If you have been alive long enough, you will hear a common phrase among people: "I have peace of mind." When someone makes such a statement, they are essentially saying, I have no worries. I am content with what I have, and its in good balance. They have no enemies. They are in harmony with their family and can enjoy their privacy without outside interference. That is peace of mind indeed, but true peace of mind and soul is contentment with the will of God, our creator whom sends to us blessings and hardships to mold and test us. To teach us about ourselves. True piece of mind is accepting whatever God sends our way and enduring it with patience and thankfulness. True peace of mind comes from belief in Allah s.w.t, for without belief there can't really be peace of mind. When we establish that connection with our creator; when we surrender to His will and realize that the greatest authority is God, it is then that we start to attain true peace of mind and soul.
I'm going to outline a plan for you on how to achieve peace of mind both with the creator and with His creation. Both can benefit us, but one is more important. One is more everlasting. One gives true happiness to us. It revives our soul and allows it to see without worries. It allows it to live with purpose. It instills goodness in it. It causes it to be good. That is only with God alone.
In order to attain peace with body and soul, one first has to accept God as the only authority. The only entity that rules everything that exists. He must accept Him as the ultimate power, the ultimate ruler and the ultimate purpose. One first has to establish a communication channel with God. They must be receptive of His commands. One must allow God to speak to His heart and accept and obey the commands it receives. And the first command is: "I am your creator, the only one, believe in me without associating any partners with me."
When we accept God as our creator, we open the door to happiness. We allow His blessings to shower us as well as allow His mercy to purify us. We let Godly light breath into our soul. Gods mercy is the most essential part of our soul. It is the source of life. We were created with a void in our heart. That void is the knowledge and presence of God. When we don't accept Him as our creator, there will always be a missing piece to the life we live. We will not have peace therefore.
After accepting God as the only authority, the supreme in might, the wise, we must accept His will. We have to accept the blessings that God sends to us, and we have to endure the hardships he sends our way. We should not mix hardships with bad. God does not send to us bad things. Often times, it is our actions that give life to bad things. What God sends to us is difficulties to enlighten us and strengthen us for the missions He has chosen for us. So accept everything that comes your way with thankfulness. Accept His will knowing that whatever comes from God is good and perfect. This is a crucial step to attaining peace of mind and soul. And know that whatever God intends for you, none can stop it from reaching you. Live a Godly life. Put aside your pride and arrogance. Ignore the worldly pursuits that you engage in excess. Ignore competing with others in attaining wealth while your soul is deprived and ignorant of its creator. Do everything with balance. Dedicate daily time for your creator by thanking Him and worshiping him as we should. "For verily, in the remembrance of God do hearts find rest (Qur'an 13:28)." Make him the center of your life. Indeed when God is your center, He makes you the center of His attention. And when you are at the center of Gods attention, greatness will surround you. You will live a fulfilling life with blessings and purpose.
Finally, work to make a living while on earth not forever on earth. Change your mentality on how you see this life and every negative experience you encounter. Understand that you are Human. You are mortal like everyone that has passed away before us. You are not perfect. Don't get depressed of failures, be happy that you attempted something and had an experience that others never get a chance for whatever reason, being health, money, intellect or other reasons. View and react to every experience that you encounter with thankfulness and contentment. Never view shortcomings as failures. View them as blessings and opportunity to live for the journey that is yet to come. View every shortcoming as God molding you for the greater journey that He has prepared for you.
