BackThe way for Happinessby Shaik: Mohammad AbdulRahamanHappiness is the greatest objective for all of mankind. Everyone spends his life and utilizes his energy to reach this happiness. This age is the Age of innovations and highly advanced technology. But there is a question which poses itself, "Has mankind reached happiness?" The answer is "No". And following is evidence: 1. The spread of drug addictions among the desperate. 2. High crime rates. 3. The psychiatric clinics are filled with patients. All this evidences shows that humans have lost the happiness in this wold except those who Allah’s Mecy’s has befallen. So what is the way to happiness..? We can find the answer in The Noble Qur’an. Allah the Almighty described Himself: "Should not He who has created know? And He is the Most Kind and Courteous (to His slaves), All-Aware ( of everything)." (67:14). This verse shows that Allah knows the way for our happiness, because He is our creator. Allah the Al-Mighty said: "...Then if there comes to you guidance from Me, then whoever follows My Guidance he shall neither go astray, nor shall be distressed." (20:123) this verse shows that following Allah’s way is the way to reach happiness and that misery and distress will be upon those who stray form Allah’s path. Also Allah said: "But whosoever turns away from May Reminder (I.e. neither believes in this Qura’an nor acts on its teachings) verily, for him is a life of hardship, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection." (20:124). And in another verse Allah promised those who do good deeds a happy life. Allah said: Whoever works righteousness-whether male or female -while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him We will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), And We shall pay them certainly a reward in proportion to the best of what they used to do (I.e. in heaven)." (16:97). Good life is a promise from Allah for the believers who dorighteousness. Ibn Al-Qaim, may Allah’s mercy be upon him, described the good life by saying: "It’s the rest and happiness of the heart by the sweetness of the faith (Iman). The life, the lightning, and the strength of the heart are by the Iman. Iman acts like food, medication and cure for the heart. And this is the meaning of happiness for the believers. On the other hand, the meaning of happiness for the lovers of this worldly life is presented by having palaces, luxurious cars, treasures, eating, drinking, and fulfilling their sexual desires. Allah the Al-Mighty said:" …. While those who disbelieve enjoy themselves and eat as cattle eat; and the Fire will be their abode.” (47:12) |
