Simple tip to be happy and live a life without fear.
Simple tip to be happy and live a life without fear.
In today's lesson Allah (swt) emphasized on becoming a more successful being. Becoming more contented in our heart. Having little or no fear inside us. We act brave and live our lives to our utmost. That we eat to fill ourselves. We move around His planet and make Him proud of us. He was argueed and questioned before sending us to His planet. He was challenged by Iblees. He never wanted we disappoint Him. He wants us to be happy on this planet. Roam around here. Enjoy our lives here. He only wants us to be His representative (successive authority) on this planet.
In ayat 62, Allah (swt) clearly stated 3 things that have to be taken care of to achieve the success we are looking for all our life. So many philanthropists. Some say it is NLP. Some say meditate. They all focus on this major part:-
1. Believe in Allah (swt). It gives Hope.
2. Believe in Akhirah (Judgement Day). It gives gurentee in times of difficulties.
3. Be righteous. It is the Rule to live the most colorful life one can imagine.
What is the rule to by happy?
It is 'Be righteous'. But being righteous feels it is tough and troublesome. Righteous means sacrifices. To surrender our will and wish to Allah (swt). To not have love for wealth and this world. To fail and trust Allah. So many rules we have overburdened ourselves with. That only make our life more tougher then it already is.
I believe, the basic rule of being righteous is to Enjoy Our Life Here. That is to taste the colors of the most modern religion on this planet. It is to let our women live in freedom where they can ride horses and fight battles and do not give a dime to shackles of the society. Where we are not tied to customs and cultural limitations. Our children love us, they believe we parents are their mentors. A place where we all emerge the boldest | brightest warriors. We do not care if it is a desert ahead of us or it is fire we have to cross to get to our goals. We simply do not care. We are fearless to lay down our goals and hit them. Allah (swt) loves us, He does not put people so close to Him, in a state of sadness or fearfulness. He might lead His people to tests by fire. He even imprison His people for lengthy periods. But one thing He will not do is. Put His people in a state of sadness or fearfulness.
We are no different then people who were turned to monkeys. (Ayat 65 - 66)
Imagine, you live in a village. Nice beautiful green village. A stream flows through it. You have these amazing Trout Fish to hunt from this stream and eat it, sell it and earn your living. 1400 years before a Prophet of Allah (swt) came and emphasized on a simple Rule, "Do not fish on Saturdays." Initially people would have listened to him. But with the passage of time, what would we have done? We would have stopped at fishing on Saturdays. But when we see more and more fish in the river on Saturdays. What would we have done?
Exactly same thing the people mentioned in these Ayats did. They dugged holes in the stream to hold Saturday's Fish in for a day and took it out on Sundays. They mixed truth with falsehood. Exactly like today we are whole heartedly doing. Some music. Some missing the prayers. Some dance on mehndi. Some party some lie some crib some ... So many 'somes' that have ruined our happiness.
Conclusion
Looking at ourselves, we need to ask a simple question. Are we acting like a representative of Allah (swt) on His Planet? Why we are not?
Find a reason to follow Allah (swt) and let us act like we are sent to this planet by Him. Let us act like heroes and win battles. May be some do business. Some travel. May be we need to enjoy and liberate ourselves. May be we need to act like Allah (swt) messangers.
Surah Baqarah, 28 - 34
