The Prophet Muhammad said: { The happiest man in the world of those doomed to the Fire (Hell) on the Day of Judgment will be dipped in the Fire once. Then he will be asked: “Son of Adam, did you ever see any good? Did you ever experience any blessing?” So he will say: “No, by God, O Lord!” }1 (3) Real Happiness and Inner Peace Real happiness and peace can be found in submitting to the commands of the Creator and the Sustainer of this world. God has said in the Qur’an: Truly, in remembering God do hearts find rest. (Qur’an, 13:28) On the other hand, the one who turns away from the Qur’an will have a life of hardship in this world. God has said: But whoever turns away from the Qur’an,2 he will have a hard life, and We will raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment. (Qur’an, 20:124) This may explain why some people commit suicide while they enjoy the material comfort money can buy. For example, look at Cat Stevens (nowYusuf Islam), formerly a famous pop singer who used to earn sometimes more than $150,000 a night. After he converted to Islam, he found true happiness and peace, which he had not found in material success.3 Chapter 2 Some Benefits of Islam (3) Real Happiness and Inner Peace A Brief Illustrated Guide To Understanding Islam 43 (1) Narrated inSaheeh Muslim, #2807, andMosnad Ahmad, #12699.
