wht do u do when u r really happy :)

yupsss. i feel very happy when ALlah bless me with many happinesses at a time. i thanks Him. but dont knw think in that way too. that if Allah would again become angry with me then i will be again sad.
 
I make dua and try to find some way to share the happy (smile at someone, yield in traffic, write a nice letter, give a little sadaqa).
 
I like this quote about happiness

"Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you. But if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder." Thoreau

Nathaniel Hawthorne also wrote something similar to that effect. Same generation...

Reminded me of this;

"If you observe a really happy man, you will find him building a boat, writing a symphony, educating his son, growing double dahlias in his garden, or looking for dinosaur eggs in the Gobi Desert. He will not be searching for happiness as if it were a collar button that has rolled under a radiator"

W. Beran Wolfe [an excerpt from his book; How To Be Happy Though Human (1931)]

A Believer's heart is like a bird. One wing is Hope. The other wing is Fear. The head of the bird, is Love. (Ibn Al-Qayyim, Madarij al-Salikin)

I think what you feel is not sadness, but rather some form of fear, similar to the fear of losing a loved one. Insha'Allah you'll be rewarded for this, for it is a form of Ibadah. The key is the believer should keep some balance between the three, in order for the bird to fly smoothly towards its goal. The scholars say between hope and fear, if one should be more than the other, than let fear be the stronger when you are young, and let hope be more when you are older, i.e. near your end.

Allah swt knows best.
 
:sl:

This is a such a beautiful discussion. Masha'Allah

In Sahih Al-Bukhari it is recorded that the Messenger of Allah used to supplicate;
«اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ غَيْرَ مَكْفِيَ وَلَا مُوَدَّعٍ وَلَا مُسْتَغْنًى عَنْهُ رَبَّنَا»
(O Allah ! All praise is due to You, without being able to sufficiently thank You,
nor ever wish to be cutoff from You, nor ever feeling rich from relying on You; our Lord!)

^ subhanAllah, i love the hadith about the affair of a believer..

for the OP's question..

when happiness comes to me firstly i say Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah.. i feel that to say it once will be not enough so twice or thrice..
thn i run to my mom sisters brothers who ever is available and start talking and talking and talking, i share my happiness with every one and expect them to be happy with me.. if its an achievement i give ice cream treat or dinner to my family.
also i feel too much energy in myself and jump all around the house up and down.

when i m happy i usually do great blunders while cooking or in other house hold chores and forget some important things..
 
sometimes I think happiness I like a party once the party's over everything's back to normal. :s meaning its just there for lil while.

may Allah keep everyone happy ameen

this life is just very hard :s

i really didnt had any idea about it that it is ibadah??? i am suprised as well as happy too. u mean that when i am blessed with any happiness then having fear of losing the loved one is right thing. i am too happy to know it. could u explain it a little bit more please :) jazakALlah
 
looks like brothers aren't happy much. or don't like to talk about happiness.




u can always tell when a bros happy though - cheesy grin comes out
 
If the happy news received spontaneously : sajdah shukr (prostrating to Allah for gratitude)

If the mood is great :
- Smile a lot, laugh and giggles
- Cuddling my teddy bear
- Sing a lot :D

- Buy some foods or beverages I usually not drink, and munch 'em!


Some things you can do :
- Buy a decent food like something you would eat for yourself, but this time you give it to the needy
- Give a clothes to random needy
- Give an inexpensive stuff as a gift, i.e. plastic bracelet to your best friend with no string attached.
- Buy a small fish and feed a random cat that looks skinny.
- Hug a tree or lovingly stroke a grass and say "I love you, thank you for existing and give us oxygen"
