How To Be The Happiest People On Earth?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate

Anything of this world that you derive pleasure from is not happiness. When the thing is gone, or you have become used to it, or something new replaces it, the pleasure for it is gone. Happiness is not define by what you own and possess but happiness come from within.

Everything on this earth has its appointed time. Anything that has been created will come to an end, except for the One who created all of creation. The real pursuit is for the Creator – the Creator of happiness – and not the feeling of happiness itself, for finding the Creator of it all will provide happiness. So seek Allah, the Everlasting Sovereign, and you will gain the abundance of His creation. Seeking Allah will lead you to a never-ending felicity called happiness.

The one who worship Allah is the happiest person in this world and the next. It is the righteous in this world who will get the dunya and hereafter.

أَلَآ إِنَّ أَوْلِيَآءَ ٱللَّهِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ ﴿٦٢﴾ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَكَانُوا۟ يَتَّقُونَ ﴿٦٣﴾ لَهُمُ ٱلْبُشْرَىٰ فِى ٱلْحَيَو‌ٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَفِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ ۚ لَا تَبْدِيلَ لِكَلِمَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ ذَ‌ٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ﴿٦٤﴾

Unquestionably, [for] the allies of Allah there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve (62) Those who believed and were fearing Allah (63) For them are good tidings in the worldly life and in the Hereafter. No change is there in the words of Allah. That is what is the great attainment. (64) And let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, honor [due to power] belongs to Allah entirely. He is the Hearing, the Knowing. (65)

Allah Most High reminded us that,

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ ﴿٥٦

And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me. [Quran, Adh-Dhariyat 51:56]

When you choose Allah life becomes beautiful. You have purpose, life has a meaning and there is something for you to do. When you neglect Allah then all the pleasures of this world that has to offer will mot make you even a fraction of what the worship of Allah will make you.

Everybody know that everybody is going to die. There is no one person who is going to live forever. Then we need to think about why we are here and what is going to happen after we die. This is why religion is so important. The religion explains why we are here.

Allah Most Highs says in Surah Yunus,

قُلْ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِن كُنتُمْ فِى شَكٍّ مِّن دِينِى فَلَآ أَعْبُدُ ٱلَّذِينَ تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَـٰكِنْ أَعْبُدُ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِى يَتَوَفَّىٰكُمْ ۖ وَأُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿١٠٤

Say, [O Muhammad], "O people, if you are in doubt as to my religion - then I do not worship those which you worship besides Allah; but I worship Allah, who causes your death. And I have been commanded to be of the believers. [Quran, Yunus 10:104]

Allah is telling people to wake up from their slumber and think about why they are here. Don't just live a heedless lifestyle, living for the moment like animals. Death will come to you sooner or later. What have you done for your life?

May Allah make us of the righteous and grant us an excellent ending and join us with the righteous. Aameen.

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam.

And Allah knows best and is Most Wise, and He alone grants success, and to Him is the final return of all.

Wassalaam
