide Pg. 39]
Suspicion leads to spying. You think something's wrong so you investigate, listen at doors and scroll through phones. وَلَا تَجَسَّسُوا۟ — 'Do not spy' (49:12). The Prophet ﷺ warned us about this path.
Narrated `Aisha (RA): Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) offered witr prayer at different nights at various hours extending (from the `Isha' prayer) up to the last hour of the night.
(Sahih al-Bukhari 996, Book 14, Hadith 7)
Ibn Kathir رحمه الله, said:
"A believer will inevitably face trials in their wealth, their own life, their children, or their family.
A believer is tested in proportion to their faith; if their faith is firm, their trials are increased."

Malik ibn Dinar رحمه اللّٰه said:
“Since I’ve learned the reality of people, I don’t care who praises or criticizes me; as they’ll be excessive in both.”
[Az-Zuhd of al-Bayhaqi (154)]
