Shaykh ibn ‘Uthaymeen [may Allāh have mercy on him] said: “How many people are there who possess little wealth yet are enjoying the comforts of life within their homes. Certainly, Allāh has blessed them in their wealth.” Ash-Sharh al-Mumti’ alā Zād al-Mustaqni’, 4/26
Contentment 🤍 with your life what ever Allah Aza’Wajaal has decreed for you. Wa’maa sha’aa fa’al. Patience to say what Allah Aza’Wajaal would be pleased with during a calamity. To be pleased with the calamity.
Wow. Alhamdulillah. May we all be in pursuit of a good life. Ameen. The brother breaks it down so well and relates it all the way back to Quran. Alhamdulillah
SubhanAllah these are by far the most beautiful facts I’ve heard to live a perfect life. Yes perfect even does not exist, but if we follow what he said that is perfection, the little mistakes of an honest person with good character and Iman ❤
Assalamu Alaikum my to all ...Happiness (?) What is happiness exactly? I think it is different for each of us! I also believe that a true believer has reached happiness while fulfilling his deen even if hardship is included..total happiness is only reached in Jennah but for most of us too far in reach and not yet comprehensible..we live in contentment and strive through our deen to happiness in Jennah In'shallah ❤
In fact I saw a video where a scientist explained that there is a differene between pleasure and happiness. Pleasure is expierienced in a short time of period for example when you have fun or buy some luxury etc and it causes your dopamine level to go up whereas happiness is a long term thing and it involves the hormone serotonin. And then they found out that what stops serotonin is actually dopamine. So the more pleasure you achieve in life the less happier you will be. I thought that it really interesting news and describes our islamic understanding well. Happiness cannot be achieved through matierelistic stuff it even damages our souls because you become addicted. The only true happiness can be achieved through dhikrullah❤
Assalamualaykum to everyone listening to this lecture...Jumaah Mubaraq and have a Blessed day ahead. Jazakallahukhyr Sheikh for this profound explanation. May Allah showers you with good health . Aameen.
Assalamu'alaikum. This is a very imp n essential thing needed for all times, up or down in life, this reminder must always b in our heart, mind & our lives
We should actually be searching for a purpose. We are born with a certain, specific tendencies and talents, by Allah's will. This is where our 'good life' lies. Where we are functioning in a purposely way. It doesn't matter whether our skill looks small in the eyes of the society. But being done with ikhlas, revered by the angels, that is the key. If this world is short of one man willing and capable to pick up the trash, imagine the difficulty it would bring to the society. So appreciate everyone's roles, and strive to be the best at our own.
These days In search of this “happiness” people are more committing sins. Example: consider a person feeling lonely or miserable he or she wants to be loved to feel happy. Thus starts to look for girlfriend or boyfriend. But when their heart is broken they will start to feel more miserable. Thus the cycle beings. I just hope this video reaches to everyone so they could understand the concept of “happiness”.
