welcome again to another live webinar coming to you from almoner Islamic Center, Dubai, by the grace
of Allah subhanho wa Taala we were able to put up this program for the sake of Allah subhanho wa
		

			Taala. And to benefit all of you, all of our brothers and sisters, the topic is the top 10 ways to
remain happy in life. Subhan Allah, every one of us would like to be happy, and for achieving
happiness, we do so many things Subhana Allah, so in order to ensure that we actually achieve true
happiness and remain happy. This is the webinar coming to you in sha Allah in the light of the Quran
and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, this is your brother, Mohammed
and insha Allah I shall take you to the journey of knowing and exploring the top 10 ways to remain
happy in our lives. Insha Allah with the help and the mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala My beloved
		

			brothers and sisters, what we need to realize fundamentally is they should be some disclaimers that
should be loud and clear for us to go further in this webinar. Disclaimer number one, happiness does
not mean absence of problems, challenges, difficulties, issues, obstacles, and the rest. Happiness
means to ensure that we gain the ability to deal with these challenges.
		

			We need to realize and understand that we, all of us are not, you know,
		

			able to think or should not think that we,
		

			when we want to be happy, we want to live without any problems, that's not possible. The problems,
the challenges, the difficulties, are bound to be there, but the happy people, they know the art of
dealing with it. That's number one. Number two happiness in life in Islam, or the Islamic context of
the perspective is, it comes from Allah subhanho wa Taala he is the owner and the source of
happiness.
		

			Disclaimer number three,
		

			we will be showing the 10 ways of making ourselves of being happy and remain happy insha Allah, but
that does not mean that these are only 10 ways. It could be my many other ways. However, we can say
insha Allah undoubtedly that these are the 10 most important and essential ways to remain happy in
our lives. Insha Allah, my beloved brothers and sisters in Islam.
		

			The first way to be happy and to remain happy
		

			in our lives, is to gain the pleasure of Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		

			drive yourself with these key principles that are prescribed by Allah subhanho wa Taala and
described by the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and I assure you, I guarantee you insha Allah
be isn't Allah He to Allah, no matter what the situation looks like you and I insha Allah with the
help and the permission of Allah, we'll be able to start fast and be firm in dealing with those
situations. What are these key principles is the number one the Toshi, that is oneness of Allah
subhanho wa Taala. How do we actually gain the pleasure of Allah is the
		

			First way, by believing in Allah subhanho wa Taala alone and not associating partners with him.
Number two, living ourselves based on the model of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and
number three always have this consciousness off here after the Satoshi risala and arciero these are
the driving principles that will help us to gain the momentum of being happy in our lives. Through
the belief in Allah subhanho wa Taala we actually gain the pleasure of Allah subhanho wa Taala and
Allah subhanho wa Taala he says, as I, you know, recited the beginning, a lot of Vanessa he says in
Surah Surah number 16, iron number 97 whoever does righteous deeds, whether male or female, while he
		

			is a believer, we will surely make him or give him or grant him a good life, Allahu Akbar. So who is
guaranteeing here? Allah subhanho wa Taala. So Allah says, Whoever does righteous deeds, whether
male or female, Allah subhanho wa Taala he says, while he is a believer, when he does that good
things that family saw earlier, a lot of Billerica says we will surely cause him to live a good
life, a happy life, a successful life, Allah further says, and we will surely give them their reward
in the Hereafter, according to the best of what they use to do. So, also what we need to realize is
our happiness when it comes to, you know, Islamic perspective, the happiness of this world is
		

			tightly linked and integrated with the happiness of the year after, right. So we need to understand
that we are talking about not just the not just being happy here, but being happy in the year after
as well in sha Allah. So by doing that model or that perspective, of having these key principles in
our lives, insha Allah, we will remain happy now How is it possible? How can this be practically
realized? Well, Allah subhanho wa Taala, as I said, He is the owner of happiness, he is the grantor
of happiness. And he says, and he says, that when you do good, when you rely on me, when you have
conscious of mine, when you follow and obey on my principles, I guarantee the happiness I guarantee
		

			the good life and success for you. So, obviously, when a person believes in Allah, he gains the
ability to be firm faith definitely makes a person firm in dealing with situations right. Because we
know that in life, we have to face some of the other side, you know, issue was or situation or
problem, be it financial problem, be it a problem with the relationship, beat a problem of, you
know, status be a problem of health, beat, any problem, we have to face some all the other time,
these situations. So when you have the belief in Allah subhanho wa Taala, you start trusting Allah
subhanho wa Taala and you feel relaxed, you are, you know, in the, in the, in the, in the state of
		

