thirsting for peace?

الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُمْ بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ أَلاَ بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ

Those who believe and whose hearts find satisfaction in the remembrance of Allah.

No doubt, in the remembrance of Allah the hearts find satisfaction. (13:28)

Salam. One finds utmost satisfaction and peaceful in the remembrance of Allah SWT. This is absolutely true. I've experienced so many times before. And alhamdulillah (all praise upon Him) am still experiencing it now. this pleasure comes at the highest peak at one time and surprisingly quickly fades away at another time. It goes as fast as it comes. This is its routine in my life. When I'm strayed away, my heart wont be at peace. You can still see me smiling cheerfully, but my heart is definitely not. Sometimes, I cry out of nothing. My eyes can burst into tears in seconds with no solid reasons behind it. I don’t even know what is the cause but I know there is something wrong. Everything is falling apart. Everything seems to be wrong. Why does this happen? The answer is obvious indeed. My soul does not get enough nutrition that it needs. The iman or remembrance of Allah SWT that it longs for. But I often neglect it until I realize my soul REALLY thirsted for iman. If you cant cry because you forget Him, then cry because you are not able to do that. As I'm reading the Quran, I will ALWAYS find sentences that hit me right at the face. The Quran is wonderful indeed. You can read it anytime, and there is always a sentence that fits into your situation. It definitely comprises of words of God. Back to the topic, as a human, we have the responsibility to feed both our soul and body with their own necessities. Food is obviously for our body, and our soul always craves for the remembrance of Him. For in the remembrance, I'll find unexplainable satisfaction and peace. I'll suddenly realize His countless blessings around me. My heart is content and everything seems wonderful and beautiful. Even when facing with problems, I'll see them as priceless gifts from Him that teach me to be stronger. The genuine satisfaction in my heart appears as smile on my face. If you are looking for peace in the world which is full of conflicts, let's find it within yourselves first.

may Allah bless you always
