Happiness is just a state of mind

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan I The Sunday Guardian I January 11, 2015

Everyone wants to live in happiness. But everyone is deprived of happiness. Why? Because people's criterion of achieving happiness itself is unrealistic. They are trying to find happiness where it is not present.

Deeper analysis of this issue tells us that people are constantly trying to finish those things that, according to their belief, go against achieving happiness. However, this way of thinking is unnatural.

Purified souls enter Paradise

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan I The Sunday Guardian I January 4, 2015

Who is a deserving candidate for the eternal world of Paradise? According to the Quran, only a muzakka (20:76) person will be selected for being settled into Paradise. Muzakka means a purified soul. The muzakka person is one who prepares himself in terms of the Paradise culture, who develops his personality on the lines required for living in the society of Paradise. The qualities that are required in a muzakka per son are given in the Quran in detail.

Any journey needs adjustments

There is a saying: "The boss is always right." Another such saying is: "The customer is always right." But, this is not a matter of the customer or the boss.

Rather, it is a general principle applicable to every walk of life.

In this general sense, it is right to say: "Every other person is always right."
