((The big surprise))Finally:The only way to happiness,,To see whether happiness in love or revolution or fame or owning everything?!Prefer to know reason!!!
There is a lot a lot of people have a (Spiritual vacuum) they feel the fear, anxiety and depression …etc they not know (why and this continues for years and years) and many people believe the happiness there is When a person has Wealth or Rank and

position or Educational achievements (Academic andHonorary Degrees) or Fame (i.e., in politics, arts, sports, science,etc.)

If Come to see some examples of these people who have all the world of food and drink and children, and a major revolution Are they happy??!
Is happiness achieved in possession of wealth?!
How happy are those men and women who own business empires, wide expanses ofland and estates, large bank deposits, etc??!
Many indeed are those people who own millions or even billions but are sufferingfrom an almost permanent lack of peace of mind as a result of the fear they haveover their wealth the fear of, say, political turmoil's, market movements, wars,plunders,

theft, etc. And not only does such fear lead to sleepless nights forthese people but even tensions, mental anguish, heart attacks and deaths. Veryoften one comes across reports in the media such as the following:

* Fortunes lost and lives follow in financial market crash …..!
* A Tokyotrader shot himself after apparently losing money in the stock market..!
*Australia's richest man was rushed to hospital in serious condition, Sunday,after suffering a heart attack....!
Understanding and acceptingthat happiness has nothing to do with amassment of wealth is perhaps the mostliberating realization we can ever come to.

*****Ample materialis readily available from the lives of many people to prove our dictum "wealthis not equal to happiness".*****

DO YOU KNOW THIS PERSON (Christina Onassis)?!
Here lies another eventful story which proved beyond doubt that wealth,whatever the amount one holds, cannot by itself be the basis for the achievementof real happiness! Here is the story which for years dominated the minds ofwriters, reporters and

newsmen, as well as the pages of newspapers, books andmagazines! This is the story of Christina Onassis daughter of the famous Greektycoon, Aristotle Onassis who owned fleets of ships and aeroplanes, lakes andislands, real estates, huge bank deposits,
etc. Following the death of herfather, Christina was the only one left behind as the legal heiress to the vastresources of her father besides her late father's second wife JacquelineKennedy. The enormous liquid inheritances were to the tune of billions
ofdollars besides the immovable properties, the fleet of ships and aeroplanes,lakes and islands, real estates, large bank deposits, etc 'What an inheritancethat was! Certainly, to the judgment, reasoning, feelings and standards of mostpeople, someone
inheriting such a huge fortune should be the happiest person onearth but was this true for Christina? The answer to this question can only bearrived at after going through the following pages which briefly explain theknown course of her life.

Christina got married to anAmerican during her father's lifetime; but only a few months thereafter themarriage broke up and ended up in divorce. After the death of her father, shegot married to a Greek for the second time but their marriage lasted only

a fewmonths, if not weeks, before it was all over!

Christinastayed out of marriage for quite some time apparently looking for a happy lifeoutside the marriage bond. However, that happiness did not materialize and,after a few years had elapsed, she felt like flying to find a life of happinessunder the

marriage bond once again. This time her choice for a husband was froma completely different camp from communist Russia! To many who knew her freestyle western life, this step, indeed, became an interesting, if not perturbingor excruciating experience.
And when once asked by a pressman of this move, shehad a ready answer which was simple, short, but frank: "I am searching forhappiness".

Of course, her two previous marriages were withmen from the West; and since they both failed, she thought that she could"discover" some happiness in the East. But here too she was only trying out herluck with no guarantees. When pressmen interviewed

her for a second time herunchanged reply was: "I am searching for happiness..!"

Butwas she really happy about her marriage in Russia? Never! She hardly remainedwith the Russian for more than a year before she eventually divorced him!

