Principles |
|
| Article 19- Human happiness | ||
| 19.1 | Human happiness | |
| One of the most universal of all wants and desires of human beings is to be "free from pain", most often expressed in the positive as the "desire for pleasure, gratification and happiness." |
||
| 19.2 | Human happiness | |
| While virtually all human beings seek happiness, happiness itself is paradoxically will always be linked to a unique and individual life that will experience pain, suffering and sadness. |
||
| Furthermore, a life of pure happiness, free from any pain represents itself a half-life, one without season, without cycle and incomplete. Such a life defies the natural laws of the universe. |
||
| Neither a nation, nor a constitution, however inspired, can architect a world of pure happiness. Yet, the quality of a nations foundation will always profoundly influence whether its citizens are generally happy, or oppressed. |
||
| 19.3 | The principle of self-love, the elimination of self-hate | |
| It is a founding principle of this Constitution to help all true believers find value and meaning in their lives, that the greatest love and the foundation of all valid virtue is to love and respect oneself. |
||
| That this constitution and by this constitution, all practices of self hate, of lack of self-respect shall be abhorred and shall never be allowed to be a practice supported by the one true Islam. |
