*LIVING IN A HUT WITH FAITH IS BETTER THAN LIVING IN A PALACE WITH DISBELIEF*
"And give glad tidings to those who believe..." [Qur'an 2:25]
A muslim woman living in a hut, worshipping her Lord, offering her five daily prayers and fasting Ramadān, is happier than a woman who lives in a lofty palace with servants and all means of luxuries. A believing woman living in a tent and eating barley bread and drinking water from an earthenware jar, who has her Mushaf and Masbahah (Muslim rosary) with her, is better off than a woman who lives in an ivory tower in rooms furnished with velvet, but who does not know her Lord or follow her prophet. You should understand the true meaning of happiness: it is not the narrow and distorted meaning that many people imagine. Do you think that happiness is to be found in dollars and dinars, furnishings and clothing, food and drink, means of transportation? Not at all. Happiness is contentment in the heart, peace of mind, a sense of stability, joy in the heart, a righteous attitude, good behaviour and being content with what is sufficient.
"How can he feel relaxed or content, who harms a Muslim or a slave?"
*{To be continued In-sha-Allāh (If Allāh Wills)...}*
*"And keep reminding, because reminding benefits the believers."* (Qur'an 51:55)
