The only thing people agreed upon
Rich or poor
Old or young
Muslim or non-Muslim
Healthy or sick
Man or woman
Everyone on this earth agreed that they seek happiness
But everyone chose his own path to achieve happiness
A guy thought that happiness is in drinking a bottle of wine,
another tried chasing girls on the streets all night long,
a girl thought happiness was in a boyfriend spending all the time with him,
a man thought happiness was in collecting money.
They're all searching for happiness, but ask anyone of them if (s)he found happiness in doing whatever (s)he's doing, you'll find the answer is "No"
Do you know why?
Coz they didn't listen to Allah... when He says :
وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَنْ ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنْكًا وَنَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْمَىٰ (١٢٤)
طه
(124) "But whosoever turns away from My Message, verily for him is a life narrowed down, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment."
Ta Ha
Every single path we choose but Allah's path won't end with happiness, you may feel moments of joy, but you'll never live happily, you wanna live a happy life and a hereafter... listen to this
مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا مِنْ ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنْثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَنُحْيِيَنَّهُ حَيَاةً طَيِّبَةً ۖ وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْرَهُمْ بِأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ (٩٧)
النحل
(97) Whoever works righteousness, man or woman, and has Faith, verily, to him will We give a new Life, a life that is good and pure and We will bestow on such their reward according to the best of their actions.
An-Nahl (The Bee)
Allah promised who takes His path a great happy life, and afterwards a magnificent paradise in the afterlife
The undescripable feeling you get while you're doing Salah at night alone with Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala
The pure little tear falling slowly from your eye while asking Allah to forgive you and have mercy upon you
The light you feel inside your heart while fasting and reading Qur'an
The control over your own self while removing your eyes from a girl passing down the street
This is the GOOD life I'm talking about, this is the self's inner peace people are searching for
We've the answer but we don't use it
We're just like a poor guy in front of a huge building full of money, he keeps using all the means to get through the door but he never reaches into his pocket to get the key of the door
Please guys let's stick to Allah's path coz it's the only one that ends with happiness
Be Moltazem... Be HappySalamo A'lykom
