DAILY INSPIRATION
Inner contentment, peace and happiness are not elusive myths. For most of us, however, they remain so because we do not seek answers and solace from One who created us; the One who knows us better than we know ourselves. Allah (subḥānahū wa ta‘ālā) says in the Holy Qur’ān: “Truly it is in the remembrance (zikr) of Allah that hearts find peace.” (13:28). This key, therefore is zikr (remembering Allah). When you constantly and consciously remember Him, your heart relaxes and becomes attached to the One who controls all affairs. With sincerity, persistence and time, you reach a stage where nothing compares to the sweetness of remembering, worshipping and spending time alone with Him. The roots of this happiness are deep and immovable. As it glows in your heart, nobody can take it from you. Even if you are imprisoned in the darkest dungeons, or have lost your entire family to war, your heart will remain content. It is a contentment and happiness that lies in the inner depths of your soul, and doesn’t change with the ups and downs of circumstance and life.
Mālik b. Dīnār (raḥimahullāh) said: “Seekers of pleasure find no pleasure like the remembrance of Allah.” Being attached to dhikr leads to a unique joy. Ibn al-Qayyim explains that if there was no reward for dhikr other than the joy and pleasure it brings to one’s heart, this would be enough. “By Allah, the world is only sweet with His remembrance; the Next Life is only sweet with His forgiveness; and Paradise is only sweet with seeing His Noble Face.” (Dhū al-Nūn raḥimahullāh) "Source: A Life With Allah"
