The Three Foundations of Bliss/Happiness - Ibnul-Qayyim



THE THREE FOUNDATIONS OF BLISS

The Foundations upon which true bliss is built upon are three, and every one of these three has an opposite.Whoever loses one of these foundations, he falls into its opposite.

1 AT-TAHWĪD and its opposite is ASH-SHIRK

      2 AS-SUNNAH and its opposite is AL-BID’AH

           3 AT-TĀ’AH and its opposite is AL-MA’SIYAH
                      (obedience)                                       (disobedience)                  

And each one of these three share one opposite:
the heart being void of desiring Allāh and that which is with Him (reward and Paradise), and void of fearing Him and that which is with Him (punishment and the Fire).

AL-FAWĀID OF IBNUL-QAYYIM, PG. 200.
