Know This, Know Happiness!

[LOVE ISLAM]

Read this and don't read it as a cliche: 

You were created not to seek this world but to seek something more perfect.

 

Understand this with an example. Sometimes we have a good enough life with all the blessings of family, love, wealth, peace, faith. But we long for a spouse. A happy married life. We seek for this happiness. Then when we get a good spouse, we forget it (all the craving, the struggle and the blessing) and start longing for something else. Kids now maybe. Life starts to seem hard again. Because there is somethig else which we now need to complete the picture and the previous happiness is long forgotten!

After kids, another longing starts, maybe more wealth, more time/care from the spouse, more this, more that...

The list is endless really.

 

No wonder we should try to seek benefit here and take the easier option but we shouldn't do that at the expense of our aakhirah. We should never entirely focus on this world. Because eternal, happiness, that perfect dream does not exist here man. It just does not.

 

It exists in Paradise. Seek that.
