In this article, we will explore the concept of happiness through the teachings of Islam.
Islam is not just a religion it is a complete way of life. Nothing is too small or too great to fall outside the guidance of Islam. It teaches us to rejoice, stay positive, and live in peace. This message is conveyed clearly through the Quran and the authentic teachings of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
Every commandment from God is designed to bring happiness and benefit to individuals. in their worship, financial dealings, and social interactions. Allah says in the Quran:
“Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer—We will surely grant him a good life, and We will surely give them their reward [in the Hereafter] according to the best of what they used to do.”
(Quran 16:97)
As many of us have come to realize, true happiness is that deep sense of contentment and peace. a soft, lasting joy that brings a smile to the heart. It is rooted in faith in God and obedience to His guidance.
Islam defines happiness as the peace and security that come with submission to God. Its teachings strengthen this inner peace and provide a roadmap to a fulfilling life in this world.
Yet Islam also reminds us that this worldly life is only a path leading to eternal joy in the Hereafter. By living according to Islamic principles, one can enjoy happiness in this life while looking forward to eternal happiness in the next.
