7 Indicators of happiness

Ibn Abbas ra. is one of the Companions of the Prophet SAW a very painstaking and serve in keeping Prophet SAW, which he never specifically didoakan Rasulullah SAW, more than that at the age of 9 years Ibn Abbas has memorize Al-Quran and has been a priest in the mosque. One day he was asked by the Tabi'in (generation after his death Prophet SAW) what is the happiness of the world.

Answer Ibn Abbas have 7 (seven) indicators happiness of the world, namely:

First, Qalbun syakirun or heart always be grateful.

Has always meant life happily accept what the (qona'ah), so that no excessive ambition, no stress, this is the favor for the heart, which is always grateful. A person who is very clever grateful intelligently understand the nature of Allah SWT, so that any given God he stunned even with the decision and God.

When you have trouble then he immediately remember sabda Prophet SAW, namely:
"If we're difficult to see who's more difficult to us." When you are given easy access, with gratitude he ibadahnya extend charity, and Allah will test it with greater ease again. When he was still "undisciplined" continue with gratitude Allah will test it again with greater ease again.

So happy that clever people are thankful!

Second. Al azwaju shalihah, the pair who live sholeh.

Couples who live sholeh will create the atmosphere of home and family are also sholeh. Later in the Hereafter, a husband (as a priest, the family) will be questioned in on his wife and son to kesholehan. Happy being a wife when the husband has sholeh, that will work hard to bring his wife and son to become a Muslim sholeh. Similarly, a wife who sholeh, will have the patience and sincerity of extremes in her serve, despite the bad behavior of her husband. So happy to be a husband who has a wife who sholeh.

Third, al auladun Abrar, namely children soleh.

When Rasulullah SAW thawaf again. He met with the man a young man who scratched pundaknya-abrasions. Once completed thawaf Prophet SAW said to the young people is: "Why pundakmu it?" Responsible young people that: "O Messenger of Allah, I am from Yemen, I have a mother who already udzur. I really love him and I never let him. I let my mother only when dispose of intent, when the prayer, or during breaks, in addition I always menggendongnya the rest. " Then the young people ask: "O Messenger of Allah, if I include the people who are kind to their parents?"
Prophet SAW while young people embrace it and say: "Allah ridho to you, you soleh children, children who are kind, but know my son, love orangtuamu will not terbalaskan olehmu". From hadist we get a picture of worship that our charity is not enough to reply to love and goodness our parents, but at least we can start with a child who soleh, where prayers to the children that their parents sholeh guaranteed God granted. Be happy when we have children who sholeh.

Fourth, albiatu sholihah, that is a conducive environment for our faith.

The definition of a conducive environment is, we can know anyone but to make it as friendly carib us, must be people who have added value to our faith. In a haditsnya, he always encourage us to interact with people who sholeh. Those who sholeh will always take the good and reminds us when we do wrong.

Sholeh people were happy because it favors Islamic faith and grace, which is always radiated light on the face. Allah light will illuminate join those who have around.

Happy is the people who is always surrounded by people who sholeh.

Fifth, al malul halal, or property of that.

Paradigm in Islam is not about wealth but many property halalnya. This does not mean that Islam does not prescribe for rich people.

Imam in Muslim history in the chapter sadaqoh, Rasulullah SAW met with a friend who prays the hand. "You pray is good," said the Prophet SAW, "But unfortunately the food, beverages and clothing, and where the illicit obtained, how doanya granted." Happy is the person to be lawful because the property is very easy doanya granted God. Of that property will also steer the devil's heart, the heart increasingly clean, pure and strong, so that gave his life in tranquility. So, happy people who always carefully guard kehalalan property.

Sixth, Tafakuh fi dien, or to understand the spirit of religion.

Understand the spirit of religion expressed in the spirit of the sciences of Islam. The more he learned, the more he inflame to learn more knowledge about the nature of God and His creation.

God promised favors to his people that the science, the more he learned the love for it to religion, the higher the love for God and his messengers. Love is what will provide light for the heart.

Will understand the spirit of religion to "life" is his heart, the heart of "life" is a heart filled with light, which is always favors Islamic faith and grace. So, happy people who understand the science of the spirit of Islam.

Seventh, the age of baroqah.

Age baroqah which means that the old age of the sholeh, that every second filled with religious charities. A person who fills his life for the happiness of the world alone, the day parents will be filled with many bernostalgia (daydream) about the youth, he tends to be disappointed with ketuaannya (post-power syndrome). In addition pikirannya focused on how to enjoy the rest of his life, he occupied the fancy of the enjoyment of the world that have not yet had time to feel it, his heart when he was disappointed not able to enjoy the pleasure of diangankannya. Meanwhile, people who fill many of the age prepare for the Hereafter (through religious charities) the more the older he was longing to meet with the creator. Day filled with parents with the bermesraan Most Pengasih. There is no sense of fear to leave this world, he even hope to fully experience the beauty of nature right next life as God promised. This is the spirit of "life" of those who baroqah age, the happy people who baroqah age.

Thus messages from Ibn Abbas ra. 7 on indicators of happiness of the world.

How can we dikaruniakan God to seven indicators of happiness in the world? In addition to our effort to improve, seek Allah SWT and the often-se khusyu 'prayer may be read `broom Jagat', that is the most common prayer read by the Prophet SAW. Where the first line of the prayer is "Rabbanaa aatina fid-dun yaa hasanaw" (which means "O Allah, I karuniakanlah world happiness"), has a meaning that we are to ask God to seven indicators of the happiness of the world Ibn Abbas ra, the heart is always fortunately, a couple living soleh, soleh children, friends or the environment soleh, property of that, the spirit to understand the teachings of religion, and age of baroqah.

Although we get the seventh akui difficult it is in our grasp, at least if we get some of it is we should syukuri.

While the continuity of prayer is the broom Jagat "wa fil aakhirati hasanaw" (which means "happiness and the Hereafter"), for the only the grace of God. Happiness of the Hereafter is not a paradise but grace of God, love of God. Heaven is but a small part of God's grace, we go to Heaven not because soleh our charity, but because the grace of God.

Amal soleh that we do throughout our lives (even though every day fasting and prayer night) is not enough to get tickets go to Heaven. Amal soleh sesempurna whatever we do for life is not comparable with our favor God promised paradise.

Words of the Prophet SAW, "Amal soleh that you can not do is to enter paradise." Then the friend asked: "How do you do with the Messenger of Allah?". Answer Rasulullah SAW: "Charity soleh I was also not enough." Then the friends back said: "If so with what we go to Heaven?". Prophet SAW back said: "We can only go to Heaven because God's mercy and goodness alone."

So our prayer, our fasting, we taqarub to God is not to heaven but to get the grace of God. With the grace of God that we have the paradise of God (Allah, Amiin).
