Breeze of magic
It will only be fully achieved in heaven
There is something big that all people are searching for in this life
They do many things to get it
This thing is pleasure
Since this matter is a requirement of the same nature
God has allowed mankind some forms of it
It is a form of permissible pleasure
The pleasure of eating and drinking
And the pleasure of intercourse
The pleasure of happiness in achieving what is desired
And the pleasure of wellness
The pleasure of being kind to others
The pleasure of looking at beautiful things and so on
What is noticeable in these pleasures
That a person wants to reach its completion and achieve its goal
He wants it to continue and not leave
Who among us does not like continuous pleasure and achieving his maximum goal
But can one achieve lasting pleasure and achieve its goal?
The answer is that this is an unattainable goal
A wish is not fulfilled in this house
This worldly life is not an abode of eternity and reward
It is only a crossing to the remaining abode
And an example of what is in it
Not everything is in the model or sample
Don't be fooled after long experiences
The world is tempted by its connection and it will be cut off
Dreams of sleep or fleeting shadows
The intelligent person like her will not be deceived
That is why the world has been created for hardships
So that a person does not rely on it and forget Paradise and the meeting with God Almighty
And from what the hand of trouble in this world reaches
The pleasures in it
There are three types of pleasures in this world
Before, during and after obtaining it
A person does not obtain it except after fatigue or pain in need of it
If he reaches it, it will be accompanied by some annoyances
Such as its failure to fulfill all the requirements it desires
And we have a moment of pleasure
That feeling did not last for him
Rather, he begins to get bored and want to move on to a new pleasure
This is why some people live in grief and depression
When he did not achieve everything he wanted in terms of pleasure
That's why we say
If you want peace of mind, O Muslim, in this matter
You should first
To be content with the pleasure God has destined for you
And do not look at the world until it reaches its completion
If a person continues to search for perfection in this desired thing
It is like a colt that drinks from sea water
He will only get thirstier
You have to be convinced of what is permissible
Do not look for pleasure in the forbidden
Forbidden pleasure is a bane in this world and the hereafter
If your soul longs for pleasure, but it is forbidden
So promise yourself that you will obtain a legitimate equivalent in Paradise
Al-Hasan Al-Basri, may God have mercy on him, said
The believer is surprised by something and likes it
He says, “By God, I crave you and you are what I need.”
But by God, there is no connection to you
There are no problems between you and me
Third, let religion and reason be the guide to the pleasure you seek
Religion determines for you the correct path to pleasure
The wise mind chooses the appropriate place and time for you
He may advise you to stay away from it completely
Fourthly, there is a pleasure that few people follow
Fewer of them reach their goal
This pleasure is the presence of the taste of obedience and the feeling of its sweetness and suitability
Enjoy this pleasure and you will feel comfortable
Some righteous people said
Poor people of the world
They left the world and did not taste the best of it
It was said that the best thing about it is
He said: Love of God, familiarity with Him, and longing to meet Him
And enjoy his remembrance and hall
Some knowledgeable people said:
If kings and the sons of kings knew what we were in, they would fight us for it with swords
Another said
For there is no bliss, no pleasure, no joy, no perfection
Except by knowing God, loving Him, and being reassured by His remembrance
Joy and rejoicing in his proximity and longing to meet him
This is immediate paradise
God Almighty said
Whoever does good deeds, whether male or female, and is a believer
He is a believer, so let us give him a good life
And We will give them their reward according to the best of what they did
Fifth
I am sure that realizing the full pleasure of the law is not here
Rather, there is in Paradise where nothing will trouble you
Enjoyment in Paradise is complete and not incomplete
And pure and unblemished
And permanent and uninterrupted
And quite a few
And spacious, not cramped
Unlimited variety
So prepare sincerely to achieve this
We ask God for His grace and generosity
