TRUE INNER PEACE AND TRANQUILITY CAN ONLY COME THROUGH CONTENTEDNESS (قناعت)
The second lesson we learn from this Hadith is that there is no other way
of achieving inner peace and tranquility in this world, except through
contentment (قناعت). The only way of achieving inner peace is that a person becomes
satisfied and happy with what he has been able to earn through permissible means,
and without neglecting his other duties and obligations, and that he does not
develop greed for gathering more and more regardless of the methods. If a
person does not have contentment, then it does not matter how big a bank
balance he has, or how many houses or cars he owns, he will still be
dissatisfied and unhappy. And if he does have contentment, then he will be
happy and satisfied even in a small house and eating simple food. But some
feelings can only be understood after one experiences them, they cannot be understood
through words.
