[0:00]Lajamanu shaytan al rajim bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahim I begin in the name

[0:05]of the Almighty God the compassionate the merciful the one who has

[0:13]created everything an utmost perfection and may the peace and blessings of

[0:17]the Almighty God be upon his pure and beloved messenger the peak

[0:20]of his creation the symbol of humanity the holy prophet muhammad sallallahu

[0:26]aleyhi wa la ilaha illa allah muhammad ali muhammad and his immaculate

[0:32]progeny of the idol made peace be upon them all allah subhanaw

[0:36]taala states in the holy quran smeller rahmanir rahim Manami la sala

[0:43]ham endocrine Alonza hua hua mo meanin'ful an Orion who hayatun babe

[0:50]when a Nazi Nahum adjara home be ours an American we are

[0:56]maroon in this blessed verse Allah spano Tara states those who believe

[1:01]and do good we will give them a pleasant life a wonderful

[1:05]life a good life and we will give them their reward in

[1:12]the best way possible sadaqa allahu allah allahu la même illuminates your

[1:19]hearts and minds with a very loud Salawat when we examine our

[1:29]lives today throughout history we find that one objective one goal every

[1:40]human being is trying to achieve in his life is happiness we're

[1:45]always trying to secure happiness we're running after happiness we're trying to

[1:52]find happiness in our lives some people try to achieve happiness through

[1:56]wealth they think the more money they can make the better salary

[2:02]they can secure the more happiness they'll have some people think it's

[2:07]by having a nice mansion a wonderful home a wonderful house you'll

[2:12]be happy so people try to find their happiness in their career

[2:17]by pursuing the career of their interest they will achieve happiness some

[2:23]people are trying to find their happiness through these gadgets or through

[2:28]apps I've known some people every day they download like 3-4 apps

[2:32]and you ask this person why you know what is it that

[2:36]you need do you really need these apps do you know what

[2:40]they are you feel there's something inside them they're trying to just

[2:43]gain some satisfaction some happiness even if it comes through an application

[2:47]on their smartphone every human being is trying to pursue happiness but

[2:52]the question is my dear brothers and sisters do any of these

[2:56]mentioned guarantee happiness for the human being does your career guarantee that

[3:01]you will be happy throughout your life does your wealth your property

[3:06]guarantee that you will be happy even your family some people they

[3:10]take pride in their families especially if they have big families and

[3:15]that is a great source of joy and happiness in your life

[3:18]but does that guarantee you will be happy what is it that

[3:23]guarantees that you will be happy none of these guarantee happiness for

[3:26]you because every single day we see people in society who have

[3:29]that wealth who have that car who have that mansion who have

[3:32]that family but they're not happy they're struggling in their pursuit of

[3:37]happiness in fact if you look at the correlation between wealth and

[3:47]happiness it's quite striking back in the 60s according to surveys and

[3:53]studies American were happier than they are today on average today only

[4:00]33 percent of Americans say that they are happy only 33 percent

[4:05]of Americans express that they are actually happy and satisfied with their

[4:11]lives that means you've got almost 70 percent who are not happy

[4:14]with their lives two thirds of the American population are saying we're

[4:19]not happy we're not finding that satisfaction in our lives now interestingly

[4:25]you find that Americans today are three times as rich as Americans

[4:30]were in the 60s if you look at the GDP if you

[4:36]look at the average income it has tripled since the 1960's so

[4:40]we've had more wealth on average but the rates of happiness have

[4:47]gone down what does this indicate my dear brothers and sisters today

[4:51]if you ask any person about happiness the average person will quickly

[4:56]tell you that if I have the amount of wealth that I

[5:01]desire and I want I should be a happy person but statistics

[5:04]reveal otherwise scientific studies are giving us another picture how much money

