Mankind is Created Weak

Aaoodhoo billahe minashaitan rajeem 

 An-Nisa' 4:27

وَٱللَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَن يَتُوبَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَيُرِيدُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَّبِعُونَ ٱلشَّهَوَٰتِ أَن تَمِيلُوا مَيْلًا عَظِيمًا 

Allah wants to accept your repentance, but those who follow [their] passions want you to digress [into] a great deviation.



 An-Nisa' 4:28

يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ أَن يُخَفِّفَ عَنكُمْۚ وَخُلِقَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ ضَعِيفًا 

And Allah wants to lighten for you [your difficulties]; and mankind was created weak.

Many times It happens that I want to achieve something big. Something big in ayahs of Allah but seems ridiculous in terms of worldly gain. For example living like Prophet Muhammad saw in a small home, eating like him meaning eating just how much is needed, wearing like him meaning not wearing extravagant dresses, spending like him meaning not hoarding any money or gold for family and children, trusting on Allah like him, strengthening the family ties ignoring their injustices, working like him meaning taking care of my chores myself without depending on maids etc.  I might have good intention but I don't know how-to achieve it. I share the idea with somebody and that somebody is under the influence of Satan right now and starts discouraging me about it and I loose the courage. That's where ayah 27, 28 helps. We are created weak and we get even weaker by doing all extra stuff that Prophet Muhammad saw didn't do and then deviate from main purpose. May Allah save us all from those who follow their desires and May Allah strengthen our iman. Ameen.
