Prayer Request:
Salam,
I would like Maulana Kabbani to pray for my happiness and prosperity so that I can give the same to my family. I lost my house two years ago as it was under-water and after that I have been under depression and looking for ways to bring the happiness solely to my family.
I have met Maulana Kabbani two times before, and it was a pleasure to see him. Please pass my message to him.
Wassalam

wa `alaykum salam
Insha-Allah Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani is praying for you.
Owning a house is not a means to happiness. Don’t let it cause you depression. You might live in a shack and be happy and you might live in a palace and be unhappy. Allah says:
الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُم بِذِكْرِ اللّهِ أَلاَ بِذِكْرِ اللّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ
{alladheena amanoo wa tatma’inna qulubahum bi-dhikrillah. Alaa bi-dhikrillah tatma’in al-qulub – Those who believe, and whose hearts find satisfaction in the remembrance of Allah. for without doubt in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction. } (ar-Ra`d, 13:28)