			consciousness of Allah subhana wa Taala and when you look at the model of the Prophet salallahu
alaihe salam, you will realize and I will realize that you know what, the prophets and the never
listen also went through all these difficulties, but he never let his faith down, he never lost his
hope in Allah subhanho wa Taala he was always be hopeful in the mercy of Allah subhanaw taala and
then when you link up with the third principle and that is the Hereafter, you know, that this
challenge situation and you know, sort of difficulties are only limited to this world, it's not
going to be there insha Allah in the hereafter a person who does this for the pleasure or for
		

			gaining the pleasure of Allah subhanaw taala will remain happy A lot of times, my beloved brothers
and sisters,
		

			we see that we tend to please people and we expect from people so what happens? We start building
our expectations to an extent that we should actually be setting up that kind of expectation only
from Allah subhanaw taala so what happens when we do not meet those expectations, those level of
hopes from people, we get upset and we get hurt.
		

			We are harmed by those things and ultimately we become sad. Ultimately, we actually failed. So we
need to understand that we need to have expectations only from Allah subhanaw taala he is the one to
reward you, He is the one to punish us. So we need to have that belief factor in Allah subhanho wa
Taala that is a done deal and Subhana Allah Allah Buddha he says in Surah Surah number 103 is number
1231 answer in Al insana, Luffy Casa Illa Lavina Manu The first thing Allah subhanaw taala mentions
in this surah about the saved people are the people who are not going to be lost or the people who
are not going to be sad or fail is the believers, the one who believes, so, seeking the pleasure of
		

			Allah subhanaw taala is the number one way to gain and to remain happy in our lives. Point number
two, self esteem, you see a lot of times we tend we tend to think about you know completely on
others and we forget ourselves Subhan Allah, this is the common mistake that happens and as a
result, we actually become sad as a result, we get dejected. Remember, my beloved brothers and
sisters, if you do not value yourself, if you do not respect yourself, if you do not make yourself
happy and satisfied, you are never going to make others happy. Remember that, remember and mark
these words, remember that we have to have a balanced self esteem, we see in the society in our
		

			lives, there are three, you know, perspectives on on this point on this, you know, issue of self
esteem, the first is extremely on high level. So people are extremely, you know, conscious of their
selves. And as a result, they become egoistic, and they, you know, tend to be proud and they
actually look down upon others. This is absolutely not desirable. The other extreme is a low self
esteem people, they think that they are nothing, people, they actually do not respect themselves.
They do not value themselves, those kind of people, they are sad, those kind of people, they do not
have that sense of happiness, because they don't think they're anything, they do not have their own
		

			worth in their minds and hearts. So how are you going to make yourself happy? Allahu Akbar. So the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said something very, very powerful. He said, You have the
heart on yourself, you have the right upon yourself. So we're not, we're not talking about that you
have to be proud, which is the one extreme, neither we're talking about, you lose your own value in
your own sight and in the sight of others. As a result, you are you you do not gain the momentum of
happiness. So make sure that you, you you be self confident, you, you know drive your own lives, you
take your own wise decisions, you gain the ability to respect yourself, and to have that, you know,
		

			belief factor, of course, seeking the pleasure of Allah subhanaw taala. Always in your mind. So when
you will have the self esteem, even you know how to carry yourself happily in sha Allah, Allah,
Allah Rizal will make you happy and will remain will make make you remain happy in sha Allah in your
life.
		

			Point number three,
		

			to have a sound heart or soul, you know, you need I need to work on our soul, our heart, we need to
ensure that you know the reflection on the Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam as he
said, true enrichment he said true enrichment does not come through possessing a lot of wealth, that
but true enrichment is the enrichment of the soul. You know, a lot of times we see that, you know,
we are we assume or some people assume that rich people are very happy. Well, that's not the case.
Sometimes, you know, a person who sleeps under a tree, you know, he looks and he seems to be a lot
more happier than the one who is living perhaps in a very high class home, roaming and driving a
		

			very fancy car. So, happiness does not mean that you have lots of wealth. Happiness means enrichment
of soul. So what
		

