THE MESSAGE
HAPPINESS IS ACQUIRED BY ASSUMING IT

By Sh Aa'idh al-Qarni

Among the principles of the art of happiness is to value life on this earth according to its true merit and worth. This life is frivolous and does not warrant anything from you except that you turn away from it. This life is filled with calamities, aches, and wounds. If that is the description of this life, then how can one be unduly affected by its minor calamities, and how can one grieve over such material things as have passed him by?

The best moments of life are tainted, its future promises are mere mirages, the successful ones in it are envied, the one who is blessed is constantly threatened, and lovers are struck down by some unexpected misfortune.

And in a Hadith: "Verily, knowledge is only acquired by the practice of learning, and tolerance is acquired by the practice of tolerating."

If one were to attempt to apply the meaning of this Hadith to the topic under discussion, then he could go one step further and say that happiness is acquired by assuming it. It is acquired by constantly smiling, by hunting for the reasons that make one happy, and even by forcing it onto one's own self, however awkward that may seem. One does all of these things until happiness becomes second nature. The truth of the matter is that you cannot remove from yourself all remnants of grief. And the reason for this is that life was created as a test:

"Verily, We have created man in toil." (Qur 'an 90: 4)
"That He might try you, which of you is the best in deeds." (Qur 'an 11: 7)

FIQH

If an impurity which can be seen, such as stool or blood, falls onto the clothing, it should be washed until the impurity is removed and no stain remains. There is no limit to the number of times it should be washed - the moment the impurity is removed, it will become pure. The same rule applies when it falls on the body.

THE SMILE

Early one morning, a mother went in to wake up her son. “Wake up, son. It’s time to go to school!”

“But why, Mom? I don’t want to go.”

“Give me two reasons why you don’t want to go.”

“Well, the kids hate me for one, and the teachers hate me, too!”
“Oh, that’s no reason not to go to school. Come on now and get ready.”

“Give me two reasons why I should go to school.”

“Well, for one, you’re 52 years old. And for another, you’re the Principal!”
