Money is the source of happiness? Or stress?

Dealing with stress and depression
Muktamar SF 2014

 We are going so fast but we don't even know where are we going.

Technology is a good and beautiful thing
But chaos is manufactured in the world as well

We are no more a slave to Allah. We are slave to our job, business, not time to see our family

Org miskin lg content, org yang takde tv, yg kais pagi makan pagi, kais petang makan petang lagi content dri org yg ada kereta, rumah besar n bla bla bla.

The problem is, we are the victim of what is called debt. We use credit card. We use money we don't have for the things we couldn't afford and actually don't need

Then we happen to be stressed out. Thinking about money, how to pay the bills, the monthly payments for the house the credit card, insurance and everything else.

The husband started to depressed but dont want to talk to his wife. Now wifw is nagging about her husband and husbansds are nagging about his wife.

What a chaos world.. Now,, drug,  pills, alchohol, just more problems.

Happy? Still not.

Sad, go to the mall, happy, go to the mall,. The consume culture,

We forget that this world is not everlasting, the jannah is everlasting

This life is temporary. The life of here after is permanent.
 It is jannah that we are striving toward. The prophet of Allah were suffering in this striving. They didnt give up though.. They keep continue.

Debt free muslims. 
- dont buy what we don't need.
Halal rizk, be content with your rizk, 
Financial independence. 
Mortgages, payments, that are killing us, killing human beings

If i lose my job tomorrow, its not going anywhere

Learn to live a simple life.
And material will never bring you happiness, eternal happiness

1. Du'a- begin by asking Allah for happiness, contentment,
Book: accepted whisper. 
Dua from the quran. Sometimes we dont even know what to ask allah for.
That's why we can learn from the dua from the quran on what we should ask
What is important
- follow with consistency in deeds. It is a process.

2. Do your part. 
Dont get involve in things that will bring you to stress
We cant control the chaos in the other part of the world. But we can control the the chaos in our home, in our town

3. Be a human being
Have care and concern to other human being, not just muslims.
Dont create chaos with non muslims
Get connected

4. Leave this life five times a day
- make the prayer meaningful.
Build your life around the prayer, not your prayer around your life
- mean what you recite. Do it with heart

5. Patient
Patient yet continue to strive
Make life better. Strive toward that
Come on, put faith that Allah is powerful to make it happen
Dont stress out
We worship Allah because we need him, not because he need us. 

Believe in the day of judgement. 
Know that life is temporary. We will escape eternally
Every struggle we went through 

Go visit the janazah
Remember that this hardship will end and the entertainment will end as well

The dhikir of Allah, dont forget.
Very inportant
Put your trust in Allah

Begin with remeberance of Allah
And end with the remembrance of Allah

Be thankful of Allah
Focus on what we have not that what we do not have. 
Dont get in to keeping us with the jones
Live your own life

Friends are the one we count on