			nourishes your heart. What chores are what gives the feeding to your heart are many things number
one, the vicar of Allah subhanho wa Taala. Number two, not having any bad feelings, grudges, you
know, wrong thoughts about people will lie. When you have this heavy heart, you will never be able
to gain happiness. You will never be happy, unless you, you know, cure your heart. You know, because
your emotions are driven from your heart. You need to have a proper control and have a sound heart
and that is the reason Allah subhanho wa Taala. He says that on the Day of Judgment, what will be
accepted? Calvin Saleem, your sound heart, your pure heart, your healthy heart. So you and me meet
		

			to really work on this, have this heart therapy and how does it happen? You need to isolate yourself
time and again every single day, and try to you know, purify your, your feelings, and try to make
sure that you do not give any wrong, you know, feelings for anyone, anyone in Japan alone. One of
the tips that we get from one of the companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is that
every single night before he goes to bed, he used to make sure that he forgives everyone Subhan
Allah. So that's how you actually make your heart healthy. When you have a hard heart or a heavy
heart or a harsh heart.
		

			Do you think that you will you will be happy anyways? Of course not. So what's the point? What's the
benefit? What's the you know, you know, point of, of focusing on something that is going to actually
ruin or create more problems. My beloved brothers and sisters, Islam provides this recipe of making
your heart a pure heart, making your heart a healthy and sound heart when you work and we need to
really work on it. It's it's an organ as a Prophet, salallahu alaihe salam, he said, there is an
organ in your heart, if that is good, the rest of the body will be good, and that is heart. That is
heart. So you need to take care of your heart a lot, work on it rigorously, again and again, on your
		

			heart. So to make sure that your heart is pure, your heart has Allah subhanaw taala in it. You need
to have your heart, the love of the prophets and the level and he said them your heart should be
attached to Allah, your heart must be very strong, that he does not care what the people say over
what Allah subhanaw taala says. So when your heart condition is this, this spirituality, it
enlightens and it enriches and that's how you can be happy and remain happy in sha Allah, point
number four, positive mindset, positive mindset having that that positive, you know, feelings and
thought process right? with Allah subhanaw taala with the people around will help you make a and
		

			make you happy inshallah will remain. You happy B is indeed it to Allah. Allah subhanho wa Taala he
says Anna in the name of dB Allahu Akbar, Allah subhanaw taala says Anna in the Vani Abebe, I am as
my servant thinks of me. So what is that you think of your, your, your maker, your Creator, Allah
subhanaw taala if you have good hopes, in Allah, Allah will give you that if you want to, to seek
happiness from Allah subhanaw taala Allah will give you that if you have high hopes, success, you
know, and good life, expecting from Allah subhanaw taala will give you that so have positive hopes
in the mercy of Allah subhanaw taala a lot of Isaiah is is locked up in a tumor Rahmatullah do not
		

			know lose hope in the mercy of Allah subhanaw taala so have extremely high hopes in Allah subhanho
wa Taala we always positively You know, a lot of times we think that you know, what, if I have done
something wrong, and then I start to build an opinion on myself for myself, expectation from Allah
subhana wa Taala that Allah is not going to forgive me, you know, I am actually airing I am actually
really falling short in doing good deeds, and I'm not able to do this and that and as a result, you
build up an opinion and impression about Allah subhanaw taala that he will let you down. Allahu
Akbar. This is a grave mistake. And it's not done by anyone except those who are losers. It's not
		

			done by anyone except those who are sad people. If you and me one
		

			To remain happy, have high hopes in the mercy of Allah subhanaw taala be extremely positive. Also,
we need to ensure that we should be positive about people. Of course, we need to live among the
people we need to live among the family members, we need to live among the friends and the relatives
and the neighbors and the colleagues and the classmates and the society we need to interact and
engage, you know, ourselves with each other. So what we need to do is we need to have a positive
mindset with each other. As we know, in Islam, it is highly encouraged to have has not been, you
know, good feeling good thoughts with each other, when you have that good, good thought, inshallah,
		

			you will not feel any bad, you know,
		

			feelings in your heart and when you don't feel that of course, you are going to remain happy in sha
Allah, you know, the righteous predestined as they used to say that find 70 excuses from your
brother, you know, find 70 excuses, you know, try to zoom when there is anything wrong that happens
or you get to know there's something wrong happening, try to assume the best possible scenario, the
best possible situation, the best possible, you know, feeling from that brother, from the sister
from the wife from the aspirin from each other in short, so when you have that good expectations,
regardless whether the person is right or wrong, you will be happy inshallah, this is the beauty of
		

