Happiness in Islam

[Ancient lion]

A person who believes in God alone without associating with Him any partner, with a belief that is pure and free from any defects, will enjoy a tranquil heart, a peaceful soul, and will not be full of worry and anxiety over life. He will be pleased with whatever Allah has ordained for him; thankful for all the good things in his life and patient with misfortune. The submission of a believer to Allah gives him the peace of mind that a person needs in order to be industrious and hard working. This is because he senses that his life has meaning and a definite purpose that he must strive to achieve.
Allah says:

Those who believe and do not mix their belief with iniquity, for them there is security and they are the rightly guided.​

Faith is not only a means to attain happiness; it is also a means to ward off the things that prevent happiness.
This is because the believer knows that he is going to be tried and tested throughout his life and that these trials are opportunities for him to put his faith into practice. They help the believer to develop inner strength through the noble qualities of patience and determination, and through trusting in Allah, seeking His assistance, and fearing Him alone. These qualities are some of the most effective ways of realizing the objectives of life, and of bearing life’s trials.
Allah says:

If you are suffering, then they too are suffering as you are, but you hope from Allah what they do not hope for.​

God is the greatest source of peace for the heart, and the one whose remembrance can bring joy to the soul. Remembrance of God is the pleasure and comfort of the believer while attaining what benefits him and avoiding what harms him. For this reason, Islamic Law prescribes a number of specific remembrances to relate the Muslim back to his Lord whatever the circumstance, in every place, and at all times, when hoping for something desired, or fearing something disliked.

These remembrances connect the believer’s conscience with his Creator, so he sees beyond the cause and effect relationships in the world around him. Consequently, he does not exaggerate their importance so much that they can disturb his spirit. He does no exalt the worldly causes of things beyond their limits, because he realizes that these causes in and of themselves have no effect, but their effects come only by the decree of God. Allah says:

Verily, in the remembrance of Allah hearts find rest. ​

Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) spoke of the necessity of taking proper action to accomplish what one wants to accomplish, seeking the help of Allah, and not grieving if the results are not the ones that were hoped for. He said:

“Strive for what benefits you and seek the help of God and do not behave as if you are incapable. And do not say, ‘If only I had done this or that, it would have been this way or that.’ Instead say, ‘Allah decreed what he decreed and what he wishes to do, he does.’​

Happiness and Contentment



One of the secrets of happiness is the feeling of contentment..

the happiness of islam is the knowledge that muslims have the right to rape non muslims

Mental Health:
Non-Muslims often seek happiness in alcohol or drugs; yes, those who consume alcohol and drug users describe moments of euphoria, but those moments are followed by long periods of misery and dejection. Every worldly pleasure and enjoyment has one thing in common: it is fleeting and momentary. Happiness, on the other hand, is sustained and long-term.

The rational mind is the basis for accountability in Islamic Law. Therefore, the Wise Lawgiver commands that it should be preserved and protected and prohibits everything that can diminish it or cause it harm. Alcoholic beverages and drugs are among the worst things that can cause the loss of mental faculties. For this reason, God has forbidden them, He says:

O you who believe, intoxicants, gambling, idols, and divination are abominations of Satan’s handiwork. So avoid all of it so that perhaps you might be successful. Satan wants only to excite enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants and gambling and hinder you from the remembrance of Allah and from prayer. So will you not then abstain?
​

Here Br. Abu Sumayyah Lebron shares how he turned around his life for better. He talks about how he got out of the environment of drugs, drinking and partying, and started a life with a goal to please his Creator.

In reality-----alcoholism and drug abuse is very common amongst muslims. In shariah shit holes---over the past 1400 years-----based on the BS lie of "toleration" in islam---both Christians and Jews who caved into the filth of dhimmia were "allowed" to make wine. The REAL purpose was to provide muslims with intoxicants. The system breaks down when shariah shit progressively decimates that populations of non muslims----but the drug trade today-----is actually in the hand of islam

Spiritual Health:
Islamic Law encourages the believer to remember God at all times. Likewise it makes a minimum amount of worship obligatory upon him to ensure that he gets his spiritual nourishment. This includes the prescribed prayers, fasting, Zakah , and the Hajj/pilgrimage. It then opens for him a wide door for voluntary worship of every kind. These forms of worship return the worshipper to his Lord and reaffirm the bond that exist between him and Godnwhenever the deluge of worldly concerns starts to sweep him away. For this reason, God’s Messenger (peace be upon him) used to say to Bilâl, the one who would give the call to prayer:
“O Bilâl, let us find relaxation in prayer.”