[5:10]do you need to be happy ask now an average person do

[5:15]this mental exercise in your mind now if someone were to tell

[5:18]you how much money do you need to really feel happy with

[5:22]your life a lot of people will probably think of in the

[5:24]millions of dollars right if I have ten million dollars twenty million

[5:27]dollars thirty some people even are very ambitious they'll think in the

[5:33]billions if I have a billion dollars I'm sure I'll have a

[5:36]happy life but what do these surveys show the surveys reveal that

[5:44]for you to be happy on average if you live in America

[5:46]or one of the rich nations you don't need more than sixty

[5:51]to seventy five thousand dollars a year if you're making sixty to

[5:55]seventy five thousand dollars a year on average you're happy in America

[6:00]and some other parts of the world like Latin America that figures

[6:03]around thirty five thousand dollars yes those people who are poor they're

[6:07]suffering from poverty they go through that stress and they don't really

[6:13]understand the philosophy of life their happiness may be impacted but you

[6:17]don't need millions of dollars to be happy if you're making $60,000

[6:24]a year according to statistics and surveys you are actually in the

[6:29]peak of happiness now I'll share with you this interesting study that

[6:33]was conducted by Purdue University you know what they discover it they

[6:37]discovered on average if you're making more than ninety five thousand a

[6:42]year the more you make more than $90,000 the less happy you

[6:47]are these are official statistics my dear brothers and sisters which tells

[6:51]us there's a correlation between the amount of wealth that you have

[6:55]on average I'm sure you can find someone who's making a million

[6:58]dollars who's super happy I'm not saying that but on average those

[7:04]who are making more than 100 grand a year these people are

[7:06]not as happy and the more they make the less the satisfaction

[7:11]they have with their lives what does this indicate to us why

[7:16]is this the case my dear brothers and sisters in fact we

[7:24]have a researcher from Harvard Business School his name is Michael Norton

[7:29]he said I did a study of 2000 millionaires 2,000 people who

[7:36]are millionaires and I asked them how much money do you need

[7:43]to feel fully happy all of them said we need two or

[7:46]three times the amount of money that we currently have the guy

[7:50]who had three million dollars he said I need nine million to

[7:53]really be happy the guy who had nine million he said I

[7:58]need 27 million to be happy the guy who had 30 million

[8:00]he said I need 90 million you see the idea here generally

[8:07]speaking they were not satisfied they had this illusion in their minds

[8:10]that I need triple the wealth that I have to feel happy

[8:13]this is conducted by a researcher at Harvard Business School these are

[8:17]official statistics so what is it that they're missing my dear brothers

[8:24]and sisters how come this amount of wealth is not guaranteeing happiness

[8:28]for them what's the problem here what's lacking in their lives wealth

[8:34]cannot guarantee happiness for you your career cannot guarantee happiness for you

[8:40]but there is one thing that can guarantee happiness for you imam

[8:45]ali IBN ABI talib adi salam was once asked about this holy

[8:53]verse Manami la sala han min the Kuran our own tower who

[8:57]are minun fella no fee n-no hayatun tayyiba Allah Spano tada and

[9:01]this holy verse says Allah will give you a pleasant life a

[9:05]life in which you feel fulfilled happy satisfied in my Mariani Salam

[9:08]was asked how what is it that God will give you to

[9:13]feel that satisfaction Imam Ali I named Saddam in this beautiful hadith

[9:19]he says one word Elkanah satisfaction contentment you want to be satisfied

[9:27]you want to be happy be content with your life be content

[9:31]with what Allah subhana WA Ta'ala has given you that guarantees you

[9:35]will be happy regardless of your circumstances regardless of your situation if

[9:41]you have contentment you're happy with your life according to one hadith

[9:46]once Allah subhana WA Ta'ala revealed to prophet Dawood alehissalaam Allah Azza

[9:53]WA JAL Elijah Wood what ah - Lin - kana wahoo me

[9:59]at Laguna ha fika threatened my life allow you to do ha

[10:06]alas planet Allah tells prophet Dawood I have placed richness in contentment

[10:12]and people are trying to find richness and wealth and a lot

[10:16]of money they will never find it this is a promise from

[10:19]allah subhanaw taala allah says if you are seeking satisfaction richness happiness

