Ridha (or Raza) is an Arabic word meaning contentment. It is an Islamic concept rooted in the Qur'an and the practices of its founder Muhammad.[1]. This idea of contentment is expressed in in two Qur'anic verses which discuss the contentment of God (Arabic Allah) with believers and, conversely, of believers with God:
- The true believers (mu'minin) are pleased with God. [citation needed]
From the biography of Muhammad:
- He who is satisfied with God gets real taste of iman.[citation needed]
Muslims believe that God's pleasure with the servant is expressed through his gifts both material and spiritual and the servant's pleasure with God is the name of his obedience to God's commands and submission to his will. Ridha on the part of the human also includes his determination to accept God's decree irrespective of whether it is favourable or unfavourable.[citation needed]
