THE STORY 
 

ARE YOU HAPPY?

On a certain occasion, during an elegant welcoming reception for the new Director of a company, some of the wives of the other directors, who wanted to get acquainted with the new spouse, asked her with some hesitation: "Does your husband make you happy?"

The husband, who at the moment was not at her side, but was sufficiently near to hear the question, paid attention to the conversation, sitting up slightly, feeling secure, even filling his chest lightly in pride, knowing that his spouse would answer affirmatively, since she had always been there for him during their marriage. Nevertheless, to both his and the others’ surprise, she replied simply:

“No, no he doesn’t make me happy..."

The room became uncomfortably silent, as if everyone were listening to the spouse’s response. The husband was petrified. He couldn’t believe what his wife was saying, especially at such an important occasion for him. To the amazement of her husband and of everyone, she simply placed enigmatically on her head an elegant black silk scarf and continued:

"No, he doesn’t make me happy… I AM HAPPY. The fact that I am happy or not, doesn’t depend on him, but on me. I am the only person upon which my happiness depends. I make the choice to be happy in each situation and in each moment of my life. If my happiness were to depend on other people, on other things or circumstances on the face of this earth, I would be in serious trouble!

“Over my life I have learned a couple of things: I decide to be happy and the rest is a matter of 'experiences or circumstances;' like helping, and understanding, accepting, listening, consoling; and with my spouse, I have lived and practiced this many times…"

Happiness will always be found in forgiveness and in loving yourself and others. To truly love, is difficult, It is to forgive unconditionally, to live, To take the “experiences or circumstances” as they are, Facing them together and being happy with conviction. There are those who say:

"I cannot be happy because I am sick, because I have no money,
Because it’s too cold, because they insulted me,
Because someone stopped loving me,
Because someone didn’t appreciate me!”

But what you don’t know is that you can be happy even though you are sick, whether it is too hot, whether you have money or not, Whether someone has insulted you, Or someone didn’t love you, or hasn’t valued you.

BEING HAPPY is an attitude about life and each one of us must decide!

BEING HAPPY, depends on you!

 
SUNNAH, (PRACTISES OF MUHAMMAD Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam)
 

Aisha radiyallahu anha relates that the speech of Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam was not quick and continuous as that of yours. He spoke clearly, word for word. A person sitting in his company remembered what he said. [TIRMIZI]

Commentary: The speech of Sayyidina Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam was not of an abridged nature or was it fast, that nothing could be understood. He spoke calmly and clearly, word for word. A person sitting by him remembered what he said.

HEALTH TIPs
 
Laugh for five minutes in the mirror each morning. Laughter activates many beneficial chemicals within the body that place us into a very joyous state. Laughter also returns the body to a state of balance. Laughter therapy has been regularly used to heal persons with varied ailments and is a wonderful tonic for life's ills. While the average 4 year old laughs 500 times a day, the average adult is lucky to laugh 15 times a day. Revitalize the habit of laughter, it will put far more living into your life.

"'n Afrikaanse Moslem Webtuiste en 'n Blog gerig op die Afrikaanssprekende Christen deur S'aad Bekker:

"Ons voel mos nie almal altyd dieselfde nie, is dit nie? Partymaal voel jy goed en ek dalk bietjie af, soos Allah wil, en partymaal voel hy sommer springlewendig dan is ons twee weer bietjie mismoedig. Daarom het ek al die Dagstukkies wat ons nou al uitgestuur het saam op een bladsy gesit, juis vir jou gerief. As ek dus 'n Dagstukkie uitstuur en jy voel dis nou nie vandag vir jou bedoel nie, dan kan jy sommer maklik vir jouself al die Dagstukkie-opskrifte gaan deurkyk totdat jy een vind wat jou hart aanraak.

Of as iets gebeur wat jou so bietjie van balans af gooi: besoek die Dagstukkies! Jy weet nooit, dalk wil Allah jou juis deur 'n besondere Dagstukkie bemoedig..." (Dagstukkies na behoefte)

 
THE SMILE
 
When Paul was working as a salesman at a supermarket, he noticed that before choosing a melon, shoppers would hold the fruit upto their ears and knock on it. He never knew what they expected to hear. One day he asked a shopper. "Son," the man replied, "I've been doing this for forty years. All I know is that if you just pick up a melon and put it your bag, everybody looks at you as if you’re crazy."
