The Holy Quran 4:28 — Surah An-Nisa

Arabic text

يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ أَن يُخَفِّفَ عَنكُمْ ۚ وَخُلِقَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ ضَعِيفًا

Translation

Allaah wishes to unburden (lighten) you (by simplifying the laws of the Shari'ah). Man has been created weak (and will therefore find it difficult to obey commands that are too difficult. Therefore concessions have been made for every law).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The rulings of the shariah are easy: that is, Allah has created man weak, and He knows well how far he is able to be patient in [restraining himself from] his desires and the things he craves. Therefore lightening has been taken into account in every command; it was not that whatever was seen to be beneficial for man was laid upon him, whether easy or hard.
