إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًۭا ٩٤:٦
In Surah Al-Inshirah, Allah promises the believers, “So surely, with hardship comes ease. Indeed, with hardship comes ease”. In this repetition, Allah promises us that at the first strike of difficulty, Allah sends with it ease. Although we may not see the ease when we are in the thickest part of our trial, Allah’s promise is always fulfilled.
One of the splendors of the Quran is its concision. Guidance is given in such few words and so every word in the Quran is extremely purposeful. Every ayah in the Quran is written with extreme gravity. Therefore, when something in the Quran is repeated, and even more so, repeated immediately after it has just been written, it is extremely important.

He says “Indeed, with” -- not “Indeed, after” nor “Indeed, if”, which means that Difficulty and Ease come as a unit. And if Allah promises it’s there, then it is, even to our weak eyes.
I pray that when wearing this necklace, you stay hopeful in that your hardship is a means to get closer to Allah. I pray that you are stronger than your adversity. I pray that your ease helps lighten the magnitude of your difficulty.
