This is a brief message, "Thirty Reasons for Happiness," penned over two days near the Sacred House of God, the place of revelation. It distills dozens of books on the search for happiness, refined and polished without the burden of names, numbers, or extensive citations. It is an invitation to a good, safe, and tranquil life.

You are encouraged to reread it, reflect on its sentences, and commit to its guidance. It can be shared with family at home, from the pulpit in the mosque, or during sermons. Like a fragrant sprig of basil, it is light to carry and can be kept close, perhaps in a desk drawer or by your bedside. As you read, ask yourself: Has my perspective shifted? Do I feel a change in my spirit? This is the intended purpose, and success is from God alone, in Whom I trust and to Whom I turn.
