Siraj Wahhaj – The Happiness Solution

About this lecture

In this powerful lecture, Imam Siraj Wahhaj tackles a profound question asked by a sister in his office over a decade ago: "Do I have the right to be happy?" Drawing on Quranic verses, the life of the Prophet ﷺ, and the stories of Ibrahim and Hagar, he argues that true happiness cannot be found in wealth, relationships, or worldly pursuits — only in the knowledge of Allah's will and the hope of the Hereafter. The lecture challenges Muslims to reframe their outlook on hardship, loss, and the nature of this dunya.
