HOW TO GAIN INNER PEACE? 8

INNER PEACE IS A BLESSING FROM ALLAH TA’ALAH

Inner peace and tranquility is not a synonym for the state of one’s bank account and his material wealth. It is a state of heart which can only be achieved if granted by Allah Ta’alah. There are many people who have immeasurable wealth, who have many mansions, many cars, many servants and helpers, and yet they are unable to sleep peacefully at night. They have the most expensive beds, most expensive pillows, yet they keep tossing and turning the whole night and are unable to sleep peacefully. A number of them turn to sleeping pills but these also stop working after a while. They have every possible material comfort one can think of, expensive houses, comfortable beds, air conditioning, but none of these are able to provide them a restful sleep at night. On the other hand, there is a person who is not so rich, who does not have all these stigmata of wealth, but enjoys a peaceful and refreshing sleep every night. One can decide for oneself which of these two people is enjoying true comfort. Inner peace and satisfaction are blessings from Allah Ta’alah. These material possessions are tools of comfort, but they cannot bring inner peace and comfort by themselves.
