Islam offers the answers to all the problems that burden humanity. Knowing this truth brings genuine happiness, as it helps us rise above the endless pursuit of self-gratification and material possessions.
Islam teaches us that life is temporary — a short pause on the path to eternal life. Striving to follow the teachings of Islam and seeking the pleasure of God reminds us of our true purpose.
Allah says in the Qur’an:
“But whoever turns away from My Reminder – indeed, he will have a difficult life, and We will raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection.” (Qur’an 20:124)
And He also says:
“Verily, I am Allah! There is no deity except Me, so worship Me.” (Qur’an 20:14)
The key to happiness is knowing and worshipping God.
When a person remembers and worships the Creator as He should be remembered and worshipped, true happiness surrounds them even in times of hardship.
It appears in the smile of a child, the touch of a comforting hand, the rain that revives dry land, and the scent of spring. These are all signs of God’s mercy and love.
