*The Happiest Woman in the World*
*(A Treasure Chest of Reminders)*
*Part 2 of 6*
*TAKE CARE OF TODAY ONLY*
"When Allāh loves some people He tests them." [Hadīth]
A happy person once said:
"The beautiful day is the day on which we have control of our affairs and our affairs do not control us. It is the day on which we control our desires and we are not controlled by them like slaves.
Some of these days I can remember and will never forget.
Every day on which I managed to save myself from the vicious circle of worrying about what I can and cannot do is a wonderful day.
How wonderful is the day on which I was hesitating whether to do a deed for which people would praise me or a deed for which no one would praise me, and no one would know about it, so I forsook the praise of people and was content to do an action which I will remember for as long as I live, but which no one will hear about.
How wonderful is the day on which I felt that my pockets were filling with money but my conscience was devoid of dignity, so I decided that I would rather be penniless and have a clear conscience.
These days are wonderful, and the most wonderful thing about them is that my worldly gain on these days is very small, but the fact that I gained self-respect from my actions far outweighs that, and what I gained on such days is great, praise be to Allāh, the Exalted, All-Merciful."
"Be happy with what is in your hand, content with whatever Allāh has decreed and give up all daydreams that do not suit your efforts and abilities."
*{To be continued In-sha-Allāh (If Allāhw Wills)...}*
*"And keep reminding, because reminding benefits the believers."* (Qur'an 51:55)
