Keeping this in mind, let’s talk about the seven key behavior of our Muslim brothers and sisters who stay a gratified and satisfying life:

Indeed, having complete belief in Allah and staying away from the disbelievers is an excellent manner to maintain yourself from giving in to evil temptations that ultimately cause guilt and discomfort.

وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ تُعْجِبُكَ أَجْسَامُهُمْ ۖ وَإِن يَقُولُوا۟ تَسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِهِمْ ۖ كَأَنَّهُمْ خُشُبٌ مُّسَنَّدَةٌ ۖ يَحْسَبُونَ كُلَّ صَيْحَةٍ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ هُمُ ٱلْعَدُوُّ فَٱحْذَرْهُمْ ۚ قَـٰتَلَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ۖ أَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ

It is true that happiness comes from inner peace, not from materialistic possessions and goods. This is why Islam forbids luxury and the pursuit of materialistic obsessions.

Our Prophet Muhammad said: “Wealth is not having many possessions, but rather (actually) wealth is a feeling of abundance in the soul.” Sahih al-Bukhari 6446

Indeed, as you try to get closer to Allah, He draws closer to you, showering you with His love and blessings.

ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُم بِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ أَلَا بِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ ٱلْقُلُوبُ

Meaning: Those who believed and their hearts were reassured by the remembrance of Allah. Without a doubt, by the remembrance of Allah, the heart is assured. 

Being grateful to Allah for what you have helps you to see your problems in a completely different light. It allows you to focus on the positives of a situation so that you can function at your best in any situation.

وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَئِن شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ ۖ وَلَئِن كَفَرْتُمْ إِنَّ عَذَابِى لَشَدِيدٌ

Meaning: And [remember] when your Lord declared, ‘If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [support]; but if you refuse, indeed my punishment is very heavy.’

In the end, Allah not only loves that you turn to Him with humility, but it is also clear in the Quran:

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى صَلَاتِهِمْ خَـٰشِعُونَ

Meaning: Those believers who are humble in their prayers are truly successful. Surah Al-Mu’minun: 1-2
