Key to the House of Happiness

Author's name: Imam Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyya

In his book, the author addresses the concepts of will and knowledge, making them the key to all that is beneficial in life and a tool that unlocks the door to happiness, reveals the magnificence of the Creator and the wonder of His creation, and guides one to the path of truth and goodness. Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya elaborates on the happiness found in knowledge and will, the wisdom behind the creation of humankind, the universe, the planets, the stars, the heavens, and the earth, and humanity's need for divine law. He also discusses optimism, pessimism, superstition, contagion, and their various forms, clarifying the correct rulings on these matters from the Holy Quran and the Prophetic Sunnah. He refutes the claims of astrologers and exposes the fallacies of those who rely on astrology to claim knowledge of the unseen.
