their choice of good and bad deeds, and consequently there is no compulsion or restriction practiced on a person in this regard.

Anwar: This is an excellent scholarly elaboration.

Hasan: I will end this discussion with a Hadith from Amir Al-Mu’menin (PBUH) in which he illustrates the fact that happiness and unhappiness are as a result of man’s actions and that no one is forced to become happy or unhappy:

“The truth of happiness is that one ends his work with happiness and the truth of unhappiness is that one ends his work with unhappiness”.

This clarifies that everyone has his own choice for being described with either happiness or unhappiness.
