QUESTION TO PONDER: HOW TO ACHIEVE A SOUL AT PEACE? يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّة ارْجِعِي إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَرْضِيَّةً فَادْخُلِي فِي عِبَادِي وَادْخُلِي جَنَّتِيُ O soul at peace! Return to your Lord, well-pleased (with Him), well-pleasing (Him), So enter among My servants, And enter into My garden. (Sūratul Fajr, No. 89, Āyāt 27 – 30) The verses above are a call from the Lord to the soul that is completely at peace due to faith and complete trust in Him. Such a soul is tranquil and at rest, no matter what the world offers him. Whether in happy circumstances or unhappy ones, outer disturbances do not affect the peace that is at the core of the soul of the believer. The soul is invited to return back to Allah, the place it originally came from. After we (all) belong to Allah and to Him we shall (all) return (Q 2:156). It is an invitation to return home, a home where God is the host. The call is to return to the Lord and to the blessings that He has prepared for the faithful believers. To enter the garden He has kept ready for them, and to be among the chosen servants of Allah, a blessing that is the ultimate honor for the believer.
