Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), “Whoever among you sees an evil action, let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then with his heart [by hating it and feeling that it is wrong] – and that is the weakest of faith” (Narrated by Muslim, 49)

عن أبي سعيد الخدري رضي الله عنه قال : سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول : ( من رأى منكم منكرا فليغيره بيده ، فإن لم يستطع فبلسانه ، فإن لم يستطع فبقلبه ، وذلك أضعف الإيمان ) رواه مسلم

MONEY can buy a bed, but not sleep; MONEY can buy you books, but not wisdom; MONEY can buy food, but not an appetite; MONEY can buy medicine, but not health; MONEY can buy finery, but not real beauty; MONEY can buy paintings, but not the artistry; MONEY can buy a house, but not a home; MONEY can buy you luxuries, but not culture; MONEY can buy companions, but not friends; MONEY can buy marriage, but not love; MONEY can buy clothes, but not a personality; MONEY can buy almost anything, but not heaven; MONEY can buy you tombstone, but not death; MONEY can buy almost everything, but not the dignity and respect of being who we are.

Meaning of Happiness in Islam: Happiness is a feeling that resides in the heart. Happiness is characterized by peace of mind, tranquility, a sense of well-being, and a relaxed disposition. Happiness comes as a result of proper behavior, both inward and outward, and is inspired by strong faith in Allah. Allah's Messenger ﷺ said: "True enrichment does not come through possessing a lot of wealth, but true enrichment is the enrichment of the soul."

Trees are mentioned in Qur'an:
'Have you not considered how Allah presents an example, [making] a good word like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches [high] in the sky?' Qur'an, (14:24)

الَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ ضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلاً كَلِمَةً طَيِّبَةً كَشَجَرَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ أَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌ وَفَرْعُهَا فِي السَّمَاءِ

(24 سورة إبراهيم،)

'It is He who sends down rain from the sky; from it is drink and from it is foliage in which you pasture [animals].' Qur'an, (16:10)

(هُوَ الَّذِي أَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاء مَاء لَّكُم مِّنْهُ شَرَابٌ وَمِنْهُ شَجَرٌ فِيهِ تُسِيمُون (سورة النحل 10

'And if whatever trees upon the earth were pens and the sea [was ink], replenished thereafter by seven [more] seas, the words of Allah would not be exhausted. Indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.' Qur'an, (31:27)

وَلَوْ أَنَّمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ أَقْلَامٌ وَالْبَحْرُ يَمُدُّهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ سَبْعَةُ أَبْحُرٍ مَا نَفِدَتْ كَلِمَاتُ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ

(27 سورة لقمان)

'[It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite.' Qur'an, (36:80)

الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِنْ الشَّجَرِ الأَخْضَرِ نَارًا فَإِذَا أَنْتُمْ مِنْهُ تُوقِدُونَ

(80 سورة يس)
