One day, one friend asked
another, "How is it that you are always so happy?
You have so much energy, and
you never seem to get down." With her eyes smiling, she said,
"I know the Secret!"
"What secret is that?"
To which she replied, "I'll
tell you all about it, but you have to promise to share the
Secret with others."
"The Secret is this: I have
learned there is little I can do in my life that will make me
truly happy. I must depend on ALLAH to make me happy and to meet
my needs. When a need arises in my life, I have to trust ALLAH to
supply according to HIS riches. I have learned most of the time I
don't need half of what I think I do. He has never let me down.
Since I learned that 'Secret', I am happy."
The questioner's first thought
was, "That's too simple!" But upon reflecting over her own life
she recalled how she thought a bigger house would make her happy,
but it didn't! She thought a better paying job would make her
happy, but it hadn't. When did she realize her greatest
happiness? Sitting on the floor with her grandchildren, playing
games, eating pizza or reading a story, a simple gift from ALLAH.
Now you know it too! We can't
depend on people to make us happy. Only ALLAH in His infinite
wisdom can do that. Trust HIM!
And now I pass the Secret on
to you! So once you get it, what will you do?
YOU have to tell someone the
Secret, too! That ALLAH in His wisdom will take care of YOU! But
it's not really a secret... We just have to believe it and do
it... Really trust ALLAH! |
