As human beings, one of the greatest desires in life is the search for inner peace. the greatest human drive is the search for peace, whatever humans do, they do so seeking peace and tranquility.
Similarly, one of the names of Paradise in the Quran is Dar As-Salam (House of Peace). One of the names of Allah is As-Salam, the Perfect, the source of all peace. The word Islam itself is related to the word “salam” which means peace.
Imam Ibn Taymiyyah said that there is a paradise on this earth, which one needs to enter, to enter the paradise of the hereafter. This paradise, he says, is the tranquility and contentment of the heart.
Contentment of the heart is a very difficult trait to have. The world around us, and things that happen to us usually make us very troubled individuals.
