QUOTED

In present day life a large number of people complain because they have been totally unable to achieve true peace and because despite their efforts & their attempts at happiness, they are not happy at all. The reason why people end up in such a predicament is because they try to find happiness in the wrong places and with the wrong people. For some, material wealth they obtain, being able to spend their money as they like, buy whatevet they want & consume more & more each day. For people like this, consumption, experiencing every beuty & pleasure, is the greatest source of happiness in their lives. For some, happiness is being known & admired, someone whose favor or company is sought by everyone. Such people want to be admired & imitated in everything they do. For others, happiness is escape even for a short time from the troublesome & monotonous life they lead & its problems.

However, the happiness achieved by all these people is false & fleeting. It only exists in the moment & when the moment is over the happiness they feel passes with it & the person again returns to his troubled & monotonous life. Nothing has changed; the person has been comforted only for a short time. Since these people do not know the secret of happiness, the end they come to, whether a day, a month or a year later, is variably the same. We are told of the situation of such people who, during their lives, forget Allah & the Hereafter & live entirely according to their own desires & pleasures:

"Their likeness is that of people who light a fire, and then when it has lit up all around them, Allah removes their light & leaves them in darkness, unable to see" (Surah Al-Baqara : 17)

The ability of people to be happy & at peace depends upon their being able to make correct decisions during their experiences throughout their lives. For this a clear mind & the power of intelligence are necessary. The intelligence which can direct people to what is "correct" can be acquired only through faith in Allah & living according to the guidance of the Quran. In contrast, for people who involves in the matter of passion & addiction, prevent them from perceiving the truth for what it is. As a result, people such as these who throughout their lives do not submit to the guidance of the Quran are incapable of making correct & logical decisions on anything which happens to them. This causes them continually to make mistakes & to live in unhappiness & trouble.

The truth is that the life of people live in this world is the only chance they have of earning the approval of Allah. This opportunity they have been given may at any unexpected moment be taken from them. There is no making up for the life we live, no further chance of gaining the approval of Allah after we die. People who ignore these truths will be plugged into great sorrow on the Day of Judgment and will want to be sent back to the world again to act rightly for the purpose of winning Allah's approval. That on the Day of Judgment people want this opportunity over again is a very clear indication of the insignificance of everything in the life of this world. However, their wish will not be granted. In the Quran, Allah tells us of the regret & sorrow which those who see this truth only on the Day of Judgment will experience :

"If only you could see the evildoers hanging their heads in shame before their Lord : "Our Lord, we have seen & we have heard,so send us back again and we will act rightly. Truly er now have certainty." (Surah As-Sajada:12)

In these terms, life is a very valuable asset which Allah has granted to people. Such heedless people waste this valuable time on empty & meaningless occupations which will bring them no benefit on the Day of Judgment because they are passionately attached to the worldly advantages which have been given to them as a test. Without even noticing, they waste this life which will never be given back to them. Since their efforts, their desires & their deeds are not directed towards Allah's approval & the Hereafter, they simply waste their time on earth with useless distractions. Allah describes their situation in a verse of the Quran:

"Leave them to eat & enjoy themselves. Let false hope divert them. They will soon know."(Surah Al-Hijr: 3)

What will save people in the afterlife are good deeds done to earn Allah's approval. In a verse of the Quran, Allah warns us that these are the only actions which will be rewarded:

"But as for those who believe & do right actions, We will not let the wage of good-doers to waste."(Surah Al-Kahfi: 30)

Allah will make everything people do come to nothing, if they do not act with the intention of gaining His approval; in other words, these people will toil away but their efforts will be of no avail (Surah al-Ghashiyya: 3). Those who throughout their lives aim to gain Allah's approval & do not deviate from the guidance of the Quran will be happy. Allah makes this promise in the Quran as follows:

"Those who believe & do right actions, happiness will be theirs & a wonderful Homecoming." (Surah ar-Ra'd: 29)
