Al-'Allaamah Ibnul-Qayyim

May Allaah have mercy upon him

"The greatest way to achieve happiness is through Tawheed. The happiness of a person's heart depends upon its perfection, strength and increase."

[Zaad Al-Ma'aad]

Explanation of Shaykh Muhammad Amaan Al-Jaamee, may Allaah have mercy upon him:

"Tawheed can weaken and strengthen in the servant's soul and it can increase and decrease. This is because the basis of Tawheed is belief in Allaah and singling Him out with all worship and to single Him out with His names and attributes, along with singling Him out with His Lordship, and the people are of different levels in their actualization of this Tawheed.

Therefore, the happiness of a person depends upon the perfection of this Tawheed, its strength and increase. The causes for the weakening of Tawheed and its decrease; and the weakening of Eemaan (faith) and its decrease are acts of disobedience and turning away from Allaah (subhaanaHu wa Ta'Aalaa).

The causes for the strengthening of Tawheed and the strengthening of Eemaan and the increase of Tawheed and the increase of Eemaan are acts of obedience and compliance, if they are performed in accordance to what the Messenger of Allaah (SallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) came with."

Guidance Is Of Two Types

فَمَن يُرِدِ ٱللَّهُ أَن يَهْدِيَهُۥ يَشْرَحْ صَدْرَهُۥ لِلْإِسْلَٰمِۖ وَمَن يُرِدْ أَن يُضِلَّهُۥ يَجْعَلْ صَدْرَهُۥ ضَيِّقًا حَرَجًا كَأَنَّمَا يَصَّعَّدُ فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَجْعَلُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلرِّجْسَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

(Interpretation of the meaning)

"So whoever Allaah wants to guide - He expands his breast to [contain] Islaam; and whoever He wants to misguide - He makes his breast tight and constricted as though he were climbing into the sky. Thus does Allaah place defilement upon those who do not believe."

[Al-Quraan 6:125]


Explanation of Shaykh Muhammad Amaan Al-Jaamee, may Allaah have mercy upon him:

"'So whoever Allaah wants to guide,' meaning whoever Allaah wants to guide with the two types of guidance:

1) The guidance of clarification, direction and instruction.

2) The guidance of success and inspiration.

Allaah expands his chest to [accept] Islaam. So he loves Islaam and is delighted with it, which is submission and surrender [to Allaah]. He finds himself loving Islaam, loving religiosity and loving uprightness.

If the servant recognises from himself these ideals, then this means that Allaah has expanded his chest to [accept] Islaam and He has guided him. This is the guidance of clarification, direction and instruction, which is followed by the guidance of success and inspiration, such that Allaah grants him success to perform righteous actions, be sincere and follow His Messenger (SallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) in these deeds. No actions are accepted unless two prerequisites are both met:

1) To sincerely perform the action for Allaah in a way where it is not corrupted by showing off, the love of fame, prestige and prominence. However, he solely seeks with this the face of Allaah alone.

2) This action has to be in accordance to what the Messenger of Allaah (SallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) came with.

So Allaah grants him success to accomplish this."

May Allaah have mercy upon him

“The best of cures for sadness is to know that one cannot bring back what he has missed, and that by being sad, one is just adding a misfortune to an already existing misfortune, thus making it two misfortunes.”

Ar-Rum 30:39

وَمَآ ءَاتَيْتُم مِّن رِّبًا لِّيَرْبُوَا۟ فِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِ ٱلنَّاسِ فَلَا يَرْبُوا۟ عِندَ ٱللَّهِۖ وَمَآ ءَاتَيْتُم مِّن زَكَوٰةٍ تُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَ ٱللَّهِ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُضْعِفُونَ

And whatever you give for interest to increase within the wealth of people will not increase with Allaah. But what you give in zakah, desiring the countenance of Allaah - those are the multipliers.

Knowledge Is From The Ways To Achieve Happiness

Al-'Allaamah Ibnul-Qayyim, may Allaah have mercy upon him:

"From the ways to achieve happiness is knowledge."

Explanation of Al-'Allaamah Muhammad Amaan Al-Jaamee, may Allaah have mercy upon him:

"The definite article (ال) in the word العلم (knowledge) is referring to something particular, which is that well-known, renowned knowledge, and this is the beneficial knowledge that has been inherited from the Messenger of Allaah (SallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam).

Verily, this brings happiness to the heart and expands it, until it is more expansive than the world itself, because the servant is upon knowledge in his religion and upon knowledge in his journey to Allaah.

He is not unmethodical in his journey to Allaah, in his worship of Him, his obedience to Him and in his dealings with his Muslim brothers and the non-Muslims. That is why he said,

'Until it is vaster than the world itself.'

This is because he knows how to live in this world, how to conduct himself with his Lord, how to deal with His allies and how to deal with His enemies. He knows everything that he is required to know."