Apparently, that was not the end of the marriage "dilemma".Back in Europe she decided to give it one more final try this time with a Frenchindustrialist, the fourth husband from a fourth different country in hardly aperiod of two years! What a

miserable and unsecured life it has been. It wasduring one of those occasions at a party relating to this last marriage that apressman asked her whether she was the richest woman and her frank reply went asfollows: Yes! I am the richest woman but the
unhappiest....

The marriage with the French industrialist went ahead as planned but it tookonly a few months to exist before it was all gone!

Havingfailed to achieve happiness under marriage life, Christina vowed not to marryagain and endeavored to achieve happiness "on her own". However, happiness wasimpossible for her even on her own and she spent the rest of her life in adesperate manner

full of frustrations and disappointments and of frenzy travelsbetween the world's major cities until, finally, she was found lying dead insidea hotel in Argentina. Who killed her? She committed suicide! What an unhappyending for a very, very wealthy lady!

Was her wealth able tobuy her happiness?

NEVER, INDEED!!!!!!!
Is happiness achieved in Rank And Position?!
Could real happiness be attained through the acquirement of high rank orposition in society? To many the answer is in the affirmative. This isapparently due to lack of deep insight in the nature of rank or position and theresponsibilities which they

involve. In Islam, holding any position, rank oroffice is first and foremost regarded as a trust and, therefore, constitutes anobligation, and a legal as well as moral responsibility. Therefore, those to beentrusted with such roles could only be citizens
who are possessed ofunquestionable competence, integrity and virtue. Only a righteous and competentperson can shoulder responsibility and use his position or office for publicwelfare.

Such a person would be able to dispense justicebased on moral value and promote sound administration. He would promote andenhance the well-being of his people by handling their affairs in a manner thatis in accordance with public interest. In return,

he would earn his people'sobedience, support, loyalty and cooperation. Thus, he would love doing his jobbecause ultimately he would be blessed with joy, happiness, contentment andsatisfaction.

However, any person who is entrusted withauthority over others and does not conduct his affairs on the basis of justiceand moral standards, would definitely be responsible for maladministration. Hisposition would only be a source of misery and

corruption with issues such as thefollowing:

* Loss of public confidence.
* Rift between the ruler and the ruled.
*Tension fear and insecurity of life and position on the part of the ruler. *The ruler's internal restlessness arid agonies of conscience.
* Upsurge ofenemies and oppositions from amongst the ruled.
* Ruler going to greatlengths to protect his position at times at any cost, even if that may mean theshedding of blood.
* Public revolt.
* Coups d'etat.
*Assassinations.
Hardly does a year pass by around the worldwithout closing with the news of miserable falls, overthrows and/orassassinations of unwanted rulers, kings, emperors, premiers, presidents, etc.Recent cases include the following subsections.
The Shah of Iran
The Shah of Iran who once organized aninternational ceremony to commemorate the passing of 2500 years since the birthof the "Persian state"!

But when the end came it was heavy.He was chased" out of his country by a massive public revolt and spent the restof his life "wandering" from one country to another until he eventually died amiserable death in Egypt as a result of a chronic cancer.

Ferdinand Marcos
The man who for 20 years literally "owned"the Philippines and ruled it as if it were a "family enterprise", came to aterrible end. He was "thrown" out of his country by the masses and spent severalyears thereafter in exile in various "hideouts" under

tight security for fear ofbeing murdered.

Jean Bedel Bokassa, the self-proclaimed "Emperor" of the Republic of Central Africa
Here was a man who spent for his coronationmore than his country's total gross national product. He was later toppled byhis countrymen and at present he is serving a life-imprisonment sentence.

Nicolae Ceausescu
The man dwelt in a palace built in "puregold" for a period of more than 20 years as the "Owner" of Romania! To suppressa public revolt he used tanks and artillery so that by the end of the revolution64,000 people were reported to have been killed in

the cities. He was latercaught while trying to escape out of his country and was "slaughtered" beforethe eyes of the public!

He was assassinated in public and closedthe chapter of an unpopular dynasty...
