A Constant Source of Peace

As-salaam aleikum! May God’s PEACE surround us!

PEACE. That’s exactly what my friend needed yesterday. She had a job interview, and she had no peace of mind about the position. So I made du’ah (prayer) for her and asked Allah to make it clear if she were to take this job by giving her a profound sense of PEACE. (I have to admit, I was doubtful that this would happen, as she didn’t think this position would suit her). But after the interview, she told me that she had an incredible and overwhelming feeling of PEACE! The job position was far better than she expected—in fact, it’s just what she dreamed of! Alhamdulillah! Praise God! Allah—Subhanna wa Ta’ala (glorious is He)—is truly As-Salaam, the Source of PEACE!

And how about you? Do you have PEACE today? Are you able to go through the business, the crises, the ordinary parts of your day with a sense of peace?

You know, the Prophet Yusuf (Joseph) was able to have a sense of PEACE despite some of the most difficult circumstances imaginable. Let’s see what secrets he shares with us as we look at his life.

Reading: Surah Yusuf (Surah 12)

Well, please feel free to comment about how Allah has given YOU peace!

Salaam!
