Quotes About Being Content and Happy With Allah’s Decrees and Bounties

“The most content of all people are those who have found their Maker and praise Him upon all conditions.

Mufti Ismail Menk

“If generous people invite you to a meal and you see the smiles on their faces and the plentiful food, you will remember them as long as you live and will do your best to repay them. You will talk to everyone you know of these hospitable people.

So what do you say of Him Who has taken charge of you and showered His bounties on you from cradle to grave? You eat only of what He has provided; you cover yourself only with the clothing He has given you; you take shelter only under His roof; and you do not escape from any hardship except with His help.

Muhammad al-Ghazali

“O Allah! If I cannot always understand Your wisdom in what You decree, please let me at least have the insight to accept it and be content with it.

Salman al-Ouda

“As I look back on my life, I realize that every time I thought I was being rejected from something good; I was actually being re-directed to something better. You must convince your heart that whatever Allah has decreed is most appropriate and most beneficial for you.

Abu Hamid al-Ghazali

“You can search the world over, but you won’t find happiness until you realize that happiness isn’t getting what you want. It’s being content with what you already have.

Yasmin Mogahed

“They asked, When is a servant of God contented? She said, ‘When he is as thankful for tribulation as he is for bliss.'

Rabi`a al-Adawiyyah

“My heart is at ease knowing that what was meant for me will never miss me, and that what misses me was never meant for me.

Imam ash-Shafi`i

“Let go of your grudges. Let the bitterness die tonight. Make a decision today that it’s time to move on. And begin again. New, this time. Never forget that what has passed you by was never meant to befall you. And what has befallen you, was never meant to pass you by. Know that sometimes Allah withholds from you, in order to give you something better. Keep your heart focused on Him, and He will take care of the rest. And remember: you will stumble, but that’s part of the path. Keep going. Keep rising, and refuse to give up.

Yasmin Mogahed

“Allah’s plan is better than your dreams.

Abdulbary Yahya

“To completely trust in God is to be like a child who knows deeply that even if he does not call for the mother, the mother is totally aware of his condition and is looking after him.

Abu Hamid al-Ghazali

“Be grateful for your life, every detail of it, and your face will come to shine like a sun, and everyone who sees it will be made glad and peaceful.

Rumi

“[Regarding hardship and calamities] The lowest level of good manners toward God is for the human to accuse his own judgment regarding what is good for him instead of accusing God's decrees.

But true good manners is for one to not have any judgment of their own at all, for there to be only God's decrees, and to accept God's decrees with obedience and submission, in a state of contentment, trust, and tranquility.

Sayyid Qutb

“Indeed I would rather bite an ember or grasp it until it cools down in my hand than say to something decreed by Allah "I wish it wasn't".

Abdullah ibn Masud

“But, for the ones who focus on Allah, the dunya comes to them, and Allah puts contentment in their hearts. Even if they have less, they feel rich, and are more willing to give from that wealth.

Yasmin Mogahed

“As long as you have a contented heart, then you and one who owns everything are equal and the same.
