Dr. al-Qarni provides inspiration for all situations in life that can cause us grief. Tragedies often make us realize that in order to be the best wife, mother and woman possible, we must take care of ourselves and those that we love, as if our lives depend on it.

From the translator, Huda Khattab:
Do you want to be happy? We are all looking for an escape from worry, stress and depression, and ways to find happiness. This book presents the route to happiness in a nutshell, drawing on Islamic teachings and the voices of “experts” both western and eastern. Sit and read it from cover to cover, or dip into it a page or two at a time in between other activities in a busy life as a wife, mother, student or worker. You are holding in your hands a treasure chest of reminders that will help you learn important lessons and set you on the path to happiness in this world and in the Hereafter, in sha’ Allah.
