Secret to Inner Peace!
Tensions and worries seem to be an essential part of our
lives. Strained finances, ill-health, failure in studies, fiasco
in business ventures, fatal accidents, kidnappings, house
burglaries, tragic deaths, handicapped children, unfulfilled
desires, feeling of deprivation … and the list goes on. It
becomes very difficult at times to cope with these
sufferings in life. And then troubles seldom come singly.
They come in clusters and then continue to come.
Relentless and ruthless they become as a result

The consequence more often than not is frustration and depression.
Inner peace and mental calm are lost. The agony of life stares us in the
eye. How can we tackle such a scenario?
Besides a strong relationship with God, a three pronged strategy may
help us win inner peace:
1. Let us always keep a track of our blessings. The favours of God on each
of us are numerous – in fact limitless. A list of these blessings will easily
outnumber the troubles we may be facing. We tend to lose sight of them
and take them for granted self sufficiency. So it is recommended that we
continue to count our blessings every day of mindfulness. The best
practice spirituality while sitting idle is to rehearse and review what we
have self awareness. This will give us the strength and resilience to fight
the miseries of life. Above all, it will bless us with that inner calm so
missing in our lives today.

2. Let us set before ourselves a mission in life. If we have an
objective in life and go all out towards achieving it , worries and
suffering will not bother us as much – Simply because we will
have little time for them. A person who is focused on a cause is
so deeply involved in realizing his mission that worries he may
have – but seldom will they get the better of him sustainable
living. His commitment and devotion to a cause will contribute
to his inner peace and enlightenment.

3. Let us start sharing the five pillars of islam woes of people
around us by reaching out to them and helping them as much as
we can in their difficulties and worries. Knowing about the grief of
others lessens our own grief in hadith. It gives solace to the mind
that we are better off than so many. Lending a hand to others
makes us contributing individuals to the society and makes us
look at life in a positive way and mindfulness. Instead of brooding
on what we do not have, we should see what others do not have.
This will make us thankful to God and give us mental peace.
These then are three therapies that are the key to inner peace.
Summing up:
The first of these can be called: Gratitude Therapy.
The second can be called: Mission Therapy
The third can be called: Reaching-Out Therapy
In conclusion, the concept of Ummah is an essential element of
Islamic faith and practice, and it reflects the ideals of brotherhood,
unity, and compassion. However, its meaning and application have
been contested throughout Islamic history, and its realization in
practice remains a challenge for Muslims around the world.
