Here is one suggested dua for happiness:
Allaahumma innee ‘abduka, ibnu ‘abdika, ibnu amatika, naasiyatee biyadika, maadhin fiyya hukmuka, ‘adlun fiyya qadhaa’uka, as’aluka bikulli ismin huwa laka, sammayta bihi nafsaka, aw anzaltahu fee kitaabika, aw ‘allamtahu ahadan min khalqika, awista’ tharta bihi fee ‘ilmil-ghaybi ‘indaka, an taj’alal-Qur’aana rabee ‘aqalbee, wanoora Sadree, wajalaa’a Huznee, wa thahaaba hammee.
“O Allah, I am Your slave and the son of Your male slave and the son of your female slave. My forehead is in Your Hand (i.e. you have control over me). Your Judgment upon me is assured and Your Decree concerning me is just. I ask You by every Name that You have named Yourself with, revealed in Your Book , taught any one of Your creation or kept unto Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen that is with You, to make the Qur’an the spring of my heart, and the light of my chest, the banisher of my sadness and the reliever of my distress.”
(Reference: Ahmad 1/391, and Al-Albani graded it authentic)
If I may say this in English. This was sent to me by my son and I enjoyed reading the Duas. I will incorporate them in my daily prayers. Thank you for your inspiring works and words
