To Be the Happiest Person on Earth
If you look at majority of mankind, they spent their lives in art, singing,
playing, and accumulating “the pleasure of this life”. Instead, say
“Alhamdulillah” and “what Allah promised me is much better than what
they accumulate.”
When seeing a person in calamity of “material life”, be very happy at the
status of your Iman.
When you see a disbeliever, thank Allah for the status of your Islam.
When you see a sinner, thank Allah for your taqwa and obedience to Him.
When you see an ignorant person, thank Allah for the knowledge that He
has given you.
When you see someone in trial, thank Allah for the ability and tawfiq that
He has granted you.
The sun is created for you, enjoy the sunshine; the wind is created for
you, enjoy the breeze; the river is created for you, enjoy drinking from it;
trees are created for you, enjoy their shade and fruits.
Thank the giver of everything—the Almighty, the Creator, Allah SWT.
The blind wishes to see anything and he can’t; the deaf wishes to hear
anything and can’t; the paralyzed person wishes to feel the bounty of
walking, but can’t; the mute wishes to express himself, but can’t. You
hear, see, talk, and walk—thank your Lord and don’t ever think that life
will be perfect for anyone.
Whoever has a house might not have a car. Whoever has a wife might not
have a job. And whoever has appetite to eat, might not have food. And
whoever has food might not have the health and ability to eat. Just
ponder!
To pray, to obey your Lord, and to go to the masjid is the commerce of the
hereafter.
The book is the friend of your life; good deeds are the companion in your
grave; to develop character and good manner is the crown of every
dignity; generosity is more beautiful than any clothing; disbelief and
denial is the sickness of the heart and the poison that kills your soul;
nothing is better for you than the word of revelation to purify your soul
and cure your chest from all the diseases.
Don’t make any decisions while you are in the state of anger, you will be
sorry; because the angry person has no sense of direction, vision,
guidance and he can’t see clearly.
Don’t be sad, it will never benefit you; don’t be scared, it will not benefit
your future; don’t worry or live in uncertainty, you can’t achieve anything
—it is not the road of success. Instead be calm, be humble, purify your
heart, be content, and be thankful-this is the happiness.
Don’t seek others’ respect unless you respect them; don’t blame anyone
who can’t deliver to you what you like, but blame yourself; if you want
people to be kind to you, be kind and generous to the people.
If you live in a shack, be content with what you have because those living
in the palaces will not stay there forever. And if you wear cheap clothing,
thank Allah and be content, because the expensive silk will one day get
old.
Whoever seeks the enjoyment of his nafs by giving himself what he likes
will kill his heart, his future will be diminished and he always will be in
agony and sorrow; because no one can feed all his desires as it is an ocean
without any end.
If you have a child, know that you have a palace in jannah called the
palace of hamd and thanks.
And whoever didn’t get his desire from the worldly life, his share in
jannah is waiting for him.
Bird does not get its provision in its nest; lion does not find his prey in
front of him; and the ant does not find food inside its house—everyone
has to seek and search. Seek what they seek, you will find what they find.
The hypocrites, disbelievers, and so called Muslims worry about every
noise; they die before death; they fear everything and worry from future.
They look for calamity when there is no calamity; and they imagine and
prepare for a disaster that is not there. They are afraid of every sound,
every shadow, and every motion. Their heart is torn apart and their soul
is in pieces.
If Allah chooses to place you in a certain condition, don’t ask otherwise—
He knows your condition. For example, if you are in a state of poverty,
don’t wish to be wealthy; if you are sick, don’t wish for health; and if you
are delayed from a trip, don’t wish that you hadn’t been delayed—every
condition has goodness in it for you.
If Allah SWT has not given you a husband or a wife, a good job or good
income, it is actually a blessing for you; there is goodness in all His
decisions as Allah knows and you do not know.
The rock is stronger than trees, iron is stronger than the rock, fire is
stronger than the iron, water is stronger than the fire, and the wind
carries the water therefore it is stronger than water; Iman of a believer is
stronger than all of the above.
Every trial you are going through is a lesson for you; don’t forget it. And
every calamity that reaches you, you can’t escape it. Don’t be sorry about
what you lost and don’t be sad of what you can’t reach. Destiny will take
place, whether you like it or you don’t.
Those of you who are seeking to fulfill their desires-- know that they are
transitory and will not last. All enjoyments are temporary and fleeting,
meaning no happiness is forever. Happiness attained by fulfillment of
wishes is fake and leads to nothing except sadness. Therefore,
materialistic people are the most miserable and many end up committing
suicide.
Whoever wants the elevation and the happiness in this life and the
hereafter, remember you need: a will to seek useful knowledge, good
character and manners, and a sign to be remembered.
“O Bilal (RA)! Get up and establish Salah, make us content with it O Bilal”
because Salah is the running well of tranquility, a river full of security,
and a wind calm and cool. It comes over the nafs and kills the fire of fear,
worry, and despair in the chest.
If you do not disobey your lord and do not oppress others, go to sleep
happy and content—you have already gained a great deal of goodness
and have no enemy.
Lucky, happy and successful are those who go to sleep and people pray
for them. Disgraced and severely punished are those who go to sleep and
people make du’a against them.
Glad tidings and good news to those who are loved by others and their
tongues talk goodness about them. Glad tidings to those Allah uses as
keys of goodness and locks of evil.
Loser is the one that others curse and remember his bad character and
actions.
If you can’t find justice in this earth, send your file to the court of your
Lord in the hereafter where the angels are your witness, the file is saved,
and the Judge is most Just.
Today we can, tomorrow we can’t; today you have a chance, tomorrow
you won’t; today you are alive, tomorrow you will be dead. Time of
departure is unknown, but it will come for sure, whether you like it or
don’t; whether you believe or you don’t, whether you are ready or not.
