Why Are You Not Happy?

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

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate

Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

If you are not happy with your life, know that because you are far away from Allah. Allah is the source of happiness. If we were to know Allah in the way that we are supposed to know Him, we wouldn't have the time to think about other than Him--that includes things that bother some or most people. Your Lord is always there and He is watching. So we should find happiness in that, that we are not alone. Why then are we mad at people who do us wrong, why then we want to get even, why then we hold grudges and "kill" ourselves over it--when they cheated you, or lied to you, or even beat you up. They are wronging themselves more and you should be sorry for them--for they can be the bankrupt in the Day of Judgment. If you cannot thank Allah for what they did to you, be patient and the reward is tremendous for you. Allah is with the patient.

May Allah not leave us alone even for a blink of an eye and makes us among the patient. Ameen. Please keep us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.

Wassalaam

A Bankrupt

BismillahirRahmanirRahim
Assalaamu alaykum

I pray that you are well.

The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, said:

"A Muslim is the one the Muslims are safe from his tongue and his hands." Bukhari and Muslim

"None of you truly believe until he wants for his brother what he wants for himself." Bukhari

"Verily, the bankrupt person from my nation is one who comes on the Day of Standing with prayers, fasts, zakat payments; he comes having insulted this person, falsely accused this person, wrongfully ate the wealth of this person, and beat this person. This person is given from his good deeds. If his good deeds are exhausted before paying off what he owes, he takes from their sins which are cast on him, then he is casted into the Fire. (Muslim)

Hurting someone is a serious matter and could take you to the Fire. So before you say something, before you do something to another person, first ask yourself this: Are my words or my actions going to count for me or against me in the Day of Judgment?

"Every soul shall taste death; and We try you with evil and good as a test, then unto Us you shall be returned." Qur'an al-Anbiya 21:35

May Allah protect us from all evils and from being the cause of evils. Ameen.

Wassalaam
