Feeling Peaceful?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

You felt peaceful in Ramadan. How about now? One of the biggest blessings, many feel far from, is to feel tranquility or Sakeenah. Now ask yourself, how much time have you spent with the Quran after Ramadan?

Al-Bara' bin 'Azib (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:

 

A man was reciting Surat Al-Kahf, and a horse was tied with two ropes beside him. As he was reciting, a cloud overshadowed him, and as it began to come nearer and nearer, the horse began to trample voilently. The man came to the Messenger of Allah صل الله عليه وسلم in the morning and mentioned the incident to him. He صل الله عليه وسل said, "That was tranquillity which descended as a result of the recitation of the Quran." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Have a no-excuse policy to surround yourself with Allah’s words in short bursts, if needed, a few times a day. The more you just open it and read it, spend those five or ten minutes a day learning a new Ayah and reading the meaning, the more Allah, the Most High, will protect you and angels will surround you. If you haven't built yourself up to reading a juz (20 pages) of the Quran daily, start now. If you did that in Ramadhan, don't stop now. Continue reading. The more time you spend on the Quran, the more you will feel peace, your affairs taken care off, your illnesses being healed and more.

Yahya bin Mu’adh said: The Dunya [world] is worthless to its Lord [Allah], and yet it belongs to Him. So it’s not right that you value it so much, and it’s not even yours! [Hilyatul-Awliya]

O Allah, help us to set our priorities right in this world and aid us in making Your Book a priority in our daily life and experience its tranquility. 

رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً وَهَيِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ أَمْرِنَا رَشَدًا

Our Lord, grant us from Yourself mercy and prepare for us from our affair right guidance. [Quran, Al Kahf 18:10]
