1. Contentment finishes the love of the world from the heart whereas the one who follows desires continues to become trapped in the love of the world and considers the world to be everything which is a poison for religion.

2. The one who is content will rely more on the Creator of means rather than the means. Like this, he becomes free from depending on others. Whereas the one who is not content relies heavily on the means and considers them to be everything, like this he places his hope in people and has expectations from them.

3. Contentment saves a person from being a follower of desires and by virtue of this, life passes in peace and satisfaction whereas stress and depression is caused by following desires.

4. The biggest benefit of being content is that the pleasure of Allah Almighty and His Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is attained. The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: Glad tidings are for the one who gains the guidance of Islam and his sustenance is according to his need and he is content upon it. (Tirmizi, vol. 4 pp. 156, Hadees 2355)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                                                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers, today we are becoming very distant from contentment. Perhaps this is why the complaint of having a lack of blessings in sustenance is widespread; likewise the increasing inclination towards bribery, deceit and robbery in society is also a means of being distant from contentment. The reports of suicidal incidents resulting from being distressed due to poverty and unemployment are adorning the newspapers daily. A major cause of this repugnant situation in society is abandoning contentment. Therefore, adopt contentment; this will result in peace and comfort as well as blessings.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                                                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
