    About this ebook

    This book teaches a Muslim the secret to happiness and productivity. True happiness is the ultimate goal that all humankind searches for in this worldly life. Popular ideas about what leads to happiness are misleading and erroneous. They instead cause tension, anxiety, and stress. Based on the Book by Shaykh Abdur Rahman bin Nasr as-Sa’di (rahimahullaah) this book is a compilation of a sister’s notes on the book and also part of a lecture by Shaykh Tim Humble. Both the scholars give an effective means to happiness based on Quran and Hadith. By following their advice, you will reduce stress, enhance productivity, manage emotions, improve health, increase energy, and generally change your life for the better. You will rise above fear, doubt, and uncertainty; break self-defeating habits; improve performance and find fulfillment in your work; build more satisfying relationships; and, create a rich, full and meaningful life. Whoever follows the advice in this book will find self-awareness and a pathway to joy and success in this life and the next, Insha’Allah.

      Happy Productive Muslim - Dr. Muddassir Khan

      Introduction

      Happiness is the desire and goal of every person, regardless of their religion, race, or gender.

      That is the main goal behind most of our endeavors, and all of us chase happiness! Yet many lives are full of sorrow, grief, and depression, not because this goal has not been pursued, but rather because the basic building blocks of happiness are not understood.

      We find that people seek happiness from wealth, reputation, beauty, etc. But these are all temporary means of happiness; therefore, their effect is also temporary.

      There are three ways to attain true happiness:

      Through Religious Means: From the Quran and Sunnah.

      Through natural ways: A person overcomes grief naturally.

      Through practical means: This is based on experience and struggle.

      Natural and practical means can be used by both believers (Muslims) and non-believers, but only a believer can take full advantage of all three means and gain real happiness.

      Trials and anxieties are part of this life. So when we say we want a happy life, this does not mean that there will be no tests when we are happy. Rather, the focus should be on how the person views the test and thus handles it.

      To summarize - happiness is an emotional state of well-being characterized by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to extreme joy. It is the feeling of the heart that leads to a state of contentment and well-being and thus excludes feelings of sadness and worry.

      Chapter 1

      The greatest means to a happy life is faith (Islam) and doing the righteous good actions.

      Allah assures such people who believe in Islam and do righteous actions of a good life.

      This is a promise from Al-Mu'min, He who is able to fulfill His promise.

      Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him We will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and We shall pay them certainly a reward in proportion to the best of what they used to do (i.e., Paradise in the Hereafter).

      (Surah An-Nahl, 16:97)

      Allah promises them a good life in the dunya (world) and the best reward in Aakhirah (the hereafter).

      This is a genuine and eternal happiness.

      Faith and good actions are always mentioned together in the Qur’an, because one cannot exist without the other.

      As our faith grows, this would automatically lead to an increase in our good deeds.

      For example, as we increase our knowledge of the names and attributes of Allah and when we know that He sees everything, hears, we are thus more aware of our speech and vision and strive to hear and look at things that please Allah.

      A person with true faith is strong and firm in all his affairs, and his faith is set by example in all his actions.

      We see evidence of this in the following verse:

      See you not how Allah sets forth a parable? - A goodly word as a goodly tree, whose root is firmly fixed, and its branches (reach) to the sky (i.e., very high).

      (Surah Ibrahim, 14:24)

      A strong believer has strong foundations and principles by which he can receive all that has been given to him.

      He is tested like everyone but he differs in how he reacts to the tests.
