Question: How can man reach happiness and psychological comfort through the problems and difficulties of life?
If man wants to reach the highest happiness and perfect mental comfort, he should consolidate his heartily relation with God, so that he tranquilizes and trusts His promises, fears His warnings, observes Him day and night and knows for sure that He is the one who arranges and plans and that He does whatever He wills. Then he does his best in following reasons and preparing good intentions before deeds to obtain God’s satisfaction, he is also careful that those reasons are legal not banned by the book of Allah or the Sunna of the apostle of Allah. He also gets sure that the ways he follows to achieve them are legal not against divine legislations. He follows reasons because this is what Allah orders but at the same time he knows for sure that the doer in fact is Allah, He can do with reasons or without, if reasons get him what he wants, he thanks God properly so he deserves more grants, but if reasons don’t get him what he wants after doing his best, he realizes that this happens for hidden purpose God knows, so he is not sad about what he misses and he never gets angry for what he can’t achieve, so he is as described by Allah in His book:
“In order that you may not despair over matters that pass you by, nor exult over favors bestowed upon you.” Surat Al-Hadeed, Verse 23.
This is the degree of satisfaction gained by belief for the people who follows the right path among believers, they are the happiest people in this life, the apostle of Allah (Blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) says about them: “O Abu-Hurayra, be satisfied by what Allah willed for you and you will be the richest among people.” They do their best following reasons either at works to get legal subsistence or going to Doctors and taking medicine to recover from illnesses or others and they wait the result accompanied by Allah’s guidance and His care.
They know for sure that Allah by His great mercy and pity upon believers chooses for them the best and the most useful in this life and in the hereafter. So they are satisfied by what He wills and the greatest happiness only comes by satisfaction.
