If you’re looking for peace, real peace—the kind that doesn’t fade no matter what happens in life—you’re only going to find it in worshiping Allah. The dunya will never give you that. You could have all the money, status, and comfort in the world, but if your heart is empty of iman, you’ll always feel like something’s missing. That’s why you see people who have everything still depressed, while others with nothing are content. The difference? One has Allah, the other is chasing a dunya that will never satisfy them.
The closest thing to Jannah in this dunya is being close to Allah. The sweetness of Salah, the peace of reading Qur’an, the comfort of knowing that no matter what happens, Allah is with you—that’s the real happiness. So if you want Jannah before Jannah, don’t look for it in wealth, cars, or status. Look for it in your connection with your Creator. Because the one who finds Allah has found everything.