[10:27]you will not find it through money you will find it only

[10:31]through contentment and hence we have beautiful narrations that tell us the

[10:36]best treasure is contentment the richest treasure is contentment the biggest kingdom

[10:44]is contentment you want to be a king you can be content

[10:50]kapha built on our team Wilkin as one hadith states you can

[10:52]be a king a royal king if you simply have contentment you'll

[10:59]be happier than the biggest King through Canara through contentment other narrations

[11:03]beautifully described to us that the best way to achieve relief in

[11:07]your and protect yourself from the stress and depression is to be

[11:13]content one hadith from an amendment for sane Hani Salaam states Alton

[11:18]ah achoo raha to lab done you want your body to relax

[11:26]to protect yourself from stress be content in another hadith Imam Ali

[11:30]Salaam states mint Anya let me after let me at em if

[11:36]you have contentment you will not feel so depressed therefore this infinite

[11:40]treasure that can take you to the path of happiness is none

[11:47]other than kana none other than contentment my dear brothers and sisters

[11:52]now the question is how do we develop contentment how do we

[11:55]understand what contentment is does it mean that said I stop trying

[12:00]I don't pursue a career I don't try to get wealth in

[12:05]my life no that's not the meaning of contentment let me share

[12:11]with you some practical ways to develop contentment my dear brothers and

[12:18]sisters one way is to think of the blessings Allah has given

[12:20]you and to actually write them psychologists one beautiful word of advice

[12:25]that they give is take out a piece of paper and actually

[12:31]actually write down what you have what do you have in your

[12:35]life you have health you have a home you have access to

[12:41]education you have a shelter you have parents you have family you

[12:43]have friends what is it that you have list them on a

[12:48]piece of paper reflecting on these blessings will remind you that okay

[12:52]there are a lot of things you may not have that's true

[12:54]however you can manage your life through what Allah subhana Allah has

[13:05]given you simply reminding yourself of the blessings God has given you

[13:11]will go a long way in making your heart happy over time

[13:14]you develop the habit to be happy and content with what you

[13:18]have but you have to list these blessings sometimes months go by

[13:22]my dear brothers and we don't do with this exercise we don't

[13:24]actually sit down and see what blessings that we have you have

[13:30]freedom throughout history especially the followers of an inmate they did not

[13:35]have the freedom they were persecuted today you can gather in a

[13:39]community center worship allah subhana wa ta'ala together have a flock together

[13:42]that's a blessing millions of people don't have around the world be

[13:45]thankful to allah subhanaw taala how many times do actually go through

[13:49]this list and show gratitude to the Almighty God that's number one

[13:55]to develop contentment the first practical step the second practical step my

[14:00]dear brothers and sisters is to remind yourself that if I have

[14:07]more wealth what makes me think that I will be a happier

[14:10]person in fact if you study the life of billionaires I want

[14:15]you to go tonight if you have time research the life of

[14:18]billionaires just punch in these key words happiness billionaires and you'll see

[14:24]the articles on Forbes magazine Forbes which usually talks about the rich

[14:27]right and it gives you their statistics it tells you that billionaires

[14:32]are much more miserable than you think they are there are certain

[14:38]struggles that millionaires and billionaires struggle with on average number one they

[14:44]have this sense of jealousy and competition once you have a billion

[14:49]dollars you're in the League of the billionaires now you try to

[14:55]compare yourself to other billionaires yeah but that billion IRR has ten

[14:59]billion you feel this feeling of jealousy in your heart and you're

[15:03]not satisfied with what you have that's number one number two you

[15:08]always worry about losing that wealth one of the common causes of

[15:13]strength of stress amongst millionaires and billionaires and that they're always worrying

