Happiness is such a thing that we are all looking for today. Who does not want to be happy or does not want a beautiful life? But the question is, what does it mean to say a beautiful life?
There are some people who hate their life! They are always depressed and depressed. On the other hand, there are some people who enjoy their life, they are always happy and happy. But why is this? And what is the reason for happiness?
Many of us know that beautiful life in the Hereafter can be found in Paradise. But what will happen to this worldly life? Let us know, who gave us the life of this world,
What is the Almighty Allah (peace be upon him) saying about a beautiful life?
Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - We will surely cause him to live a good life, and we will surely give them their reward [in the Hereafter] according to the best of what they used to do...?” [Surah Nahl 97]
Everything we do in this life, maybe everything will prove to be a proof for you or there will be a documentary evidence against you. Every different moments, seconds, minutes, months, which we are passing away, which is going away from our lives, may make us closer to Allah, or vice versa, because of his displeasure, you will go to hell.
When a person wakes up in the morning, does he not see? Before long, his body was frozen, sleeping! If someone calls to him, he cannot hear, maybe someone was sitting in front of him, he could not see, he did not even know what he thought about sleeping all night.
Who is the entity that awakened him again! Turned away the sight, who gave back hearing power, or the spirit? Who is the person who gave you good healthy health while many are suffering from various physical problems! Allah blesses us so much that we cannot but love him, Allah feed us, fresh fruits, fresh meat, drinks, food water, sunlight and much more!
We thank God by saying Alhamdulillah.
Allah says in the glorious Quran:
“And if you should count the favors of Allah, you could not enumerate them. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful” (Surah Nahl 18)
See what Allah in a wonderfully says in the Quran:
“It is Allah who created the heavens and the earth and sent down rain from the sky and produced thereby some fruits as provision for you and subjected for you the ships to sail through the sea by His command and subjected for you the rivers.
And He subjected for you the sun and the moon, continuous [in orbit], and subjected for you the night and the day.
And He gave you from all you asked of Him. And if you should count the favor of Allah, you could not enumerate them. Indeed, mankind is [generally] most unjust and ungrateful.” (Surah Ibrahim (32-34))
What does Allah want us to do?
Allah wants us to do the things that are necessary for us and that we are away from some of the things which he has forbidden. If someone thinks that obedience to God or attempts to draw closer to him, his life will become difficult, sadness will come, happiness will go away - these are wrong. Rather, they are misinterpreting the commandments of Allah SW.
Allah says:
“We have not sent down to you the Qur'an that you be distressed.”(Surah Taha 2)
You are running out in search of happiness but you know what,
You can only 'enjoy life' only when you fulfill your obligations. Apart from the obedience of Allah, there is no enlightenment which will make your heart clean, or make it fair (fair). A person may have the way he enjoys the world, but there is no more 'enjoyable' than the obedience of Allah, so you can survive from the forbidden work.
You can only 'enjoy life' when you do what Allah has ordered you to do: reciting Qur'an, praying, charity, etc. You will enjoy the companionship of the companions who are on the right path (method of work), studying the religion, teaching the people and even for the sake of Allah, they are spending money.
If you say something with your mouth or do any work by your body, wait a little, ask yourself, who gave you this body and life, has allowed you to do your will? Do you have his permission?
Whatever you do, the purpose should be to take you closer to him, not the purpose of getting closer to the mayor, the deputy commissioner, the MP, the President or the Prime Minister. Rather, the goal of all the work is to satisfy the interests of King of Kings. If you do not obey God in all areas of your life, you cannot have a beautiful life anymore. Sometimes you cannot be happy. You will always be skeptical, always suspicious, always be confused, worried and anxious. It will be seen, all your life will be spent on walking behind the gold deer called happiness, but you will not find happiness, life will be miserable. Your situation will be like this, 'I lost everything I had'.
The closer you get to God, the more you can 'enjoy life'.
If you perform one rka'at, fulfills all its ranks and conditions, then the peace and content you get will not be available for anything else. Happiness cannot be bought through all the wealth of the world.
So ask yourself, are you doing the things Allah has ordered you to do? Do you pray to Allah? To follow the prohibition of the halal food, the rules of dress, to work for the establishment of the caliph, to support the jihad, fight against the occupiers, obey the parents, and stay away from the works that are forbidden. Do you follow this?
Or you are doing what you like of these and you are not following which you find difficult?
Let us know, what are the obstacles in the path of attaining the proximity to Allah?
(1) -Satan:
Stay away from those people or jinn, Satan, among them, avoid them.
They can only make you endangered and frustrated, and to keep away from the truth. Among the people, Satan is among the unbelievers, and their medium of Dawah is that you see every day on television, satellite channels, or whatever 'listening to' on the radio, they are doing exactly what you need to do to conserve some evil friends. You are spending time in your home on radio, TV songs, etc.; basically, the Satans are doing the same thing in your individual time just as a bad friend invites you to do bad things. Bad friends want to remind you of the latest fashion, the so-called star celebrities, their obscenity and the absurdity of the song, the music, where the drug addict 'star' is in anti-drug festival, they may sometimes send you links online, and in the same way they Excited for bad things.
Regrettably! You've got to find happiness.
2. To make an uneven opinion about Allah:
You've got to find happiness. But you cannot find it, because you have many evil thoughts about Allah and many other doubts about Him. When you invite people to Islam, invites Dawah, Salah, and other good charges, some people respond in reply, "... let me stay like me ... I do not want to make my life difficult by accepting them. I want to 'enjoy life’...
Those who are in doubt about Allah and do not thank God for His grace and grace
How can they get a peaceful, happy, beautiful life?
Allah says about them: "They did not understand Allah in truth". (Surah Joomla 67)
Those unbelievers believe that if they start following Islam, then their life will become difficult, they are actually misinterpreting Allah, they are on a wrong viewpoint. Therefore, to overcome these obstacles, you have to do the opposite work.
Stay away from the devil, come to Allah, and follow the Quran and Sunnah.
By accepting Islam, life will not be narrowed, but it will expand.
Islam has not been sent to narrow down human life. It has come to save people from the slavery of many Gods, to lead one to the obedience of God, has come to save you from the trouble, and brought you the search for lost happiness.
Therefore, if we go out of search for happiness, then we have to do it, leaving all the false doctrines and the false statues, start the journey towards Islam .Allah says, "Run towards the forgiveness of your Lord and to the Garden whose boundary is the heavens and the earth, which has been prepared for the righteous." (Surah Al Imran 133)
May Allah Sw guides us towards paradise. Ameen
