Faith: The Way To Happiness - Part 2 - The Unhappiness Of The Society Of The Ignorant

Allah is the source of all blessings, so if people are to be truly happy they should live their lives in accordance with His teachings. Unfortunately, many people ignore this and instead seek happiness in boasting of their possessions and competing with others in wealth and children. This leads to unhappiness, as they never feel satisfied and develop strained relationships with those around them. Thankfully, Allah reminds us of the consequences of this misbehavior, so we should remind ourselves of the real purpose of life and be grateful for the blessings we have been given.

Allah has given people everything they need for life, but some are not content and strive to acquire more and more in order to be happy. This leads to an ungrateful attitude towards Allah, and selfishness in society. The desire to possess the blessings of the world harms both the individual and the community, with some people clinging to their possessions and encouraging others to do the same, despite the fact that Allah has warned that this is not the path to true happiness. In order to understand the real nature of life, Allah has compared it to a rain shower - transient and beautiful, but soon gone.

Such a person's love is directed towards those who are not worthy of it, and the unhappiness caused by this can never be removed. Allah is the one true deity who should be feared, obeyed, and loved. Ascribing partners to Allah is a grievous wrong and is never forgiven, and leads to unhappiness in life. Loving other than Allah, despite His infinite might, leads to disappointment and pain. Therefore, it is important to love Allah and follow His instructions in order to have a fulfilling life.

Allah is the only divine being with power and intelligence. A person who accepts Allah as their only God will strive to gain His approval and love, unlike someone who has adopted several false gods and is left in a state of psychological turmoil, dealing with conflicting interests and never obtaining the best result. Allah gives us this wise example to help us understand the difference between these two types of person and protect ourselves from setting up false gods. Fate is in Allah's hands, and He is the only One Who can help us and make us well.

We must remember that it is Allah Who causes everything to be done and no creature has any power of its own. Allah is the only one with power and fate, not any beings or objects. People are heedless and deceived if they expect help from anything other than Allah, as all their efforts are in vain. This wrong path of ascribing partners to Allah will only result in regret and psychological collapse on the Day of Judgment with no hope of happiness in their lifetimes. To be free from this deception, people should turn towards Allah, listen to their conscience, and praise His power and omnipotence.

This person, who does not believe in fate, will be full of anxiety and tension during the examination. He will be in a state of inner conflict, because he knows that the result of the examination is very important for his life, and that even the slightest mistake could cause him to fail. This person will be in a state of constant worry and fear. Allah informs us of this in the Qur'an: Belief in Allah and submission to fate is essential for a person to experience happiness and peace.

Allah is All-Strong, Almighty, and if He helps you, no one can vanquish you. Everything in a person's life has been planned by Allah before they are even born, and it is impossible to escape or change one's fate. With trust in Allah and a proper understanding of fate, a person can be at ease and accept the outcome of their life with peace, whether it is good or bad.
