It’s hard to find peace within. You may think that you find it there, waiting for you. Others have to search, fight tooth and nail to find their peace. Why am I talking about this, you may ask?

Well to be honest, I think we measure peace in a different way than which it should be measured. True tranquillity is literally only possible through Deen and understanding the Deen, but we receive tranquillity and forms of peace in small doses everyday really. We just don’t know about it or appreciate it until it’s gone.

If you woke up this morning

with more health than illness,

you are more blessed than the

million who won’t survive the week.

If you have never experienced

the danger of battle,

the loneliness of imprisonment,

the agony of torture or

the pangs of starvation,

you are ahead of 20 million people

around the world.

If you attend a social meeting

without fear of harassment,

arrest, torture, or death,

you are more blessed than almost

three billion people in the world.

If you have food in your refrigerator,

clothes on your back, a roof over

your head and a place to sleep,

you are richer than 75% of this world.

If you have money in the bank,

in your wallet, and spare change

in a dish someplace, you are among

the top 8% of the worlds wealthy.
