Finding Tranquility

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate

We all have worries. Our hearts are troubled. The COVID-19 crisis is adding to our worries. But the believers find tranquility in the remembrance Allah. The remembrance of Allah is in the worship of Allah, in the Quran, in the salah, in the zikr, in making du’a, in making istighfar, in connecting with Allah. This is where our hearts will find tranquility. Tranquility lies with the one who worships Allah and who feels the sweetness in the worship of Allah.

Allah Most High says in Surah Ar-Ra'd,

وَيَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَوْلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ ۗ قُلْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُضِلُّ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِىٓ إِلَيْهِ مَنْ أَنَابَ ﴿٢٧﴾ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُم بِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ أَلَا بِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ ٱلْقُلُوبُ ﴿٢٨﴾

And those who disbelieved say, "Why has a sign not been sent down to him from his Lord?" Say, [O Muhammad], "Indeed, Allah leaves astray whom He wills and guides to Himself whoever turns back [to Him] - Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured." [Quran, Ar-Ra'd 13:27-28]

Memorize these five words so we are reminded when we are feeling down ... أَلَا بِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ ٱلْقُلُوبُ

May Allah make us of people of remembrance. May Allah pour upon us tranquility, make the best of our lives the end of it, the best of our deeds the last of them and the best of our days the day we meet Him. Aameen.

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam.

And Allah knows best and is Most Wise, and He alone grants success, and to Him is the final return of all.

Wassalaam
