Can Money Buy Happiness ?

Is every wealthy man – a happy man ? can money buy happiness ?

can money buy happiness

Once there was a wealthy man, he had wealth and was not short of anything. Many times at 2 or 3 o’clock in the morning his eyes would open and some business plan would comes in his mind. From this time he cannot close his eyes – his mind is busy devising schemes to realize this plan. Most of the times the plan works and he has the money in his hand, but then he would ask himself, “What is the pleasure in this..? Was it worth to sacrifice my sleep? Yes, the plan was successful but then why there is still some emptiness inside me, as if I am not satisfied; not content with what I have…!!

Gautama Buddha, who was facing this same dilemma in the midst of all the riches and pleasures of his time, left his palace to find an answer to this question.

Prosperity is not to be measured by wealth or worldly gains. There is a higher prosperity -the health of the mind and of the Soul.

Generally we feel that money is a blessing, but this not a general rule. The suicide of Famous Hollywood actor comedian Robin Williams is the latest example of this. For many at times wealth actually becomes a burden, a punishment and a mean of retrogression instead of progress.

We see this happening all around us that a man sees it (wealth in abundance) and gets happy and excited. But the excitement doesn’t stop here – it goes on to produce negative consequences.

When the love of wealth intensifies it declines with difficultly, as it gets aggravated and reaches up to the extent that all the interest is shown in wealth alone and a person does not pay due importance to any religious or worldly affairs, except how to increase his wealth. This makes him uneasy and disturbed all the time.

A sign of this mad passion for wealth is a dog who is always hanging its tongue out, always thirsty and always is such a man piling up wealth, not for use and service of those who need it, but in miserly hoards, as if such hoards can prolong the miser’s life or give him immortality.

When this inordinate desire monopolies the attention of the masses, it gradually spreads like a disease without being noticed, but causing great harm.

Not only drying the streams of Charity for others but it also starts distracting the people around by its craze for amusement or gain, leaving no room for higher things in life and people get engrossed in these things until death approaches them, and when looked back; it is a life wasted, a life without purpose, a life without aim and then there remains no time to

Think again…

The mutual rivalry diverts you, Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die). No! You shall come to know! No Again! You shall soon come to know! No! If you knew with a sure knowledge (the end result of piling up, you would not have occupied yourselves in worldly things). Yes! You will see the blazing Fire (Hell)! Yes Again! You will see it with certainty of your sight! Then on that Day you shall be questioned about the delights (you indulged in, in this world)! Al-Qur’aan Ch.102 Ver. 1-8

Islamization of Education --(TEACHER'S MANUAL) By Dr. Bilal Philips The topic of Islamization of Education has been under discussion for almost the last 40 years. It can bedated back to at least the 20th century, where educators from various parts of the world gathered in Makkah in the 70s, and analyzed the problems. Muslims were facing with regards to Education. They looked at the existing models and discussed Islamic requirements, and they wrote about the need for Islamization of knowledge as it is conveyed in the educational institutions.

Education is primarily the responsibility of parents, it is primarily the responsibility of the Muslim parents to educate their Muslim children.

What was the message of Jesus..?

What was the message of Jesus..? If there would have been more than one master of this universe, then there would surely have been great crisis. But, we don ’ t see any crisis around us, in fact there is such a perfect harmony behind all the forces of nature that no reasonable mind can fail to see behind all creation one single and all powerful Command of one single and all powerful Creator. Therefore, reason refuses to accept the idea of conflicting gods, and points towards the Unifying command in creation indicating the Unity of the Creator. This is not only the message of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) but the message of all the Prophets who came before him. The message given to every Prophet in all ages was to believe in One and Only God confirming with the fundamental basis of creation on which this universe runs. They never say anything before they receive Allah ’ s commands to say it, and their acts are conditioned accordingly. This is also the teac...

मिराज क्या है ..?

मिराज क्या है ..? मिराज भ्रम की एक अजीब घटना है। रेगिस्तान में एक अकेला यात्री, प्यास से लगभग मर रहा है, पानी की एक विस्तृत शीट देखता है। लेकिन हकीकत में वहां कोई पानी नहीं है, यह उसकी दृष्टि का एक धोका है - एक मिराज है। वह उस दिशा में आगे बढ़ता रहता है, लेकिन कुछ भी नहीं पाता और आखिरकार चरम शारीरिक और मानसिक दर्द में मर जाता है। ईश्वर का अस्तित्व एक पूर्ण वास्तविकता है, जबकि दूसरी ओर उसकी अस्वीकृति, खुद में वास्तविकता नहीं है बल्कि इस पूर्ण वास्तविकता से इनकार है - एक मिराज है। जो लोग इस तथ्य से इनकार करते हैं, उसके विरूद्ध विद्रोह करते हैं, और उसके चिन्हों को देखने से इंकार करते हैं, वे महासागर के गेहरे अंधेरों में हैं, अंधेरे में लहर, एक दूसरे के ऊपर, और उसपर घने अंधेरे बादल! वास्तविकता की दुनिया में प्रकाश का सच्चा स्रोत अल्लाह है, और जो लोग इस प्रकाश से खुद को काटते हैं वे वास्तव में अंधेरे में हैं, क्योंकि यह केवल एकमात्र सच्ची रोशनी को अस्वीकार करते हैं। उनके सभी कर्म एक मिराज द्वारा भ्रमित आदमी की तरह हैं। जिस सच्चाई को उन्होंने खारिज कर दिया वह हमेशा उनक...

How to conquer Time?

How to conquer Time? All history shows that Evil came to an evil end and time is always in favour of those live clean and pure lives and know how to wait in patience and constancy having faith in God and His messengers. Time through the ages bear witness that nothing remains except Good deeds and teachings of Truth. If he is going to waste or misuse life, Man against time is in loss. In the Qurán an appeal is made with respect to Time as one of the creations of Allah, of which everyone knows something but of which no one can fully explain the exact significance. If life is considered to be a business bargain, Man by merely accumulating material wealth or gains, will lose. When he makes up his account, it will show a loss. It will only show a profit if he obeys God and follow His messengers, leads a good life, and contributes to society by directing and encouraging other people on the path of Truth and constancy. If he lived only for himself, ...

What was the message of Jesus..?

Worship God not His creation.! / भगवान की पूजा करो, उसकी रचना की नही..!

Worship God not His creation.! / भगवान की पूजा करो , उसकी रचना की नही ..! Night and Day are opposites, and yet, they both subserve the purpose of human good, because the night gives us rest while during the day we promote activity. The sun and the moon are similarly complementary. They are but instruments: God is the Cause, worship God, and not the things which He has created. Use the things which He has created, but do not worship them. They are but Signs pointing towards Him. Think again… And from among His Signs are the night and the day and the sun and the moon. Prostrate not to the sun nor to the moon, but prostrate yourself to Allah Who created them, if it is Him you (really) worship. (Al-Qur’aan Sura. 41 Ayat. 37) भगवान की पूजा करो , उसकी रचना की नहीं ..! रात और दिन एक दूसरे के विरोधी हैं पर फिर भी वे दोनों इंसान की खिदमत में लगे हैं, क्योंकि दिन हमें हमारी गतिविधि करने में सहयता देता है और रात क...
