Muslim governments have betrayed our brothers and sisters in G4ZA, standing by as the merciless slaughter unfolds before their eyes. No current nation-state will defend G4ZA—only a true Khilafah, like that of the Khulafah Rashideen, can bring justice. Spread this message to every Muslim It is time to unite the Ummah, establish Allah's swth's deen through Khilafah and revive the Ummah!
I recently watched a documentary called “Happy” about what brings people happiness and joy. The documentary interviewed many psychologists, neurologists, and other “happiness experts” as well as surveyed many different cultures around the world (but notably did not include a single Muslim nation or culture). The 1.5 hour long documentary had just 10 seconds on the fact that religion brings “some” people happiness and it included 30 seconds on how religion actually is a source of much pain and suffering in the world.
Ultimately, the documentary concludes that happiness is about being charitable, serving others, being grateful, being content, pursuing meaning, connecting with family and neighbors, not overvaluing money and material possessions, meditating and spending time on quiet reflection, and spending time in nature.
I thought to myself, all these things have analogs in Islam and organized religion generally. Do people not make that connection? If happiness is the goal and these are the factors that are conducive to happiness, then organized religion and especially Islam, which harmonizes these factors and brings them to their perfect expression in the Sunnah, is the clear answer for how people should lead their lives.
The only cost for that happiness is believing in Allah, and so even hedonistic modernity will sacrifice happiness to avoid submitting to a higher authority, preferring instead to define happiness in terms of an assortment of hollow truisms that may capture the form but miss the essence and source of true happiness.
