Good life

The Almighty says:
“We will certainly bestow a good life on the believing men and women who acted righteously and reward them for the best of what they did.” (16:97)

The question arises, what kind of life is good?

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, may Allah have mercy on him, said:
“Some people believe that the concept of a “ good life ” is the absence of disasters in the form of poverty, illness and sadness, but this is not entirely true.

On the contrary, a “good life” is when a person has a good heart, a spacious soul, and is calm about what Allah has ordained for him.

If a person experiences joy, then he shows gratitude, and this becomes a blessing for him; and if trouble befalls him, then he shows patience, and this also becomes good for him.

This is the “good life” – peace of heart.
But as for numerous property and health in the body, on the contrary, this can result in misfortune and difficulties for a person.”
