AUTHOR: KRISTEN OBARSKY
In 25 Keys to a Happy Life, Shaykh Ismail Kamdar presents twenty-five lessons from the Qur’an and Sunnah that lead to happiness, peace, and tranquility.
Shaykh Kamdar is a researcher at Yaqeen Institute, founder of Islamic Self Help and Izzah Academy, and a prolific author. He breaks happiness in life down to twenty-five ideas presented in twenty-five accessible chapters. This book is designed for readers who appreciate quick reads on personal development and spiritual growth.
The chapters “Keep the Details of Your Life Private” and “Mind Your Own Business” resonated with me and offered much-needed perspectives on the importance of privacy and spiritual introspection, particularly in today’s social media–driven world. Shaykh Kamdar discusses the pitfalls of oversharing and the value of focusing on one’s own life and worship. His insights are especially relevant in an age when many feel compelled to broadcast their lives online. He reminds us of the value of discretion. Of course, the book covers much more than these two topics; it is also about family life, staying focused on the hereafter, and more.
If you enjoy concise self-help books that provide practical wisdom, this book will work for you. Overall, it’s a thoughtful resource for anyone looking for quick tips for a happier and more fulfilling existence.
