Assalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu,
I pray that this reaches you in the best of health and Eeman.
The greatest reformer in the world was the Messenger of guidance, Muhammad Sallalahu Alayhi Wasalam. Financially, he was poor; at times, he wasn�t even able to find the pit of a date with which to satisfy his hunger. Notwithstanding these difficulties, he lived a life of bliss and inner peace to an unparalleled degree, the extent of which no one knows except Allah, the Exalted.
�And removed from you your burden, which weighed down your back?� Surah Ash-Sharh � Ayahs 2-3.
�And Ever Great is the Grace of Allah unto you [O� Muhammad].� Surah An-Nisa � Ayah 113.
�Allah knows best with whom to place His Message.� Surah Al-An�am � Ayah 124.
The Prophet Sallalahu Alayhi Wasalam said in an authentic hadith:
�Sin is what affects (and lingers in) the heart and what you hate for people to find out about. And performing good deeds is what the heart and soul feel tranquil (and satisfied) with.�
Uprightness calms both conscience and soul. The Prophet said: �Performing good deeds is tranquillity while performing sins is uncertainty.�
The doer of good is always at peace and the sinner is always wary and suspicious of what goes on around him.
�They think that every cry is against them.� Surah Al-Munafiqun � Ayah 4.
The wrongdoer goes from anxiety to suspicion and then finally to paranoia.
�If one does ill he will feel suspicious, and he will believe whatever he imagines and fancies.�
The solution for anyone who seeks happiness clearly lies in doing well and avoiding evil.
�It is those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah and worship none but Him Alone) and confuse not their belief with Dhulm (wrong i.e. by Worshiping others besides Allah), for them (only) there is security and they are the guided.� Surah Al-An�Am � Ayah 82.
Being a Muslim who is spiritually healthy is better than achieving the kingdoms of Khosrau and Caesar, since your religion is what will remain with you until you settle in the gardens of Paradise. As for power and position, they are but momentary and fleeting.
�Verily! We will inherit the earth and whatsoever is therein. And to Us they all shall be returned.� Surah Maryam � Ayah 40.
Wasalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu Ahsin.

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
