To make Allah happy, focus on sincere worship (Salah, Dhikr, Quran), constant repentance (Istighfar), showing gratitude, and embodying excellent character by being kind, helping others, and living a life of purity (Halal) while trusting in His plan and seeking His pleasure in all actions, even small ones, according to Quran and Hadith.
Here's a list of 7 things that make Allah swt happy:
The Person Who Forms a Row in Congregational Salah
The first act that brings a smile to Allah is when people come together to form a row in Salah (prayer).
Wanting to please Allah, remembering Him, especially trying to leave sinning is itself a sign that Allah is pleased with you. Still don't ever give up, try to be better and keep that connection you have with Allah. Know that He's the One who guides and forgives.
Dua for happiness
O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the decline of Your blessings, the passing of safety, the sudden onset of Your punishment and from all that displeases you. Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min zawali ni'matika, wa tahawwuli 'afiyatika, wa fuja'ati niqmatika, wa jami'i sakhatika.
To get your dua (supplication) accepted, focus on sincerity, perfect your etiquette (praise Allah, send blessings on the Prophet), have firm yaqeen (certainty) in His response, perform good deeds (like charity), repent for sins, and make dua at key times (like after prayers or during hardship) with humility and focus, understanding Allah responds in the best way, even if not instantly as you expect.
Repentance, purity, God-consciousness, goodness, trust, justice, and patience are pathways to His love. And whoever Allah loves will be honored in this life with acceptance and in the Hereafter with eternal success.
Pride: Pride is considered to be the greatest of all sins. Pride can be directed against God, the prophets, or against other people.
Here are some signs that indicate Allah has accepted and forgiven a person:
In Islam, the raised index finger (al-musabbiḥa) symbolizes the core concept of Tawhid, the indivisible oneness of God (Allah) and the declaration of faith (Shahada), affirming there is no god but God. Muslims use this gesture during prayer (Salah) and sometimes when saying the declaration of faith, pointing to the singular nature of God, signifying faith, unity, and praise.
Seeking forgiveness is usually done by saying “Astaghfirullah” or the longer version “Astaghfirullāha rabbī wa-atūbu ilayhi)”. As a beloved Sunnah, the Prophet (PBUH) would say 'Astaghfirullah' more than 100 times daily, and this simple but powerful du'a is one of the best du'as for forgiveness.
The Quran also mentions Abraham as one whom God took as a friend (Khalil), hence Abraham's title in Islam, Khalil-Allah (Friend of God).
God May Be Calling You to Intercession
Midnight to 3AM is the third watch. From 3AM to 6AM is the fourth. It was during this time that Jesus prayed and even walked on the water toward His disciples. Many believers sense that these hours carry heavy spiritual activity.
For Muslims, it's recommended to use the emoji 🙏 that features hands raised in supplication (du'ā) instead. This small difference reflects important religious distinctions. 2️⃣ **Pregnant Man Emoji 🫃** This emoji represents a concept that goes against Islamic teachings, as men cannot be pregnant.
The "777 Rule in Islam" primarily refers to a parenting philosophy based on dividing a child's upbringing into three seven-year stages: 0-7 years (play, love, bonding); 7-14 years (teaching, discipline, character building); and 14-21 years (mentorship, guidance, treating them as friends/companions). This framework, rooted in prophetic guidance, emphasizes intentional connection and age-appropriate engagement to raise balanced, resilient Muslim children, contrasting with a simpler "7-minute rule" for daily connection.
Forbidden prayer times
As mentioned, Muslims are banned from praying during 3 main times: sunrise, sunset, and Zawwal. The prostration of recitation (sajda al tilawa) is permissible to be offered during these times though it is disliked (tanzihan).
If it's a punishment, you will stray away from Deen and do things that displease Allah. If it's a test to raise your status, you will leave the dunya and fall in SAJOOD🏵🏵 If it feels completely unbearable and you think it is actually punishment, than it is truly a punishment.
Despair not of the MERCY of ALLAH your LORD, indeed ALLAH forgives ALL SINS. Truly, HE is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Quran 39:53).
We feel anew God's love for us as His children—and our Savior's love for us.” When we feel God's love as we repent, we can know that we have been forgiven and that our Heavenly Father wants us to stay close by His side.
Therefore, Allah loves those who do good to people and whoever helps the needy, cares for the sick, provides food for the hungry, reconciles people, discovers new medicines, builds a school or establishes an orphanage to look after children without parents.
While Islam identifies numerous major sins, the three consistently highlighted as paramount are Shirk (associating partners with Allah), unjust murder, and disrespecting/being undutiful to parents, with false witness also being grouped with these top sins in some traditions. Shirk is considered the gravest, as Allah states He will not forgive it, though He forgives other sins for whomever He wills.
In the Quran Allah says “Surely, Allah does not forgive that a partner is ascribed to Him, and He forgives anything short of that for whomsoever He wills. Whoever ascribes a partner to Allah commits a terrible sin.” Al-Nisaa, 48.
Allah loves those who seek His forgiveness and repent to Him. He loves those who strive in obedience to Him by following His laws and commands. Through His love, he comforts the believers during tests and trials. In times of need, we know He will comfort us if we sincerely ask Him.
'The foundation and basis of this numeric system is the number 7, one of the most significant numbers in the Noble Qur'an1 (if not the most significant), and a hint, perhaps, that the Creator of the seven heavens is indeed the One Who sent down this Book, preserving it from distortion..'
