*A LITTLE THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY IS BETTER THAN A LOT THAT MAKES YOU MISERABLE*
"Be content with that which ALLĀH has decreed for you, and you will be the richest of people."
The part of your life that really counts is that in which you are happy and contented. As for greed and panic, they do not count at all. They are bad for your health and rob you of your beauty. Remain content with ALLĀH and with what is decreed for you; believe in Al-Qadar (the divine decree) and be optimistic about the future. Be like a butterfly, which is light-hearted and beautiful, not attached to mere things; it flies from flower to flower, from hill to hill, from garden to garden. Or be like a bee, which eats good things and produces good things; when it lands on a branch or flower, it does not break it; it takes the nectar and does not sting, and produces honey and does not sting, and buzzes with love and glad tidings, reflecting a sense of contentment, as if it is a heavenly creature that has come down to earth.
"ALLĀH loves those who repent and turn to Him."

*OUR HAPPINESS IS NOT LIKE THEIRS*
"In order that you may not be sad over matters that you fail to get, nor rejoice because of that which has been given to you..." (Qur-ān 57:23)
Who told you that distracting music, immoral songs, cheap soap operas, reprehensible plays, offensive magazines and dubious movies bring happiness and joy? Whoever told you that, is lying! These are things that lead to misery, depression and distress, as acknowledged by those who have worked in those fields and then repented. So flee from this miserable life of idlers who deviate from the straight path of ALLĀH, and come to recitation of the Qur-ān with humility, useful books, moving lessons, stirring khutbahs (sermons), true friendship, sincere repentance. Come to spiritual gatherings and remembrance of ALLĀH; may He accept your repentance and fill your heart with tranquility and peace.
"In the sound heart there is no room for Shirk (polytheism), deceit, rancour or envy."

*CLIMB ABOARD THE SHIP OF SALVATION*
"O' my Lord! Expand for me my breast (grant me self-confidence, contentment, and boldness." (Qur-ān Chapter 20:25)
I have read the stories of dozens of actors, singers and others who were involved in idle pursuits, both living and dead, and I said: What a shame! Where are the Muslim men and women, the believing men and women, the sincere men and women, the men and women who fast, the sincere men and women, the men and women who worship Almighty ALLĀH, the Exalted, the men and women who are humble and devout? Can this short life be wasted on idle matters and trivial pursuits? Do you have another life besides this one? Do you have a promise from ALLĀH that you will never die? No, by ALLĀH. These are just false illustrations and wishful thinking. Take stock of yourself, then, and draw up a new plan; strive hard to catch and climb aboard the ship of salvation.
"The wise woman turns a desert into a beautiful garden."
