Happiness isnt a destination but a journey needing certain inner qualities and a right state of mind to experience and reap. Its neither sold as a commodity nor can be bought, except through carefully crafting ones character and following a plan of action.For indeed, those who dont plan will fail to realize desired results. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, Those among us (destined to be) from people of happiness [in the Hereafter] will (find it easy to) enact deeds of people of happiness... [Sahih AlBukhari, #4948].In other words, by choosing a path reflecting attitudes of happy people one will recognize its reality and the ease and pleasantry in having good deeds done that are in themselves, characteristics of happy people.