[15:19]that they will lose that money they're constantly worried about that how

[15:24]do I save it how do I not lose it that's an

[15:27]added stress I remember I heard from one of my friends he

[15:32]says in one of one country I won't mention you the name

[15:34]of that country he says the was a millionaire a businessman he

[15:40]had seen a person I think at a community center or someplace

[15:43]the person was kind of struggling he was kind of poor that

[15:46]millionaire or billionaire that rich person told him look let me ask

[15:51]you a question he wanted to remind him that the life that

[15:53]you have believe me is better than the life that I have

[15:57]he told him what do you have for breakfast the billionaire is

[15:59]asking the poor guy he wasn't I mean starving poor but he

[16:03]was kind of poor he was a little bit struggling let's say

[16:05]he was on the lower end of the middle class he told

[16:10]him what do you have for breakfast in the morning he said

[16:12]usually I have some bread and cheese and tea that's my breakfast

[16:18]he told him do you enjoy your breakfast he said to be

[16:20]honest yeah I mean I do look forward to it when I

[16:23]wake up in the morning I have that tea and I have

[16:27]that bread that hot bread and cheese I do enjoy it he

[16:30]told him let me tell you something for the last 20 years

[16:37]I have at least seven eight foods prepared for me special foods

[16:41]types of omelets I don't know whatever you have on the menu

[16:44]for breakfast it's prepared for me every day at 6:00 a.m.

[16:49]but the last 20 years I have not enjoyed my breakfast and

[16:55]I'll tell you why I have a lot of stocks in gold

[16:57]silver stocks businesses what-have-you now I wake up early because I have

[17:03]all these stocks all these businesses to manage I woke up at

[17:06]5:30 I prepare myself at 6:00 a.m.

[17:11]is my breakfast time at 6:00 a.m.

[17:13]I open the radio or the TV in order to hear the

[17:16]update on the stock market so as I'm having my breakfast and

[17:21]I could have seven eight types of foods in front of me

[17:24]but as I'm hearing the market update I see ok the stock

[17:30]for gold went down 10 cents in my mind I start doing

[17:33]calculations I own this much stock so I I lost today $500,000

[17:40]this stock went down I lost this much money this stock went

[17:45]up I made that much money every single day for 20 minutes

[17:49]my mind is occupied with all of this suddenly I see I

[17:51]finished my breakfast I did not enjoy it a bit I didn't

[17:55]even know what I ate he says that's my life and you

[17:59]you said you enjoy your bread and cheese you're luckier than I

[18:02]it's upon Allah look look how some of them live my dear

[18:08]brothers and sisters even though they have millions and billions but that

[18:13]constant concern takes away the real joy and happiness from their lives

[18:17]so that cannot guarantee happiness for them in fact its contentment with

[18:23]whatever you have to accept the will of Allah Spano to Anna

[18:26]that will guarantee the happiness for you interesting psychological studies have been

[18:33]done on the amount of choices that we can make you know

[18:37]sometimes you think if I live in a place where I have

[18:43]thousands of choices if I have the money to buy thousands of

[18:46]potential things I should be happier in 2000 there was an interesting

[18:50]study done by researchers and psychologists from Stanford University and Columbia they

[18:59]wanted to see the relationship between satisfaction and the number of choices

[19:04]so they did the jambs experiment if you've heard of this experiment

[19:11]they went to a local market and they basically basically put like

[19:16]a booth or a stand on one booth on one table they

[19:19]put six types of jam on another table they put twenty five

[19:27]types of jam twenty five types of jam and they invited the

[19:31]people to come and see and also buy initially that table which

[19:38]had more jam more choices of jam twenty five generated more interest

[19:44]sixty percent of people went towards that table whereas only forty percent