			being positive in our life. So we talked about belief in Allah subhanaw taala, driven by these
principles of towheaded risotto, and Akira, we talked about you need to carry yourself make yourself
happy, first self esteem. And of course, when you're when we are saying, make yourself happy, we do
not mean at the expense of hurting others, we do not mean by any way, you know, harming others and
you'll be happy no, you'll be happy in your own self, that inner peace that you must work on. And
then we talked about the sound heart and having that spirituality ignited in you and then have a
very clean and pure heart that makes you and me happy inshallah. And then we talked about the
		

			positive mindset that we need to have, you know, having good expectations from Allah subhanaw taala
and have good expectations, you know, from the people as well. Now, point number five, healthy
living, you know, our body has right on us. So we need to ensure that we take care of our diet, we
need to ensure that we exercise well. We need to ensure that we, you know, sleep well we need to
take rest, you know, well, when we have this body, our our health in proper state, believe me, it is
going to help us big time in making ourselves happy and making ourselves remain on happiness in sha
Allah as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said near Matan Mark Boone Fie maka theorem in
		

			us a set had to work for a
		

			lot of people they are neglectful about two great blessings, the health and the free time. So, this
health we need to really really ensure that it is taken in a good wave we have to ensure that we
have to you know focus on our health having you know, regular health checks and having a good diet
having a body which is you know, Alhamdulillah presentable and a healthy body inshallah. So your
mind, your heart, your soul, your body, when they are in good shape, when they are in good state
insha Allah you will be happy and you will remain happy in sha Allah isn't the lightoller point
number six, the quality of suburban sugar. We have to always keep in mind that to be happy. We have
		

			to have these two qualities parallely working together. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he
said I'm amazed by the affair of the believer, if he's granted goodness, he praises Allah subhana wa
Taala and is grateful. He is grateful. And if he's afflicted with the calamity, he praises Allah
subhanaw taala and he's patient. He is patient, the believer is rewarded for every matter. Allahu
Akbar, the Prophet salallahu alaihe salam, he said, the believer he is rewarded for every matter,
even feeding a morsel of food to his wife. So Subhanallah when you see the quality of supper and
sugar, they are the two essential ingredients to make our life happy. How when you understand life,
		

			life has difficulties and life has ease as well right when you have problems and solutions
		

			When you have peace and difficulties disturbances in, in the state when you have ease, you need to
do what you need to thank Allah subhanaw taala you need to have that, that element of sugar in
yourself. And you need to be able to show that gratitude, reflect and manifest that gratitude for
Allah subhanho wa Taala for the blessings that He has given us, what will be the outcome, Allah
subhanaw taala says, The in shocker to come, if you are grateful, I shall increase, increase What?
Increase anything, if you are grateful to Allah subhanaw taala a lot of boiler is is going to
increase, you know, in your wealth, in your health, in your relations, in anything, whatever, you
		

			know, that you're looking for. So one element in good state in easiest state never forget a lot of
Blaser, if you remember Allah in depth in ease, Allah will remember you in difficulty in sha Allah.
So, this is the attitude of the believer that he is always, you know, foremost in terms of showing
his sugar, his gratitude to Allah subhanaw taala in in times of ease, in times of difficulties,
which is bound to be there, he is patient, you know, Subhana Allah, something interesting, I would
like to share with all of you, and that is we need to have this, this element of, you know,
		

			clear framework and this framework is when you believe in Allah subhanaw taala what do you do, you
actually rely on Allah subhanaw taala you will start trusting Allah subhanaw taala when you trust
Allah subhanaw taala trusting in a holistic means that you will have to work you have to do your
part, so you do your part. So when you trust Allah subhanaw taala you do your part, or when you do
your part, then you trust Allah subhanaw taala and then you willingly accept the decision of Allah
subhanaw taala whether it comes in favor of you, or against you, in either of the ways you as a
believer, knows that Allah knows better than you and we do. Allah has a better perspective or the
		

			best perspective than you and me do, Allah knows, you know, what is good for us better than we
ourselves, you know, know. So when you have this mindset, that when you work, you trust Allah and
then you accept his decision, willingly accepting the decision helps you are at ease and give you
peace and happiness or life experience and experiment this and we have to do this, there is no other
way out. Right when you do this, obviously, you will be rewarded with the key element of happiness
in this world. And in the Hereafter, you will be rewarded as well as we mentioned. So we need to
have this this, this framework. Number one, I need to make, you know, my efforts to the best of my
		

