๐ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
๐️ Three things which are common among individuals who are actually unhappy despite pretending to be cheerful, being popular on social media, cracking jokes frequently or living luxurious lifestyles:
1] Instead of living to please our Creator Allah the Almighty, people who are unhappy from within strive to satisfy Allah's slaves. Constantly being a people-pleaser is one of the shortcuts to depression.
➡️ TikTokers and YouTubers who eagerly compete with others to gain more likes, followers and views may not be truly contented from inside.
2] Wasting most of one's lifetime nosily and jealously spying on others' lives, watching vlogs of strangers who can't inspire them to become better humans, or obsessively stalking accounts of users who post negative content regularly or who don't want anything to do with the nosy stalkers.
➡️ People who are actually happy on the inside focus on their own blessings and progress instead of constantly comparing themselves to others.
3] Trying to survive life without a noble purpose and aim, aimlessly browsing around social media for long periods, and carrying out acts of worship not to serve Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala sincerely but as a custom.
➡️ A lot of those who committed suicide, a major sin in Islam which we must avoid, may have taken their own lives because they lost the attachment to temporary things and people or they couldn't achieve specific goals which contradict the real reason why we human beings were created.
Don't attach yourself to Allah's servants. Stay connected to Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala Who never dies and with Allah's Mercy you'll always be grateful, at peace and contented, aspiring to remain on the right way to Jannah Paradise where we can enjoy everlasting bliss.

๐ Suhayb RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Amazing is the affair of the believer, as there is good for him in every matter. This is not the case for anyone but for the believer. If he goes through ease (or happy moments), he thanks Allah and it is good for him. If he goes through difficulty, he shows patience and it is good for him."
