Synopsis

We live in a deeply troubled world. This would be apparent even to those who are only marginally familiar with the contemporary global situation. There is far too much suffering, disease, poverty and exploitation everywhere. The gap between rich and poor is widening. At another level, despite an explosion in wealth, an ever-growing number of people are suffering from depression and other mental disorders. Most people have been led to believe that happiness comes from material possessions. While all human beings need some material possessions to lead a relatively comfortable life, there is no direct correlation between happiness and material prosperity. In fact, quite the opposite is true. Research conducted some years ago showed that the richest 400 men in the US had the same level of happiness as the Masai herdsmen of Kenya. (Psychological Sciences in the Public Interest, University of Pennsylvania, July 2004). But Masai herdsmen have no running water or electricity and live in huts made of animal dung. Thus, if material prosperity could bring happiness, the people of Sweden and those of other industrially advanced societies such as the US, Canada and Denmark would not commit suicide, the ultimate form of rejection of life itself, in such large numbers. These findings may shock some, but the fact is that money cannot buy happiness; often, it brings greater unhappiness because the level of satisfaction that is experienced with increased wealth is short-lived. Soon the new level of income becomes the norm and there is renewed yearning to acquire more. Money may buy medicine, but it cannot buy you health. Income levels have increased manifold in Denmark since World War II, but the level of happiness of people has not increased. So what is the secret of a happy and spiritually contented life? The answer lies within each one of us. In this highly readable book, Unleash God-Given Power Within You, Ismail Kalla takes us through life’s journey and shows us how to live it according to the teachings of the noble Qur’an and the Sunnah and Sirah of the noble Messenger Muhammad (s) to achieve inner peace and happiness. Such insights can come only to those that have pondered over the secrets of the Qur’an with a pure and sincere heart.