			level two, I need to trust Allah subhanaw taala and three, I need to accept the decision of Allah,
whether it comes in favor of me or against me, I would like to share with you one story of one of my
You know, Friends Subhan Allah, my friend and and his wife, they have been married for eight years,
eight years, they did not have any child and Subhanallah they were waiting and they were trying to
pray and do everything possible. Subhan Allah, they, after eight years were blessed with a child and
the child was sick, so sick, that he was not even taken out from the ICU. So after eight years of
waiting, they got a child and they had this baby right in the ICU. And they were patient, they they
		

			were showing and hamdulillah Allah has, at least after eight years, shown us the sign that we can
have a baby. So for a few days, or perhaps a month, that baby was still there in the ICU, and
eventually that baby passed away. That baby passed away. And Subhanallah I am telling you, my
beloved brothers and sisters, the couple stood really formed having the trust in Allah subhanaw
taala willingly submission to Allah subhanaw taala and accepting the decision of a lot of Buddha is
that, you know, Allah has at least shown us the sign that we can have, you know, children, and just
last year they were blessed with a with a baby goat Subhan Allah. So the fruits of patience is
		

			Jenna. What What is the matter of this world? Subhan Allah. So a lot of times it might come to you
know, a perspective that how long
		

			I am going to be patient well until we die, because this life is temporary, this life is temporary
when we have to have patience, there is no other way out, there is no magical way that is going to
change your your and my situation. If there are trials in our lives, we have to submit and we have
to, you know, move forward in our lives. Point number seven insha Allah is avoid competitions,
comparisons and complaining in our lives. If you and me want to be happy, we have to ensure that we
don't get into that, that you know, scope of competition with the people in the matters of dunya
This is one of the greatest ways that actually make people sad in their lives, they try to compare
		

			others with them. Everyone is different. everyone's life is different, everyone's situations is
different, everyone has a unique problem, everyone has a unique way of dealing those problems. So
never compare. Never ever compare. If someone is rich, so be it, how does it matter, pray for them.
inshallah, if somebody has more children, pray for them, if somebody has big house, pray for them.
Never, ever compare yourself with others, that makes you negative and that makes you you know,
distress and that actually ultimately makes you unhappy. So, avoid competitions, comparisons, and
complaints in life, live your life to the fullest and be content having that these qualities which
		

			we discussed, you know, above, have those qualities and inshallah you will remain happy is Neela he
to Allah, point number eight, keep forgiving and forgetting people keep forgetting the faults of the
people. Allah Subhana huhtala through the prophet sallallahu alayhi salam told us, you know,
		

			that a lot of Budweiser, you know, obviously, when he says to the Prophet sallallahu, and he says,
That, again is a worry for us, you know, as we know, when my young tip or Anil Hawa, inwa illa what
you have profits in Islam, he does not speak of himself, but whatever the whatever the guidance or
the revelation that comes from Allah subhanaw taala. So the prophets of Allah and he sent him he
said, mark these words, my beloved brothers and sisters, mark these words, the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi, salaam, he said, I guaranteed a house, a palace in Geneva, for one who gives up arguing even
if he's right, even if he's right, and I guarantee a house in the middle of Geneva for the one who
		

			abandons lying even for the sake of fun. So and he continues, and I guarantee a house in the highest
level of Jannah, for the one who has good manners. So when you keep forgetting, and forgiving
people, you will remain happy. I guarantee you, you will never be happy if you carry bad feelings
and wrong, you know, doings of people in your heart. Just forget and forgive, forget and forgive.
That's the only solution. Now you might have a question how long again, until we die, until we die,
we need to forget and forgive people. Allah Subhana Allah says in Surah, two news, Rama 24 and
number 22. And let them pardon an overlook. Would you not like that Allah to forgive you? Subhana
		

