I had a thought, which I wanted to share. Islam promotes the proper utilization of the worldly blessings bestowed by Allah, the Exalted, as described in the Holy Quran and the teachings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. By doing so, individuals can attain peace of mind in both this life and the hereafter. Such conduct fosters a harmonious mental and physical state and allows one to correctly prioritize everything and everyone within their life while preparing for their accountability on the Day of Judgement. Ultimately, this approach leads to peace of mind in both worlds.
Therefore, individuals must embrace and implement Islamic teachings for their own benefit, even when these teachings conflict with their personal desires. They should act like a wise patient who follows their doctor’s medical advice, understanding that it is in their best interest, despite the unpleasantness of certain treatments and dietary restrictions. Just as this wise patient can attain optimal mental and physical health, so too can someone who adheres to Islamic principles. This is because Allah, the Exalted, alone possesses the ultimate knowledge necessary for achieving a harmonious mental and physical state and for appropriately prioritizing all aspects of life. The collective understanding of human mental and physical conditions within society, despite extensive research, falls short of providing comprehensive solutions to every challenge one may encounter. Their guidance cannot eliminate all forms of stress or help individuals correctly position everything and everyone in their lives due to inherent limitations in knowledge, experience, foresight, and biases. Only Allah, the Exalted, holds this profound knowledge, which He has shared with humanity through the Holy Quran and the teachings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. This reality becomes evident when observing those who utilize their blessings in accordance with Islamic teachings versus those who do not. While many patients may not grasp the scientific rationale behind their prescribed medications and thus blindly trust their doctors, Allah, the Exalted, however, encourages individuals to contemplate the teachings of Islam to recognize their beneficial impact on their lives. He does not require blind faith in these teachings; rather, He desires that individuals discern their truth through clear evidence. However, this necessitates an unbiased and open-minded approach to the teachings of Islam. Chapter 12 Yusuf, verse 108:
“Say, “This is my way; I invite to Allāh with insight, I and those who follow me….””
Furthermore, since Allah, the Exalted, is the sole ruler of people’s spiritual hearts, the abode of peace of mind, He alone determines who receives it and who does not. Chapter 53 An Najm, verse 43:
“And that it is He who makes [one] laugh and weep.”
It is evident that Allah, the Exalted, bestows peace of mind solely upon those who correctly utilize the blessings He has provided as outlined in Islamic teachings.
