Three Ingredients to Happiness

Did You Know?
That Islam teaches us ways to be happy?

Yes, here are the Three Ingredients to Happiness:

1. Gratitude: We are blessed us with bounties every second by our creator, let us be grateful and thankful to Allah for all these. Let us also be thankful to those becomes a means of help from Allah. E.g. if someone does us a favour, thank him.

To be grateful to Allah for our current status, think of people below our status and less fortunate than us. Think about the good qualities in ourselves and our family and thank Allah.

Have a Gratitude ATTITUDE!

2. Prefer Others before Yourself: Helping others makes us happy and the more we help others, the more we get closer to Allah.

In surveys it is found that once our basic needs are met, then money does not make us happy any more. Experiences through journeys and adventures make a person happy. What about a Hajj or Umrah?

3. Behave like a happy person: Even if we are sad, smile and behave like a happy person. When we smile at a person that person smiles back. So smile is ‘Infectious’:)

Never let others know our sad feelings. Express everything to Allah. The more we feel sad in our lives, the more ungrateful to Allah we shall become. Instead behave happily and Insha Allah we shall tend to become happy automatically.

True Success and Happiness comes from the Submission to Allah.
