The key to enjoy one’s life -By Hassan Tesleemah

The thought of how to enjoy one’s life prevails my heart. So, many people thought being rich is realized as a way to peaceful life, meanwhile, you don’t need to be rich before you can enjoy your life.

To realize this fact, many rich men are not happy and neither all the poor are sad! The reality is that social stratification doesn’t determine happiness. Although, even with it massive influence, it has been realized that it is not a determinant to enjoying one’s life.

My dear reader, the best way to enjoy life is to embrace Islam. Islam is the religion that is more than a religion. it is a religion that signifies a complete way of life. through it, you find peace and happiness.

A sincere worship of Allah makes life enjoyable. Also, performing the acts of kindness or giving charity in order to please God can bring a smile to your face and feeling of joy to your heart. Perhaps, just a smile at a poor man would raise you in rank in the sight of Allah and make you feel good about yourself.

By practicing Islam, one lives a simple and enjoyable life. It create happiness to one’s heart. Happiness is that ethereal quality that encompasses contentment and peacefulness; it is the soft joy that causes your lip, face and heart to smile. This is what you need to enjoy your life!

It is slam that makes the poor a wealthy man through its teaching of contentment.

Islam teaches the best of interpersonal skills, that is; the behaviors and tactics a person uses to interact with others effectively and the skill that helps one to gain people’s love.

Just as the prophet did successfully, your ability to capture people’s hearts, win their love and bring them closer to Allah makes you a happier man and a beloved soul to Allah.

Although, in order to enjoy life, people attempt to follow a complicated paths which is the way of shaitan. They fail to recognize the easy path which is Islam.

Perhaps, it has been a nature of human being that amongst happiness there may be great sorrow and within the pain and despair there may be great joy. But a believer will accept God’s decree and seek His guidance throughout his journey.

It should be noted that Islam has answer to all the problems that afflict humankind expect if one turns blind eyes and deaf ears to Allah’s words which could attract a hard life. “But whosoever turns away from My Reminder (i.e. neither believes in this Qur’an nor acts on its teachings) verily, for him is a life of hardship, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection.” (Qur’an 20: 124).

The key to enjoy life is to worship God. When one worships and remembers the Creator as He should be worshipped and remembered, life will be so easy for that person and happiness will be around him.

Also, In order to enjoy life and have a better existence, seeking beneficial knowledge should be part of one’s journey. This is because the angels flutter their wings and keep records of those who seek knowledge. This thought alone, brings smile of happiness to the face of a believer.

In all, Islam is the best. So, as long as you embrace it, you shall know no hardship but ease. You will be developed mentally, spiritually and your interpersonal skills will be marvelous.
