Search for Inner Peace (part 3 of 4): Patience and Goals in Life"},"content":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignright size-full wp-image-1251\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost\/rs\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2012\/10\/the%20search%203%20copy.jpg\" border=\"0\" style=\"float: right; margin: 10px;\" width=\"425\" height=\"283\" \/>Going back to the story of Moses and Khidr, after they crossed the river they came across a child, and Khidr intentionally killed that child.\u00a0 Moses asked Khidr how he could possibly do such a thing? \u00a0The child was innocent and Khidr simply killed him! \u00a0Khidr told Moses that the child had righteous parents and if the child had grown up (God knew that) he would have become such a terror for his parents that he would have driven them into disbelief, so God ordered the death of the child. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Of course the parents grieved when they found their child dead.\u00a0 However, God replaced their child with one who was righteous and better for them.\u00a0 This child honored them and was good to and for them, but the parents would always have a hole in their heart due to losing their first child, right until the Day of Judgment when they will stand before God, and He will reveal to them the reason why He took the soul of their first child and then they will then understand and praise God.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">So this is the nature of our lives.\u00a0 There are things, things which are apparently negative, things which happen in our lives which seem to be obstacles to inner peace because we do not understand them or why they happened to us, but we have to put them aside.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">They are from God and we have to believe that ultimately there is good behind them, whether we can see it or not.\u00a0 Then we move on to those things that we can change.\u00a0 First we identify them, then we move to the second major step and that is removing the obstacles by developing solutions for them.\u00a0 To remove the obstacles we have to focus mostly on self-change and this is because God says:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u201cVerily! \u00a0God will not change the good condition of a people as long as they do not change their state of good within themselves\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/strong> (Quran 13:11)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">This is an area which we have control over.\u00a0 We can even develop patience, although the common idea is that some people are just born patient.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">A man came to the Prophet, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon himraise his name, and asked what he needed to do to get to Paradise, so the Prophet told him: \u201cDo not get angry.\u201d <\/span><\/strong>(<em>Saheeh Al-Bukhari<\/em>)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The man was an individual who would get angry quickly, so the Prophet told the man that he needed to do change his angry nature.\u00a0 So changing oneself and one\u2019s character is something achievable.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The Prophet also said: <strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u201cWhoever pretends to be patient (with a desire to be patient) God will give him patience.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">This is recorded in <em>Saheeh Al-Bukhari.<\/em> This means that although some people are born patient the rest of us can learn to be patient.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Interestingly in Western psychiatry and psychology they used to tell us to get it off our chest, don\u2019t hold it in because if we did we would explode, so better to let it all out.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Later on they discovered that when people let it all out small blood vessels would burst in their brain because they were so angry.\u00a0 They found that it was actually dangerous and potentially damaging to let it all out.\u00a0 So now they say it is better not to let it all out.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The Prophet told us to try to be patient, so externally we should give that fa\u00e7ade of being patient even when internally we are boiling.\u00a0 And we do not try to be patient externally in order to deceive people; rather, we do so in order to develop patience.\u00a0 If we are consistent in this then the external image of patience also becomes internal and as a result complete patience is achieved and is achievable as mentioned in the Hadeeth quoted above.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Among the methods is to look at how the material elements of our lives play a major part with regards to patience and us achieving it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The Prophet gave us advice on how to deal with these elements by saying:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: large;\">\u201cDo not look to those above you who are more fortunate, instead, look to those below you or less fortunate\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">This is because no matter what our situation is, there are always those who are worse off than us.\u00a0 This should be our general strategy with regards to the material life.\u00a0 Nowadays the material life is a huge part of our life, we seem to be obsessed with it; gaining all we can in this world seems to be the main point that most of us focus our energies towards.\u00a0 So if one must do this then they should not let it affect their inner peace.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">While dealing with the material world we should not keep focusing on those who are better off than us otherwise we will never be satisfied with what we have.\u00a0 The Prophet said:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u201cIf you give the son of Adam a valley of gold he would want another one.\u201d <\/span><\/strong>(<em>Saheeh Muslim<\/em>)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The saying is that the grass is always greener on the other side; and the more a person has the more a person wants.\u00a0 We cannot achieve satisfaction in the material world if we are chasing after it in such a way; rather, we should look to those who are less fortunate, this way we will remember the gifts, benefits and mercy that God has bestowed upon us with regards to our own wealth, no matter how little it may seem.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">There is another saying of the Prophet Muhammad which helps us in the realm of the material world to put our affairs in their proper perspective, and is a Prophetic example of Steven Covey\u2019s, Stephen Covey is an internationally respected leadership authority and founder of Covey Leadership Centre. He received his M.B, principle of \u201cfirst things first\u201d.\u00a0 The Prophet stated this principle over 1400 years ago and laid this principle down for the believers by saying:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u201cWhoever makes this world his goal God will confuse his affairs and place poverty before his eyes and he will be able to attain nothing from this world except for what God has already written for him\u2026\u201d <\/span><\/strong>(<em>Ibn Maajah, Ibn Hibbaan<\/em>)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">So a person\u2019s affairs will not come together for him, he will be all over the place, like a chicken with its head cut off, running wild; if he makes this world his goal.\u00a0 God will place poverty before his eyes and no matter how much money he has he will feel poor.\u00a0 Every time someone is nice to him or smiles at him he feels that they are only doing so because they want his money, he can\u2019t trust anyone and is not happy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">When the stock market crashes you read about some of those who invested in it committing suicide.\u00a0 A person may have had 8 million and lost 5 million with 3 million left after the market crashed, but losing that 5 million seems to him to be the end.\u00a0 He sees no point in living after that, as God has put poverty between his eyes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Ref. www.islamreligion.com<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Going back to the story of Moses and Khidr, after they crossed the river they came across a child, and Khidr intentionally killed that child.\u00a0 Moses asked Khidr how he&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":1251,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1252","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-truth-of-islam"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
