This Is The True Meaning Of Being At Peace, Experiencing Tranquility Within Ourself Even Though From

This is the true meaning of being at peace, experiencing tranquility within ourself even though from the outside it looks like our world has been in turmoil. Alhamdulilah for everything, for every circumstances, for every feeling of weakness and strength, life is beautiful, the various phases we go through are like the colours that ultimately help us paint ourselves and the world around us, the darker and the lighter shades along with some really vivid bright colours add depth to those paintings, so smile everything is gonna be alright be sure to enjoy all the colours life has to offer and also make sure to paint a good picture of yourself and the world :)

It’s that moment when we are floating and we stare right into the face of the sky. The noise of this world is unheard, drowning along with our broken thoughts and sorrows. That state of peace of just floating in the middle of a sea, a lake or pool, staring at that infinite sky. When everything is blue around you, but you don’t feel that blue inside you.

I crave that.

An eye opening reminder SubhanAllah

You know, Allah hid Paradise from our sight, but He didn’t hide the path to it. He hid Himself, but He didn’t hide His words. He hides the future but compels us to learn from the past.  

Yet sometimes we’re so fixated on the ‘seen’ problem we fail to see the ‘unseen’ solution. Yes, everything is predestined and we drown in the ‘why me?’ heap of things, but didn’t Almighty Allah ever teach you that the door to call upon Him is always wide open?

“Be the kind of person who isn’t afraid to ask someone if they are okay twice if they say they are, but look like they aren’t. Be the kind of person who smiles at people even if they don’t smile back. Be the kind of person you wished for when no one was there for you. Be the kind of person who is brave enough to stand alone in a crowd for what is right. Be that person because we need more people like that in the world. Be that person because people like that are rarer than the rarest diamonds and gold.”

Over the years, I developed a habit of subconsciously reciting واللہ المستعان whenever I faced something that disturbed my peace. But I was never aware of the background story of such powerful word until only recently when I heard about it in a lecture by on Surah Yousuf.

The word, Wallahul Mustaaan, as mentioned in the Quran, was said by Yaqoob عليه السلام when his sons came up with a false story of what happened to Yousuf عليه السلام. Yaqoob tried his best to find the truth but his sons teamed up to defend their heinous act and lies. Tired of the situation, Yaqoob asked Allah for Sabrun Jameel (beautiful patience) followed by Wallahul Mustaaan.

According to the commentators of the Quran, Wallahul Mustaan is used to call for Allaah’s help when you find yourself in impossible situations, when people team up against you to defend their lies, when people accuse you of something false, when you have given your best and desperately waiting for desired results, when you feel you’re in a situation where there’s no way out. It’s literally saying to Allaah that I have given my best and now I am taking a backseat, I want You to take charge of the driving seat and solve this matter with your Divine intervention.

And patience automatically becomes beautiful when with all your heart, mind, and soul you leave the matter on Allaah.

Sharing it with you all because I thought it might brighten someone’s day. Don’t worry if the situation seems impossible, remember you’re asking the One who just have to say ‘Kun’ and it is.

You are asking the One who calls Himself, Al-Fattah. Who creates a way out when there seems to be no way. So take a backseat and let Allaah do the rest.

Wallahul Mustaan - “Allaah is the one sought for help”

واللہ المستعان 🖤