Islamic Law prohibits everything that can cause spiritual sickness and weakness. It prohibits us from following our vain desires, clinging to baseless beliefs, and devotion to pleasure, because these things blind the heart and make it heedless of Allah’s remembrance. For this reason, God says, describing the unbelievers in the following way:

Those who disbelieve will enjoy this world and eat as cattle eat, and the Hellfire will be their abode.​

right-----it is actually true----as my colleagues have ASSURED me, that in muslim countries----the medical schools teach that "mental illness" is a sickness ONLY
of kaffirin---------muslims never get depressed unless they slip into "kufr" or---"shirk" or whatevah Physical disease is also caused by "lack of islam"---For many years the SAUDIS provided that WHO with a stat ------"NO HIV IN
SAUDI ARABIA" ie muslims don't get that nasty sickness --------at conferences even the muslim docs laughed. -------of course it was a lie-----they finally gave up on that bit of idiocy sometime in the 90s. I should add that when the Saudis broke down and admitted they have cases of AIDS-----they blamed it on the fact of
foreign workers (yeah, right).

Islam is an evil ideology. 'nuff said.

Emotional Health:
Many people are heedless of the importance of emotional health and are equally heedless of the way to take care of it, in spite of the fact that it a basic pillar of happiness. For this reason, Islam strives to develop a person’s inner state in the best manner, purifying it with noble qualities. One of the most important matters here is the development of a balanced, harmonious, and composed emotional makeup. The basis for an upright emotional character is, first and foremost, faith.God says:

Do not strain your eyes in longing for the things that we have given to some groups of them to enjoy, the splendor of the life of this world, through which we test them. But the provision of your Lord is better and more lasting.​

Thereafter come the other important elements of an upright emotional character, like possessing a high standard of morality and avoiding ignoble traits like worldly ardor, envy, anger, pride, conceit, stinginess and malice, traits that can only lead to emotional instability and anxiety.God says

- O you who believe, let not one group scoff at another; it may be that the latter are better than the former. Nor let some women scoff at other women; it may be that the latter are better than the former. Do not defame one another and do not call each other by nicknames. How evil is the name of iniquity after faith. And whoever does not repent, these are indeed transgressors. O you who believe, avoid much suspicion. Indeed some suspicion is sinful. And do not spy on or backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it. And fear Allah. Verily, Allah is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful.
​

Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said:

“If there are three of you, do not two of you talk secretly to one another to the exclusion of the third until you mix with other people, because you may hurt his feelings.”​

 

[Dajjal]

The words fear Allah appears many times in the Quran. The following verses about what Allah will do to unbelievers are good reasons to fear him. The Quran makes plain that these punishments are for all eternity.

22.19 These two antagonists dispute with each other about their Lord: But those who deny (their Lord),- for them will be cut out a garment of Fire: over their heads will be poured out boiling water.
22.20 With it will be scalded what is within their bodies, as well as (their) skins.
22.21 In addition there will be maces of iron (to punish) them.
22.22 Every time they wish to get away therefrom, from anguish, they will be forced back therein, and (it will be said), "Taste ye the Penalty of Burning!"


4.56 Those who reject our Signs, We shall soon cast into the Fire: as often as their skins are roasted through, We shall change them for fresh skins, that they may taste the penalty: for God is Exalted in Power, Wise.

Physical health:
Man is naturally concerned with preserving his physical health, this being part of his instinct to survive. It is also a means of realizing his worldly aims of attaining food, drink, clothing, and transportation.

