CONTENTMENT

Enjoy the Gujarati song that has resonated with me and has life lesson https://youtu.be/3uY4YA4Tu2Y?si=qrz6PKaiTDd9ncyn Contentment and shukr (gratitude) are profound spiritual states that invite us to em-brace the fullness of life as it is the isness of existence. True contentment arises not from having everything we desire but from appreciating what we have and recognising that life's unfolding, with its joys and challenges, is part of Divine wisdom. Shukr is the practice of acknowledging and giving thanks for Divine blessings, transforming the heart into a vessel of peace. When we accept life's realities without resisting or lamenting, we cultivate inner har-mony. This acceptance is not passive resignation but an active surrender to Divine de-cree, knowing that every moment holds purpose. The essence of contentment lies in living with awareness of the present moment, finding joy in simple blessings, and trusting in the Divine plan. It teaches us to release the burdens of endless desire and comparison, opening the door to happiness rooted in spiritual fulfillment rather than external circumstances. In this light, the Gujarati song celebrates this spirit by encouraging hearts to accept life's flow with gratitude and happiness. It is a reminder that embracing contentment and shukr invites a rich, joyful existence of a life lived fully in harmony with Allah's will and the reality before us. http://www.hikmaah.com
