Happiness
Written by Zafar Hashim Azmi
The concept of happiness differs from one person to another, depending on each person's different view it has giant meaning.
On the scale of Islamic Sharia, the happiness is not just a temporary state of joy and delight; rather it is a lifelong process aiming primarily at bringing eternal happiness, peace of mind, tranquility of heart, contentment in this world and everlasting bliss in the Hereafter.
Some see happiness in love. ❤️
Others see it in a lot of money.💰
They spend a lifetime running around collecting money here and there, oblivious to the fact that money is not permanent and his happiness is instantaneous.
Allah the Almighty says in the Holy Qur’an:
"My wealth has not been of any use
to me. My power has gone from me for
good." ( Surah Al-Haaqqah: Chapter 69, Verse 28/29)
Some see happiness in travel ✈️✈️.
And others find it in receiving knowledge ✏️📕📘.
Others see happiness as a prestigious job and a privileged position that they seek by all means while the others see that happiness is in physical and psychological health, others see it as safe and stable, others see it as faith and obedience to Allah the Almighty and win his Jannah..
Happiness is one of the human feelings that a person feels when something happens, that causes to joy and leaves good feelings towards people or situation that occur to him in everyday life.
Where will you find true happiness????
Proceeding to obey, worship and abandoning sin and iniquity.
Getting closer to Allah through His obedience and worship is a reason for Allah's love for the servant and if Allah loves a slave, He provides him the source of happiness.
Allah the Almighty says in the Holy Quran: ''but those who believe are most firm in their love for Allah.'' (chapter 1, verse 165)
look at those who do remembrance of Allah a lot, you find them always in comfort and reassurance.
Allah the Almighty says in the Holy Quran : the ones who believe and their hearts are peaceful with the remembrance of Allah. Listen, the hearts find peace only in the remembrance of Allah.” (chapter 13, verse 28)
If the heart is satisfied, the mind is relaxed, he is happy in this world and the hereafter This is the main success which the Almighty has guided us to achieve and that is because of remembering Him a lot as He said in His scared book:
"and remember Allah abundantly so that you may be successful." (chapter 8, verse 45)
May Allah bless everyone with peace, abundance, health, love, happiness, and goodness in this life and the next. May Allah grant us all with what is best for us. Amen!