Islam is concerned with man’s survival and physical health. It forbids murder and prohibits consuming things that are hazardous to one’s health. God says:

Do not kill a person – whose life Allah has made sacred – except in the dispensation of justice.​

God’s Messenger (peace be upon him) says:

“There shall be no harm nor causing of harm.”​

Alcoholic liver disease:
During the early days of Islam, consumption of liquor, just like other ills and evils of society, was also prevalent. When Prophet Muhammad migrated from Makkah to Madinah he found that the people of Madina were also indulged in drinking. The masses were so attracted by the superficial and deceptive benefits offered by drinking that their minds became oblivious of the harmful effects and the evils lurking within these addictions.

Our Prophet was the finest model who set the best example of his sublime characteristic, so much that whatever was yet to be declared prohibited His habit and nature made him detest it from the very outset.

Muslims are happy whenever they follow the orders of their creator. They are potentially immune against this devastating disease.
Quran 2:219

"They ask you concerning wine and gambling. Say: "In them there is great sin, and some profit, for men, but sin is greater than the profit."​

Alcohol is detrimental to your health especially your liver. Alcohol remains the second most common cause of liver cirrhosis after hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in the United States.
Drinking too much alcohol can lead to three types of liver conditions - fatty liver, hepatitis and 'scarring' of the liver (cirrhosis). You are unlikely to develop these problems if you are a muslim. For all types of liver disease caused by alcohol, the main treatment is to stop drinking alcohol completely.

When you drink alcohol, it is absorbed into the bloodstream from the stomach and intestines. All blood from the stomach and intestines first goes through the liver before circulating around the whole body. So, the highest concentration of alcohol is in the blood flowing through the liver.

Is this justice?
Hadith Bukhari

Volume 8, Book 82, Number 794:

Narrated Anas:

Some people from the tribe of 'Ukl came to the Prophet and embraced Islam. The climate of Medina did not suit them, so the Prophet ordered them to go to the (herd of milch) camels of charity and to drink, their milk and urine (as a medicine). They did so, and after they had recovered from their ailment (became healthy) they turned renegades (reverted from Islam) and killed the shepherd of the camels and took the camels away. The Prophet sent (some people) in their pursuit and so they were (caught and) brought, and the Prophets ordered that their hands and legs should be cut off and that their eyes should be branded with heated pieces of iron, and that their cut hands and legs should not be cauterized, till they die.

“Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.” — Bukhari 9.84.57

Sahih Bukhari

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 260:


Ali burnt some people and this news reached Ibn 'Abbas, who said, "Had I been in his place I would not have burnt them, as the Prophet said, 'Don't punish (anybody) with Allah's Punishment.' No doubt, I would have killed them, for the Prophet said, 'If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.' "

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 37:

I said, "By Allah, Allah's Apostle never killed anyone except in one of the following three situations: (1) A person who killed somebody unjustly, was killed (in Qisas,) (2) a married person who committed illegal sexual intercourse and (3) a man who fought against Allah and His Apostle and deserted Islam and became an apostate."

Volume 9, Book 84, Number 57:

Some Zanadiqa (atheists) were brought to 'Ali and he burnt them. The news of this event, reached Ibn 'Abbas who said, "If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allah's Apostle forbade it, saying, 'Do not punish anybody with Allah's punishment (fire).' I would have killed them according to the statement of Allah's Apostle, 'Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.'"

Volume 9, Book 89, Number 271:

A man embraced Islam and then reverted back to Judaism. Mu'adh bin Jabal came and saw the man with Abu Musa. Mu'adh asked, "What is wrong with this (man)?" Abu Musa replied, "He embraced Islam and then reverted back to Judaism." Mu'adh said, "I will not sit down unless you kill him (as it is) the verdict of Allah and His Apostle

Volume 9, Book 84, Number 58:

There was a fettered man beside Abu Muisa. Mu'adh asked, "Who is this (man)?" Abu Muisa said, "He was a Jew and became a Muslim and then reverted back to Judaism." Then Abu Muisa requested Mu'adh to sit down but Mu'adh said, "I will not sit down till he has been killed. This is the judgment of Allah and His Apostle (for such cases) and repeated it thrice. Then Abu Musa ordered that the man be killed, and he was killed.
