Well-being

Well-being does not mean eating, drinking, merry-making and having the necessities of life because there are many who have all this and even more than this also, but life became unbearable for them. Sometimes, those who have everything, but are constantly turning over on their Dunlop just to be able to sleep a little, are jealous of the condition of those homeless destitutes who are sleeping peacefully under the bridge or on the sidewalk. Therefore, there is no well-being without moral tranquillity. And this is found only by living according to what Allah Ta’ala has chosen for us. If one has that, one has everything even if one does not have anything. But if one has everything but does not have this, it means that one does not have anything.
