*ENTER THE GARDEN OF KNOWLEDGE*
*"... And whosoever fears Allāh and keeps his duty to Him, He will make His matter easy for him." [Qur'an 65:4]*
One of the means of finding happiness is understanding Islam, for learning about Islam brings contentment and pleases the Lord. As the prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) said: *"When Allāh intends good for a person, He grants him understanding of religion."* So read easily- available books of knowledge and understanding of Islam, such as Riyād as-Sālihīn, Figh as-Sunnah, Figh as-Dalīl, easy Tafsīrs (interpretations) and useful essays. Remember that the best of your deeds is to know what Allāh meant in His Book and what the prophet (Blessings and peace be upon him) meant in his sunnah, so study the Glorious Qur'an a great deal with your sisters, memorise whatever you can of it, listen to and act upon it, because ignorance of Islam leads to darkness and anxiety in the heart. You should have a home library, even if it is small, containing useful books and tapes. Beware of wasting time listening to songs and watching soap operas, for you will be called to account for every second of your life, so make the most of your time to please Allāh, the Exalted, Almighty.
*"The most difficult time could be made easier by the smile of a confident person."*
