But if that same deed later becomes easy and feels natural, does the reward decrease? How should a person avoid spiritual stagnation once acts of worship or charity no longer feel difficult? Should one focus more on deeds that are harder, or continue with what comes easily as long as the intention is sincere?\\n\"}]}","answer":"{\"ops\":[{\"insert\":\"Continue the good deeds that Allah has made easy for you, and do not abandon them because they no longer feel difficult. Ease itself is a blessing and a sign of tawfiq (divine facilitation), not a reduction in reward.\\n\\nReward is not based on hardship alone, but on sincerity, consistency, and humility. Difficulty increases reward when it exists, but the absence of struggle does not diminish reward if the deed is done sincerely.\\n\\nThe prophet ﷺ said that the most beloved works to Allah are those that are consistent, even if they are small.\\n\\nDo not go searching for hardship for its own sake. Rather, take advantage of the doors of goodness Allah has opened for you, and thank Him for making it easy. At the same time, strive to diversify your works.\\n\\nMaintain gratitude, renew your intention often, and guard against complacency. If Allah has made a path of goodness easy for you, stay upon it, and ask Him for acceptance and steadfastness.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fff0b76658b4c232b60","tag":"Worship: Other","count":54}],"createdOn":"2025-12-20T21:39:04.136Z"}
