10. 1. By "difficulty" is meant disbelief, disobedience, and the way of evil, that is, We will make the path of disobedience easy for him, so that the paths of goodness and happiness will become difficult for him. This subject has been mentioned in several places in the Noble Quran, that whoever adopts the path of goodness and guidance, Allah rewards him with goodness and success, and whoever chooses evil and disobedience, Allah leaves him to his own state. This is according to the decree that Allah has written with His knowledge. (Ibn Kathir)
