Assalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu,
I pray that this reaches you in the best of health and Eeman.
Happiness, if it is of the true kind, must be perpetual in its presence and complete in its magnitude. In terms of always being present, I mean that it should never be interrupted by worry and that it should exist for one, both in this world and in the Hereafter. Its completeness is realized when it is neither spoiled nor diminished by troubles or worries.
An-Numaan ibn al-Mundhir, who was king of Iraq, sat under a tree to relax and to drink alcohol. He called Adee ibn Zayd, a wise man, to come and advise him. Adee said, O King, do you know what this tree says? The king said, No, what does it say. Adee replied:
Many people sought rest around me, to drink wine mixed with pure water, soon after, time began to play with them (i.e. some harm befell them), and time is such: always changing from one state to another.
Being tormented by the eventuality described to him, the king became embittered; he quit drinking and he remained miserable until he died.
As the Shah of Iran celebrated the passing of two thousand five hundred years since the establishment of the Persian Empire, he began to make plans for expanding the scope of his power to lands outside of his reign. Then, in the blink of an eye, he was toppled from power:
You give the kingdom to whom You will, and You take the kingdom. Surah Al-Imran Ayah 26.
Chased from his castle and his world, he died in exile as a poor man in a far-off country. No one shed tears for him.
How many of gardens and springs have they [Pharaohs people] left. And green crops [fields etc.] and goodly places, and comforts of life wherein they used to take delight! Surah Ad-Dukhan Ayahs 25 to 27.
Wasalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu Ahsin.

O Allah, O Sufficer of the isolated and weak and Protector against terrifying affairs! Offenses have isolated me, so there is none to be my companion. I am too weak for Thy wrath and there is none to strengthen me. I have approached the terror of meeting Thee and there is none to still my fear. I beg for Your Mercy! Ameen