[19:48]of those people went to the smaller table with six types of

[19:51]jam so it generated more interest but then let's follow up and

[19:58]see what happened when it came to actually buying the jam you

[20:02]know what happened 30% of those who went to the smaller table

[20:05]with six types of Jam 30% of them ended up buying the

[20:11]jam whereas those who went to the bigger table that had 25

[20:13]types of jam 3% only ended up buying them but that it

[20:20]doesn't stop there they wanted to see how satisfied they were so

[20:23]they followed them after they took the jam and maybe a few

[20:28]days they were enjoying it in their homes they asked the first

[20:31]group how satisfied the smaller group those who went well it was

[20:35]actually the bigger group because 30% of them bought but basically those

[20:41]who took who bought the jam from a selection selection of six

[20:45]options they told them how satisfied are you with the product that

[20:49]you bought they rated their satisfaction then they went to the second

[20:52]group guess what happened with the second group those who had twenty-five

[20:57]choices to choose from a selection of twenty-five jams how did they

[21:03]rate their satisfaction to the surprise of the researchers they ended up

[21:08]rating their satisfaction much less than those who only had six to

[21:14]choose from what does this teach you my dear brothers and sisters

[21:17]more number of materialistic choices is that really going to make you

[21:22]happier and more satisfied absolutely not that is not an indication of

[21:26]happiness that is not an indication of satisfaction so the second is

[21:31]the first step is to count the blessings that you have the

[21:34]second tip is to look at others are they really satisfied not

[21:39]really there's no guarantee that if you become richer you will be

[21:44]satisfied number three my dear brothers and sisters psychologists tell us that

[21:48]we have to break the habit and before psychologists religion tells us

[21:52]by the way all this is mentioned in our hadith religion psychology

[21:56]both tell us that you need to stop the habit of acquiring

[22:03]goods and products to make yourself feel more content let's say I'm

[22:08]not satisfied with my car naturally what do I end up doing

[22:11]I start thinking ok let me get the car that will satisfy

[22:16]me I'm not satisfied with my job let me get the job

[22:19]that pays more I'm not satisfied with my house let me get

[22:23]a house that satisfies me usually we fall into this habit of

[22:26]trying to make our self satisfied through getting products we need to

[22:32]understand that no matter how much you continue this habit you will

[22:40]never actually feel fully satisfied so what we need to do we

[22:43]need to teach ourselves to actually be content with what I have

[22:48]ask yourself what is the source of dissatisfaction in your life if

[22:53]you don't feel content with your car why examine the root cause

[22:57]why don't you feel content with your car treat the root treat

[23:00]the cause then you will find contentment and happiness in your life

[23:03]what is it that's bothering you what is it that's bothering you

[23:09]if your car is functional it works okay sure there are better

[23:12]cars out there if this is the source of this satisfaction acts

[23:18]ask yourself why why am i dissatisfied about a piece of car

[23:21]why why am I here on earth in the first place my

[23:25]dear brothers and sisters too often we forget most of us do

[23:28]you know how we live in this life I'll give you an

[23:32]example let's say you have a final exam and this month in

[23:34]May is the month of exams for a lot of college students

[23:38]and high school students let's say you go to your final exam

[23:41]that will determine your career you go to your examination hall you

[23:48]have one hour to take the exam the professor comes he distributes

[23:51]the exams and then he says you have 60 minutes to take

[23:57]this exam then you see some of the students one of the

[23:59]students he pulls out its pen and he's trying to take his

[24:02]exam and he tells the one sitting next to him look at

[24:05]my pen so shiny and fancy looks wonderful his friend takes out

[24:13]another penny says no no my pen looks nicer than your pen

[24:15]and then a third one takes out a full box of pens

[24:19]he says no I've got 20 pens and they're bickering and arguing

[24:23]about who has the nicest spent when suddenly the 60 minutes are

[24:29]over now you think this is a silly example right this is

[24:33]us my brothers and sisters this is life Allah put us here

[24:37]for 60 years let's switch 60 minutes with 60 years and shall

[24:41]a 90 years for all of you here shall I 100 years

[24:46]Allah has given you 60 years and the clock is ticking and

[24:51]what are we fighting over in this life really ask yourself if

[24:54]I'm not satisfied with the materialism that I have does it really

[24:58]matter I have to leave one day I'm departing this world sooner

[25:04]or later does it really matter does it make a difference if

[25:07]I have a car that's worth thirty thousand or a car that's

[25:11]worth eighty thousand does it really make a difference if Allah has

[25:14]given you by all means buy the more expensive car and thank

[25:18]Allah for that but if you don't have that car don't feel

[25:22]dissatisfied you're not losing on anything what are you losing really tell

