Does happiness comes through money?

It is an important question to think about in this materialistic world. Where most of us think that we lead a happy life if we become rich. Some are trying to become famous.
In this blog I am sharing stories of some actors and a businessman who had all such things which everyone of us want but they ended their life on their own.

1. Mya Lecia Naylor was born on
November 6, 2002 Waraickshine. She was a british child actress best know for her roles on TV shows "Millie Inbetween" and "Almost never". She committed suicide on April 7,2019 at the age of 16 by hanging herself. Her father told that she had been feeling very stressed in the days prior to her death. She became famous at very young age but ended her life at her own.

2. Bollywood actor Sushant singh Rajput committed suicide at the age of 34. He found dead at his residence. He started his career as a Television actor and got famous from a Serial Pavitar Ristaa. He did many brilliant movies like pk, MS Dhoni, The untold story and most recently Chhichhore. He committed suicide at the peak of his career.

3. Long Island resident and computer software high flyer ReiJane Huai killed himself in September 2011. The former President and CEO FalconStar, data storage company, had resigned suddenly in 2010 following a law suit filled against him. The millionaire committed suicide on the front of $2.5 million his wife ShuWen. Huai was Taiwanese born. He traveled to USA for study in 1984. He had several adult children living in USA. He was described as a "visionary and leader" by a FalconStar spokesman.

These three persons had money and also were famous but they committed suicide.

Why???

Are they not able to buy happiness with money?

Although money is important to meet our basic needs. When a person earn money it gives him happiness but it is short term happiness. Actual happiness comes with inner peace which comes with "Contentment".

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:
"Wealth is not in having vast riches, it is in contentment".

Contentment is Thanks to Allah for what you have. You can’t buy contentment it’s an attitude which comes by focusing on the things you have and be grateful to Allah. If you have a house thanks to Allah because there are people in this world who wish to have it. If you are able to see the beauty of this world , you are able to hear melodious voices be grateful to Allah because there are some people who wish to see and hear.

Allah says in Quran:
"So hold that which I have given you and be of the grateful".

I have a lot to be thankful for. I am healthy, happy and I am loved.
