What is satisfaction?

This is a heartfelt feeling in which your heart appreciates the present resources and blessings and does not grieve over what is not received, as if the heart finds peace.

How and when is a person dissatisfied?

Every human being has some standards of profit and loss in his life. In his view, when he does not get the desired profit or lacks in it, he becomes nervous and judgmental in temporary situations and starts seeing the loss of the end. If one cannot see the good in evil, a person with such an attitude leads an unsatisfied life.

How to bring satisfaction in yourself?

Achieving a sense of satisfaction is only in one thought and that And that is in “Alhamdulillah”. It is a kind of achievement There is a sense of accomplishment There are basically 2 things in “Alhamdulillah”. Thanks and appreciation That is, start seeing and appreciating what you have and even the things you don’t want, because sometimes small losses can save big losses.

Step 1: Pay attention to the blessings, be happy with what you got, what you didn’t get was not good for you.

This thought will take you out of the feeling of deprivation. You will become a strong person. Because your Lord is “Lord of the Worlds”.

In Arabic, Lord is called the creator, master and best planner. When you accept Allah as the “Creator” that He has created me in the best form, as mentioned in the Qur’an. For the sake of mankind Indeed, We created man in the best form. So this will also give you a sense of achievement.

For example, how?

Let me explain you !consider the example of flowers. Allah created flowers of different colors, fragrances and sizes. If someone says that the sunflower is better than the jasmine because it is bigger in height. So will this be the correct explanation? ….Surely not! Because there is a difference in the characteristics of both. In the same way, when people want to make you uncomfortable by pointing out your color, body shape and physical weakness or disability, remember that even though the jasmine is small in stature and colorless, the fragrance is found in it and the purpose of the flower is to give fragrance. It happens, even the structure of human beings does not have that much value, if you feel any deficiency, then help others with your morals like jasmine, because the purpose of human creation is not only to beautify oneself, but to help them to move forward in life.

And remember! Every creation has its own purpose. If you have any deficiency, there will be a characteristic. Recognize this characteristic and know that you are unique. Accept yourself, your appearance and your style, stop comparing. This will remove your inferiority complex when you accept yourself as you are and it will restore your confidence.

Then consider Allah as the “owner”, that effort is in my control, sustenance and all resources are the owner and authority of Allah and He can do whatever He wants. Especially in matters that are beyond your control, put your trust in Allah, this thought will help you to feel content. Then consider Allah as “Mudbar”. The best planner of your life Sometimes a person asks Allah for prosperity and Allah brings trials for him, why does the Lord do this? So that when we meet good situations and people after the bad, we know how to value them. When we recognize that He is the best thinker, that there is goodness in all His decisions, this thought will make us worry about the future and give us heart contentment.

2_ Make Allah the center of your love and devotion not the person!

 

In human nature, Allah has placed the desire to love, to want and to be desired by someone who is available to him at all times and in all situations and only wants his good. While this is not possible in real life! A person’s peace of mind is destroyed when he does not get the desired behavior that he hoped for.

So how to fill this gap?

Al-Arrahman

will be from These words, which are attributes of Allah, are derived from the word (mercy). There are 2 things involved in this: loving someone very one-sidedly and caring for someone well.

So, the first right of human beings belongs to Allah, then don’t ask any human being for it first, because even human beings can do everything for you to a certain extent.

3_ Don’t ask for reward and revenge in life immediately.

 

Because this is done by a person who has no (long term goal) in his life, he is always in an emotional state. While Allah says:

The King of the World

“He is the Lord of the Day of Retribution.”

So leave some decisions for later.

4_ Let’s establish communication with Allah.

Iyyaka Na`egbud

Hazrat Ali Raza says:

When my heart wants to talk to Allah, I pray; and when my heart wants to talk to Allah, I read the Holy Quran.

Many things in life we start sincerely or pray for something, when we are not able to accept it, then we get angry with Allah and we do not feel heart in worship because we get angry with Allah. So for the satisfaction of the heart. It is necessary to make Allah a friend and share everything with Him, for that you can read the translation of a few verses of the Qur’an every day to see what message my Lord has given to me today, if you learn it regularly from a teacher, it is much better.

 

 

5_ Work hard to achieve things that benefit you, then trust in Allah.

wa iyyaka nasta’in :

“And we only ask for help from you”

If the circumstances in life are going against you, then it is a condition to try once, because nasta’in is the help of asking Allah for which a person first tries himself and then expects help from Allah.

In such a situation, Allah will surely help you. When your help comes from Allah, it will give you peace by not worrying about future dangers.

6_Determine the path, not the destination in life.

Ihd na al-sirrat al-mustaqeem

Show us the straight (and true) path.

For example: You set the goal of life to be a successful businessman in any situation. This thought will keep you focused on one thing, forgetting all the halal and haram, and even if you do everything, you will not be able to see the end of what you thought?

So, look at the path leading to the destination, work hard on it, be pure because even if you don’t become what you thought, the journey of the path,

Experiences will make you a capable person,… hard work is in the hands of man and authority is with Allah.

 

7_ Make role models in life those who have done well, take lessons from misguided and unsuccessful people.

The path of those whom You have rewarded. Not of those who were angered and not of the misguided.

Follow those who have made a good name and a place in the world, because a living person has chances to make mistakes and go astray. It is not correct to follow them in every right and wrong.