[25:27]me in one word what are you missing out on what are

[25:29]you missing out on if that guy who was taking his exam

[25:34]or his SAT his pen was a little bit less expensive less

[25:37]fancier does it make a difference at the end of the day

[25:41]is it going to determine the quality of his test how he

[25:45]will pass what kind of grades you will get has absolutely no

[25:48]consequence in fact the fancier the pen the more it's gonna distract

[25:52]him in that test that's what's gonna end up happening instead of

[25:55]looking at the question and thinking about it he's gonna observe his

[25:57]pen and get distracted with it and every single day my dear

[26:04]brothers and sisters we get distracted most of the things we buy

[26:08]and we work for our unnecessary things being simple in our lifestyle

[26:15]is one way to happiness my dear brothers and sisters try it

[26:19]go tonight to your room or to your house and declutter your

[26:22]room open the drawers go under the bed and the closet gather

[26:28]every item you have in your house and ask yourself what's the

[26:32]last time I touched these items once the last time believe me

[26:38]you won't remember it probably a year two years passed by and

[26:41]most of the things items accessories gadgets whatever you you probably don't

[26:45]even use them but this is what the economy does here it's

[26:48]a consumerism economy it pushes you to go to the mall even

[26:54]though you don't need anything just go over there and with their

[26:58]fancy advertisement the way they send messages to your brain a part

[27:01]of your brain like lights up and you think that you will

[27:07]get happiness instantly there but that's not how it works by the

[27:10]way one suggestion I have go to the mall if you really

[27:16]need to get something often times today going to the mall has

[27:19]become a leisure activity you call your friend hey I'm bored it's

[27:23]the weekend let's go to the mall now when you go to

[27:25]the mall you can end up spending two three hundred dollars there

[27:27]you can't resist it right you've fallen in there in that trap

[27:32]and this is an endless cycle go to the store go to

[27:36]the mall if you really need to buy something just for you

[27:39]to go and let your brain you know try to decide over

[27:44]there and the dopamine in your brain what it wants believe me

[27:46]that's not the safest way to go about this through contentment thank

[27:50]Allah Soprano to AH to strive my dear brothers and sisters strive

[27:56]work hard but appreciate what you have what you own ever determines

[28:00]how happy or it's your mindset if your mindset is in the

[28:03]proper place you will be super happy you will be content and

[28:08]Allah will give you that high atop ie be' fella no ven

[28:13]no hayatun tayyiba that wonderful good life it comes through accepting the

[28:17]will of allah subhana wa ta'ala through preparing for the Asura yes

[28:23]there are two areas Islam says never be content one seeking knowledge

[28:27]never be content don't say okay I've sought enough knowledge I have

[28:32]good education No Islam says seek knowledge from the cradle to the

[28:36]grave as long as you're alive seek knowledge that in itself will

[28:41]give you fulfillment it will satisfy your soul it will quench the

[28:44]thirst of your soul and you will always feel fulfilled number two

[28:49]spirituality acts of goodness never say okay I've donated enough I've prayed

[28:54]enough I've done this enough I've read Quran enough don't to ever

[29:00]say that always encourage yourself to do more and more that way

[29:04]you will feel satisfied my dear brothers and sisters the recipe is

[29:11]very simple the ingredient to success the formula to success is very

[29:16]simple and that comes with contentment and when you look at the

[29:19]prophets of God we find that they were at the peak of

[29:24]contentment there is one passage in Nigel Bharata whenever I reflect upon

[29:28]it it really sends a chill down your spine my dear brothers

[29:33]and sisters am am not even happy that I've been one of

[30:34]of Egypt fine believe in God stop your injustice stop claiming that

[30:40]you are God stop harassing the weak and I guarantee you that

[30:58]them they're standing before me and telling me if I want to

[31:01]stay the king I should follow their path I should believe in

[32:45]have something that no one else has like they do and that's
