Nahi @M Shah if you are looking to be happy in the Dunya then you are in the wrong place
hmmmm ok lets have a
deep look what sheikh
Hamza yousuf is trying to tell us...
its not the WORLD..its the worldly desires..He is talking about
but if u want to be happy in the WORLD coming after then DUNYA is the perfect place to gather all the happiness and what should I say I don't
find the perfect word for the upcoming world..our wrong deeds are much more than our good deeds (generally talking I m not criticizing any1..i m talking abt me and U ) we believe that only HIS mercy and
Fazal can secure us ..His Love can Forgive us not our good deeds
but as it is mentioned in Quran Surah Al-Baqarah lemme tell u ..the very verse 26
translation is
"
[2:26]And give glad tidings to those who believe and do good works, that for them are Gardens beneath which flow streams. Whenever they are given a portion of fruit therefrom, they will say: ‘This is what was given us before,’ and gifts mutually resembling shall be brought to them. And they will have therein mates perfectly pure, and therein will they abide."
do u have any idea about the FRUITS which
Allah tells us in this very verse?
these are not worldly fruits
like mango apple pear and other tasty things which EVERY1(no matter he is
ABDULLAh or not ) eats in this world gets relish from these fruits n foods... in this verse
ALLAH tells us about those fruits of HIS PURE LOVE ANF MERCY which a person can feel in this world and that the only %age of
Allah's love which HE presents (gift) us in this WORLD(many ways
like Namaz, Sadqa..Khalq I khuda ki khidmat and sooooooooo on which u know better than me) and after world when
ALLAH will shower all HIS LOVE AND MERCY AND BLESSINGS then surely HIS PURE and gifted people WILL SAY that "this us what was given us before and Gifts mutually RESEMBLING shall be brought to them"
u know y..we get some traces of that FRUIT in this WORLD because this world is the good(in a way perfect bcuz the people who will repnet on their worng deeds will say that why they follow the satan path n that World..Alhamdoliilah
Allah saved me ) place to gather that
eternal Love and His Pure Mercy so we can be HIS THANKFUL
ABD in this world and world after... what do u think if
Allah has given us morning day evening night and mid night and
Twilight timings. jUMMA EID to PRAISE HIM for HIS Ibadat to gather that very FRUIT in this world then what HE will have in the world coming after... and
Also Allah mentions in QUran that HE will surely increase His blessings for those who are His Thankful
Abd..
Allah blesses evry1 no matter
muslim non
muslim even those person who are HIS disbelievers.. but the only people who are Blessed with some tarces of that very FRUIT IN THIS WORLD ARE Only HIS PURE AND Chosen people..
I'm telling u this u know y bcuz a lot of non muslims used to ask us that y we used to bring limitation to His blessings only to muslims..then surely we have to tell them that in QURAN He tells about HIS blessing mercy and love to HIS
ABD not to muslims only.. I think u have better understanding than me
but as sheikh
said about happiness... he talked about worldy happiness and joys(as far as I could understand) those are not
eternal and bring us closer to worldy fruits
like money (from wrong ways as gambling . black money etc) , fruits that keeps u away from HIS remembereance.. fruits that are very tasty that u are lost from this world( alcohol) n many more..(
may Allah save us(me n U) and no matter He has saved me for so many times Alhamdolillah)
so for this the PURE people of
Allah .that very world is wrong place for that kind of Happiness ...
right ?
