Inner Peace is Divine Knowledge

You cannot attain peace in life by merely appearing great, knowledgeable, or profound in front of others. True peace is in the recognition of the Divine (ma’rifat al-ilahiyya). Without this recognition, life holds no value, and one lives in a hellish state. Therefore, we should turn towards that which is a great mercy. We should honor each other, love one another, and consider others more important than ourselves. Respect others more than ourselves. This will develop within us the understanding that everything in the world is created by Allah and everything has its own beauty. Why then do we perceive Allah’s creation as bad? This mindset of ours is the cause of our unrest. It is why we have lost our peace.
