Three Signs of Happiness
📄 A happy person is a person who whenever a favor is added to him, then he faces the favor with good deeds.
🔹 Imam Ibnul Qayyim, may God have mercy on him, said,
1⃣ "If Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gives him pleasure, he is grateful.
2⃣ If he is given a test, he is patient.
3⃣ If he commits a sin, he asks for forgiveness.
✔️ These three things (gratitude, patience, and forgiveness) are a sign of a servant's happiness and a sign of his success in this world and in the hereafter. A servant cannot be separated from him forever. He is constantly going back and forth between these three levels.”
