Mufti Menk – The happiest people on Earth

			The happiest and most content people on Earth are those whose faith is strong.
		

			They control themselves. They don't just do what they want, they are disciplined. They speak in a in
a certain way, they carry themselves in a certain way they connect with their maker knowing that I
made by a maker, and I'm going to go back to that maker. And so they have lovely days when they
suffer a loss, they are patient, knowing that we are going to earn a reward from Allah. And when
they earn something, and when they when they have a profit and something good happens to them. They
they are happy within a limit. And they think Allah without becoming arrogant and proud knowing that
the gratitude belongs to the one who gave me the owner of everything, and at the same time, he could
		

			take it away any minute. May Allah grant us goodness. So these are very, very deep thoughts, and
very beautiful teachings, that if we were to ponder over them, they would make us better Muslims.
		

			And when you're a better Muslim Wallah, he you become a more content person, the minute you run
behind that which you are not supposed to be running behind. Allah Almighty tells you, you know what
you're going to lose? Firstly, your contentment on earth.
		

			Now, one might ask, Well, I've seen people who don't believe in Allah and they're quite content.
Well, Allah Almighty tells you that you know what, they might be happy. They might be happy, because
we have chosen to reward them in this world for the good day may have done because there are a lot
of people who don't have faith but have done a lot of good. What about those who don't have faith
who don't lie, and they don't have faith. They don't deceive. They don't have faith, but they help
the poor, they don't have faith but they reach out to relatives and to others and they they are kind
hearted and they are great. There are so many of those on earth. What does Allah says Allah says, We
		

			don't oppress them, we will give them their goodness on Earth.
		

			We will give them a happy home happy family comfortable, they will enjoy the holidays, they will go
here and there. They will have a lot of fun and whatever else they may be, if they don't believe in
the hereafter at all. Allah says what portion Do you want us to give them from the hereafter that's
between them and Allah and Allah Almighty already says that if they don't want to believe in it,
		

			I may not want to give it to them. It's up to Allah.
