Making Someone Happy Makes You Happy

Even though our definition of happiness may not be the same, we know the feeling of being happy. Having a happy life and being happy is what we all seek. But how do we do that? How can we be happy?

There is a beautiful verse in the holy Quran that tells us how to be happy and have a happy life "Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - We will surely cause him to live a good life, and We will surely give them their reward [in the Hereafter] according to the best of what they used to do." Quran 16:97

This is what happens when we do righteousness. We are happy and have a happy life. And this is what happens when we help people who need help.

Helping the poor, the needy, the homeless, or whoever needs our help brings happiness to the heart. There is nothing like the satisfaction that one feels when they see the joy that they have brought to the lives of others. Such unselfish work for the sake of Allah purifies the soul , softens the heart, and makes us share other people's joys. It also shows our love for one another. The greatest prophet peace be upon him said " No one truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself. "

If you want to be happy, help those who need your help. Making someone happy makes you happy.
