Re: Philosophy of hedonism

In total agreement ... Also I have seen people go astray on the premise that Islam has brought them only hardship whereas they felt they aught to receive bounties in this world and the Hereafter on account of their obdient behaviour .... yet on closer scrutiny in Islam the devout Muslims are tested even more for their patience.
Surely to truly submit oneself i.e. be a Muslim one cannot be a hedonist ... because the premise for hedonism is 'do it for pleasure' not 'do it for Allah (SWT)'. If we happen to get pleasure it is not through any contract, rather it is just more of His Mercy. No one enters Jannah except from the Mercy of Allah (SWT) ... nothing we do can earn us that.
