Signs that Allah is happy with you

2) Regularly Reading and Studying the Quran
The Quran is the most important Book in Islam, and it is essential for every believer to read and study it. Regularly reading and studying the Quran increases our knowledge of Islam and shows our devotion to Allah.
Quranic verse 29:45 states, “Recite, [O Muhammad], what has been revealed to you of the Book and establish prayer. Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing, and the remembrance of Allah is greater. And Allah knows that which you do.”
3) Maintaining a Strong Relationship with Allah
To please Allah, we must maintain a strong relationship with Him. This can be achieved by performing obligatory prayers, seeking His forgiveness, and doing other acts of worship.
Quranic verse 2:152 states, “So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me.”
4) Being Honest, Kind, and Just to Others
Being honest, kind, and just to others is an essential part of pleasing Allah. This means treating others with respect, compassion, and fairness.
Quranic verse 16:90 states, “Indeed, Allah orders justice and good conduct and giving to relatives and forbids immorality and bad conduct and oppression. He admonishes you that perhaps you will be reminded.”
5) Following the Sunnah
The Sunnah refers to the teachings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). By following the Sunnah, we can please Allah and earn His blessings.
Quranic verse 33:21 states, “There has certainly been an excellent pattern for you in the Messenger of Allah for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Last Day and [who] remembers Allah often.”
6) Feeling Content with Allah's Decisions
To please Allah, we must feel content with His decisions. This means accepting whatever happens and trusting Allah knows what is best for us.
Quranic verse 2:216 states, “But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not.”
7) Remembering Allah in Every Aspect of Life
In Islam, the remembrance of Allah refers to keeping Allah at the forefront of one’s mind and heart, and constantly striving to maintain a connection with Him throughout all life. This can be done through various means, such as reciting His names and attributes, performing acts of worship, reflecting on His signs in nature, and living according to His guidance as laid out in the Quran and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Remembering Allah pleases Him because it demonstrates a genuine love and reverence for him, and a desire to please Him above all else. As Allah says in the Quran (13:28), “Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured.”
8) Quranic verses and Hadiths that support the importance of remembering Allah include
“O you who have believed, remember Allah with much remembrance.” Quran (33:41)
“And establish prayer. Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing, and the remembrance of Allah is greater. And Allah knows that which you do.” Quran (29:45)
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “The similitude of one who remembers his Lord and one who does not remember Him, is like that of the living and the dead.” (Bukhari)
9) Helping Others
In Islam, helping others is considered a fundamental aspect of faith and a way to fulfil one’s duty to God. This can take many forms, such as giving charity, volunteering, showing kindness to others, and standing up for justice and the rights of the oppressed.
Examples of how to help others in daily life include:
- Giving to charity, even if it is just a small amount.
- Helping someone in need, such as an elderly person or someone struggling with their grocery bags.
- Volunteering at a local charity or organization.
- Speaking up against injustice and oppression.
- Showing kindness and compassion to all those around you.
Quranic verses and Hadiths that support the importance of helping others include:
“And they give food despite love for it to the needy, the orphan, and the captive, [Saying], ‘We feed you only for the countenance of Allah. We wish not from you reward or gratitude.'” (76:8-9)
“The best among you are those who benefit others the most.” (Bukhari)
“Whoever relieves a believer’s distress, Allah will relieve his distress on the Day of Resurrection.” (Muslim)
10) Seeking Forgiveness
In Islam, seeking forgiveness means turning back to God and seeking His mercy and forgiveness for any mistakes, sins, or transgressions committed. This is done through repentance, asking for forgiveness, and resolving to avoid committing the same wrongs in the future.
Seeking forgiveness pleases Allah because it shows a genuine recognition of one’s shortcomings and a desire to improve oneself and draw closer to Him. As Allah says in the Quran (2:222), “Indeed, Allah loves those who are constantly repentant and loves those who purify themselves.”
Quranic verses and Hadiths that support the importance of seeking forgiveness include:
“And [saying], ‘Seek forgiveness of your Lord and repent to Him, [and] He will let you enjoy a good provision for a specified term and give every doer of favour his favor. But if you turn away, then indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a great Day.'” Quran (11:3)