			Allah. So we do so many mistakes, errors, shortcomings, you know, how long the last panel forgives
us? continuously, perpetually, right. So we need to also to remain happy to remain happy, we have to
have this quality of forgetting and forgiving people and Subhanallah this, this element of anger
that comes into play right? The Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam, he said, when a person comes to him
and says, oh, Prophet, advise me, the person, his question is very clear, and very straightforward.
The Prophet salallahu alaihe salam, he said, Nah, don't get angry. The Prophet, the person says, you
know, advise me more. The Prophet salallahu alaihe salam, he said, Don't get angry. And he keeps on
		

			saying that meaning that anger if it is not managed and controlled, it is so destructive, that it
will resume your life and it will spoil your happiness for short. This is for sure. So when you
control your anger, when you make sure that you manage your anger, you will be able to live a
healthy and happy life, my beloved brothers and sisters, let us be a person who forgets and forgive
and let us be a person who controls his anger. Who knows how to manage his affairs, right? And who
knows how to let it go, you know, situation, don't get and brag about things for every single, you
know,
		

			Words that you want to catch up people, you know, situations that you want to exploit and, and brag
about it, don't do that. If you really want to be happy and you want to remain happy, make sure that
you keep forgiving and forgetting their faults. inshallah, this will help you to be happy. Point
number nine, help others unconditionally Allahu Akbar, this is so important to Allah, he help others
unconditionally, you know, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said, Whoever relieves the
hardship of a believer in this world, Allah will relieve his hardship, in this world, and in the
Hereafter, Allahu Akbar, and whoever helps to ease the difficulty of a brother, Allah will ease the
		

			difficulty of that brother, in this world and the Hereafter, helping others actually gives you the
sense of happiness, the contentment, you know, happiness is and helping others is very easy, it
could be as simple as you share a smile with them, you share a smile with them, that might, you
know, calm them down, that might ease their difficulty a bit, play that role. So it could be as
simple as sharing a smile and carrying a smile, and bringing the smile on the face of your brother,
it could be you know, a charity as well as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, So, I help
others be eager to help others and bringing out people from difficulties from challenges, you know,
		

			among ourselves, within our own families, within our own relatives and within our friends, there are
people who are suffering, who are getting into so many difficult situations and who are in dire need
Subhanallah help them what ever that you can, Allah subhanaw taala is not going to look at your
quantity is looking at your quality, what is that you are helping others with, and the reward is
extremely high Subhana Allah, so make sure that you have this ability of, of helping others insha
Allah, always not, you know, look at all your own family alone, but rather expand and and stretch
your imagination and look beyond your family, on your relatives, on your neighbors, on your friends,
		

			and the society in the humanity Subhan Allah, we need to have this this clear, understanding that
when we help others, a lot of bellezza is going to help us insha Allah, the last pointer, my beloved
brothers and sisters that I would like to share and then inshallah, if we have any questions, we
may, you know, dwell into it insha Allah. And the last point is, if you and me would like to remain
happy in our lives, we have to make sure that we be in the company of those people who have this,
this living style or the lifestyle of being happy Subhan Allah This is so important the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi salam, he said, our roju Allah Dini Holly, you know a person is is, is upon on the
		

			religion of his, of his companion. So the way you be being the company of those people, you will
behave in a similar fashion, your thinking, your living your thought process, your way about your
actions, your decisions, they all will be influenced by these people, you know, this sense of making
this this mindset purely, you know, for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala and have this feeling to be
with those who are positive people who are truthful people, people who have the sense of
consciousness of Allah subhanaw taala people who can remind you and console you in the difficult
situations that you're not you know, my brother, you know, my sister, this situation that you and me
		

			are, the, this is all trivial, this is temporary, is going to go in sha Allah, Allah says with the
hardship there is ease, Allah says, Allah does not put a burden on you which you cannot bear. Allah
says that insha Allah, when you rely on Allah, Allah will be sufficient for you. These are the kinds
of people who will help you who will, who will console you and who will bring you up inshallah, to a
state of happiness with the help and the permission of Allah subhana wa Tada. And this is how we
know we have to, you know, bring this this momentum in our lives. So, my beloved brothers and
sisters, in order for us to be happy, and to remain happy, we have to have these 10 pointers, which
		

			I shared with you, starting from the belief factor, driving with the principles of oneness of Allah
Subhana
		

