Abstract

As the ultimate goal of every living soul, happiness has its own place in the hearts of the seekers and in the thoughts of the researchers. Being an elusive term to be discussed for its subjective meaning, happiness utilizes many disciplines of knowledge to be defined and understood fully. The idea of this study was to elaborate on the concept so the researchers might compile it in such a systematic way as to permit anyone to gain knowledge from it and lead them to attain true happiness. For this purpose, there should be prominent figures to obtain from them their ideas on the related concept. They are Martin Seligman and Avicenna; both are, no doubt, exemplary figures and exact credible persons for this study about happiness. This work attempts to analyze and compare their ideas on happiness. Each of them has their own unique concept of happiness since both come from very different backgrounds of study and worldviews. The results show that since Seligman brings his agenda in secular scientific positive psychology, as he stated. While Seligman stops in the temporary world, Avicenna on the other hand, does not. This is because Avicenna based his notion of happiness on a philosophical-religious approach. He emphasized that it is only through the knowledge of true reality i.e. God, one may then achieve absolute and true happiness, although, the conception he conducted was less applicative.

Abstract

Muslims nowadays face at least two unfortunate realities in accordance with medicinal treatment. The first reality is to take any medicines available at pharmacies without any idea of the lawful-status of these medicines; halâl or harâm. Despite of the well-known brands and merits, there are quite serious contra-indications found within those medicines.  The second reality is the Islamic -which are so called by alternative- medicines which, recently popular, yet mis-produced by some individuals to gain more profits. The outcome of this action made the price of these alternative medicines even higher. Thus, it is needed to find a solution  that could overcome these conditions.  That is the vision of reality and truth as a Muslim (Islamic worldview) toward healing as the problem solving. The characteristics of this Islamic worldview in accordance to this matter is the awareness as Muslim about the lawful status of medicines available,  a consciousness as a producers of these medicines to help others based on Islamic spirit as well as to socialize  ath-Thîb an-Nabawiy and finally the ultimate understanding that it is Allah SWT who gives health (asy-syifâ`)since He is ‘Asy-Syâfî’.
