Page 94 - Those Who Exhaust All Their Pleasures In This Life

IT IS POSSIBLE TO RETRIEVE

THESE LOST PLEASURES

any people express that they are unhappy, even
M though they have many wonderful blessings as

M well as the means to enjoy them, and regard life
as full of difficulty and anxiety. But during their lives, they
have to stop and ask themselves what they are doing,
what their goals are, and where they are going. They have
to consider that life amidst so many wonderful and pleas-
ant things should not be so difficult, painful, and unhappy.
They should look for the source of their spiritual emptiness
and the meaninglessness of their lives, and understand
that wasting more time will only increase their unhappi-
ness. Although they base their lives on making the best
and most pleasant use of their resources, they must real-
ize that there is a special reason why they cannot be happy
and enjoy their blessings. They must see this situation as
part of Allah’s mercy and compassion, which is designed
to give them countless opportunities to turn to Him and fol-
low the Qur’an’s morality.
