[SIZE=4]Real happiness and peace can be found in submitting to the commands of the Creator and the Sustainer of this world. God has said in the Quran:[/SIZE]


[FONT=Simplified Arabic][SIZE=5]الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُم بِذِكْرِ اللّهِ أَلاَ بِذِكْرِ اللّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ[COLOR=blue](28)[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=5]

[SIZE=4][B][IMG]http://www.islam-guide.com/aqwas-ys.jpg[/IMG] Truly, in remembering God do hearts find rest. [IMG]http://www.islam-guide.com/aqwas-ym.jpg[/IMG][/B] (Quran, 13:28)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=4]On the other hand, the one who turns away from the Quran will have a life of hardship in this world. God has said:[/SIZE]


[FONT=Simplified Arabic][SIZE=5]وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَن ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكاً وَنَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْمَى[COLOR=blue](124[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[SIZE=4]This may explain why some people commit suicide while they enjoy the material comfort money can buy. For example, look at Cat Stevens (now Yusuf Islam), formerly a famous pop singer who used to earn sometimes more than $150,000 a night. After he converted to Islam, he found true happiness and peace, which he had not found in material success.[URL="http://www.islam-guide.com/ch2-3.htm#footnote2"][U][COLOR=#010100]2[/COLOR][/U][/URL][/SIZE]