			Tyler, having the role model of the prophets in Islam and thinking about the akhira with these key
principles have the belief and the pleasure of Allah subhanaw taala, having the self esteem carrying
up, you know yourself, giving importance to yourself not at the expense of, you know, in thinking
about others, that they are inferior, but carrying your own self in a positive way. And also to have
that, that pure and sound heart, giving that mind a positive feeling, having the the healthy
lifestyle, so you work on your body, you work on your soul, you work on your heart, you work on your
body, and your mind, and that's how you actually gain the momentum, and the state of happiness,
		

			insha Allah, but we ask Allah subhanaw taala to help us all, and we extend our prayers, for the
difficulties and the challenges that the world is going through my beloved brothers Subhan Allah,
when we look around, we need to really, really tank Allah subhanaw taala a lot, that we are in a
very, very good situation, many of us are living a very good life, well, hamdulillah the problems
and the difficulties that might be coming in our lives might be you know, you know, they are there
for temporary purpose, but then insha Allah, what's going to remain in sha Allah is is your and my
love for Allah subhanaw taala Because ultimately, we need to go back to Allah subhanaw taala we pray
		

			for everyone around the globe, who are into difficulties, problems, issues, you know, challenges and
sort of, you know, obstacles that that they have, whether it is due to natural calamity, you know,
like, for example, what had happened in Lebanon, we ask Allah subhanaw taala to ease the situation
they're in Lebanon, we ask this is to ease the situation in Yemen, in every part of the world, where
people are suffering, we ask Allah subhanaw taala to ease the situation of everyone and my beloved
brothers and sisters, I really sincerely you know, extend my gratitude and appreciate each and every
one of you for for joining us in this important and vital, you know, subject of being happy insha
		

			Allah, I hope and pray that, you know, the speaker and the listeners, we both all of us practice on
these guidelines, and inshallah we expect, you know, good from Allah subhanaw taala that he is going
to, you know, heal our problems, I know, there are many of us who are going through personal issues,
family issues, you know, spousal conflicts, you know, problems with, with the children, perhaps
problems with the parents, for example, you know, all these problems, they are all universal, every
one of us go through it, some of the other phase of life, the need is, the point is, we have to stay
motivated, we have to bring up ourselves bigger than the problem. If you think the problem is bigger
		

			than us, then we are going to be unhappy. But if you think that you are higher than the problem, the
problem is going to seem very low, very small. And the way you can deal with it is through the ways
that we have talked about be grateful to people appreciate each other, be loving, Be kind, be
gentle, be forgiving, forget the faults of the people, you know, move on in life don't live in the
past, you know, people who have, who have, you know, this habit of bragging about the situation they
live on in the past, we need to live in the present in sha Allah, and this present is actually a
present that's why it's called as a present. It's a gift, what you have, what you mean what I have
		

			is now an urn now, so we need to make the most of it inshallah, starting from pleasing Allah
subhanaw taala gaining the blessings from our parents, you know, the sense of happiness that we can
gain by serving our parents, you know, making ourselves the best husband, best wife, best children,
best brother, best sister, you know, best you know, friend, best neighbor, all these you know,
characteristics will make us happy and upright inshallah, and this happiness is not just limited to
this world. Mind you, as I mentioned at the beginning, my beloved brothers and sisters, our
happiness, it is linked with the happiness in the hereafter. Allah subhanho wa Taala is noting down
		

			every sacrifice that we pay every patient, you know, state that we are showing up for the sake of
Allah, every fall that we are forgetting and forgiving people, every situation that we were in, in a
very difficult situation, we ask Allah
		

			To to keep us patient, every state where we have God v thank Allah, all these things are noticed by
Allah. Allah is watching us, Allah is watching us and he is testing us. Make sure that you and me
graded best in this test so that inshallah we will be at rest. And we will make sure that we carry
ourselves and others, you know and help each other, to be happy and to remain happy in sha Allah.
Ultimately, we want to be happy in the year after gaining the highest level of Jannah jannatul for
those being in the company of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and witnessing the face of
Allah subhanho wa Taala that is the greatest attainment that is the real and, and the best state of
		

			a believer, that is the biggest opportunity for him to be joyful, and that is what we are yearning,
that is what we are looking forward. That is what is very clear in our vision, my beloved brothers
and sisters, don't let your your your hopes Get down, be highly merciful. In Allah subhanaw taala be
highly hopeful in the mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala be the one who always have this, this sense
of belongingness with Allah subhanaw taala be the one who can ignite hope in others be the one who
can be torchbearers for others insha Allah, we ask Allah to bless each one of you for joining up
with us, we ask a las panatela to ease your matters, your situation, your problems, I asked a lot of
		

			Budweiser to bless each and every one who made this program possible. You know, whether they are

work in this, you know day, the blessed day on Juma on Friday, they have given time for Allah

Allah subhanaw taala to grant us more such opportunities to remind each other My beloved brothers
