Are You Happy?
By Abu Muhammad Yusuf
We are all searching for happiness. In achieving this happiness our attitude in life plays a crucial role.
After years of hard and dedicated service to his Company, Ahmed was being appointed at an elegant reception as the new Director. It was a small function where his wife Fatimah, a Home Executive, and some of the wives of the other persons in top management were also present. In an adjacent room, Ann, the wife of the CEO of the Company, asked Ahmed's wife a very odd and unusual question; "Does your husband make you happy?"
The husband, Ahmed, who at that moment was not at her side, but was sufficiently near to hear the question, paid attention to the conversation, sitting up slightly, feeling secure, even filling his chest lightly in pride and hope, knowing that his spouse was a role model Muslimah and would definitely not publically lower or degrade her husband, would answer affirmatively, since she had always been there for him during their marriage and generally in life. Nevertheless, to both his and the others' surprise, she replied simply;
"No, no he doesn't make me happy…"
The room became uncomfortably silent, as if everyone were listening to the spouse's response. There was a sudden coldness in the air. The husband was petrified. A frown appeared on his face. He couldn't believe what his wife was saying, especially at such an important occasion for him. To the amazement of her husband and of everyone! Fatimah sat up firmly, moved her elegant black hijab in place, and explained in a modest but stern tone to the other wives who were present;
"No, he doesn't make me happy… I AM HAPPY. The fact that I am happy or not doesn't depend on him, but on me. Allah Ta'ala is Most Wise and has granted each of us intellect and discretion to reason, interpret and decide. Allah Ta'ala made me the person upon which my happiness depends. I make the choice to be happy in each situation and in each moment of my life. If my happiness were to depend on other people, on other things or circumstances on the face of this earth, I would be in serious trouble! Over my life I have learned a couple of things: I decide to be happy and the rest is a matter of 'experiences or circumstances;' like helping, and understanding, accepting, listening, consoling; and with my spouse, I have lived and practiced this many times. Honestly, true happiness lies in being content"
Relieved and reassured, a smile was clearly noticed on Ahmed's face.
Moral: Happiness will always be found in contentment, forgiveness and in loving yourself and others. To truly love is difficult, it is to forgive unconditionally, to live, to take the "experiences or circumstances" as they are, facing them together and being happy with conviction. There are those who say I cannot be happy:
*
Because I am sick.
* Because I have no money.
* Because it's too cold.
* Because they insulted me.
* Because someone stopped loving me.
* Because someone didn't appreciate me.
But what you don't know is that you can be happy even though you are sick, whether it is too hot, whether you have money or not, whether someone has insulted you, or someone didn't love you, or hasn't valued you.
The Noble Messenger of Allah Ta'ala is reported to have said: "The happiness of the son of Adam depends on his being content with what Allah has decreed for him…the misery of the son of Adam results from in his discontent with what Allah has decreed for him." (Hadith- Tarmidhi)
Being Happy is an attitude about life and each one of us must decide!
Being Happy, depends on you!

THE FRUITS EATEN BY SAYYIDIANA RASOOLULLAH SALLALLAHU ALAIHE WASALLAM
Hadith 1 - Abdullah ibn Jaafar radiyallahu anhu says, "Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam ate Qith'thaa (cucumbers) with dates."
Commentary: Cucumber has a cold effect and dates have a hot one. By combining the two it becomes mild. From this hadith we gather that it is recommended that the effect (hot or cold) of things eaten should be taken into consideration. Cucumber is insipid and tasteless, and dates are sweet which results in the cucumber also tasting sweet.
Hadith 2 - Aisha radiyallah anha reports that, "Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam ate watermelon with fresh dates."
Commentary: In Tirmidhi and other narrations, in explaining this, Sayyidina Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam also said, "The cold effect of one removes the heat of the other, and the heat of one removes the cold effect of the other."
Hadith 3 - Anas radiyallahu anhu says, "I saw Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam eat together musk-melon and dates."
Commentary: Some ulama have translated this also as watermelon' instead of musk-melon, the reason being, as in the first narration, here also the cold effect is intended. But it is clear that musk-melon is meant here. The reason for eating dates is also that it gives the melon a sweeter taste. It is not necessary that one's benefit be gauged everywhere. It is possible that this is due to some other benefits. According to this humble servant the eating of watermelon with dates has its own benefit and that is to create evenness in the effect of both, so that it becomes mild. The eating of musk-melon with dates has its own benefit and that is that if the melon is insipid and tasteless, many a time, due to it being insipid sugar is mixed before it is eaten. Therefore it is not necessary to give the same reasons for both watermelon and musk-melon.
Hadith 4 - Aisha radiyallahu anha says, "Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam ate watermelon with fresh dates."
Hadith 5 - Abu Hurairah radiyallahu anhu reports, "When the people saw (picked their) new fruit, they used to come and present it to Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam. Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam then recited this du'aa:
Translation: O Allah! Bless us in our fruits. Bless us in our city. Bless us in our Saa', and bless us in our Mudd' (these are two measures used in Madinah to measure dates, etc.). O Allah verily Ibrahim alaihis salaam is Your servant, friend and Nabi (since it was an occasion for humbleness Sayyidina Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam did not mention here his being the habib - beloved - of Allah.) And (whatever) he has supplicated to You for (colonising) Makkah. (Which is metioned in the aayah, "...so incline some hearts of men that they may yearn towards them, and provide Thou them with fruits in order that they may be thankful."- Surah Ibrahim, 37) I supplicate the same to You for Madinah.'
He then called a small child, to whom he gave that fruit."
Hadith 6 - Rubayyi bint Mu'awwidh ibn Afraa radiyallahu anha says, "My uncle Mu'aadh ibn Afraa sent me with a plate of fresh dates, which had small cucumbers on it, to Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam. Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam relished cucumbers. I took this to him. At that time some jewelery had been sent to Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam from Bahrain. He took a handful from it and gave it to me."
Commentary: Besides the previously metioned benefits of cucumbers and dates, it makes the body plump too. Sayyiditina Aisha radiyallahu anha relates that, "After my marriage, when the time came for me to go and live with Rasoolulla sallallahu alaihe wasallam, my mother thought I be a bit plump and my build become better. She gave me cucumbers and dates to eat. As a result my body became nice and plump."
Hadith 7 - Rubayyi bint Mu'awwidh ibn Afraa radiyallahu anha said, "I took a plate of fresh dates and small cucumbers to Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam. He gave me a handful of jewelery, or a handful of gold."
Commentary: This is the same hadith mentioned above. Here it is mentioned briefly. The narrator doubts if it was jewelery or gold.
