Inner Peace Yasmin Mogahed part 1.

Inner Peace – Reflections Inspired by Yasmin Mogahed Every heart is searching for peace. We look for it in people, in relationships, in success, in comfort, and in control. Yet the more we chase it in the world, the more it seems to slip away. Yasmin Mogahed reminds us that inner peace is not found by perfecting our circumstances—it is found by anchoring our hearts to Allah. True peace does not mean a life without storms. It means having a heart that remains steady even when the waves rise. It is the calm that comes from knowing that nothing reaches you unless Allah allows it, and nothing leaves you unless it was never meant to stay. When the heart understands this, fear begins to fade, and trust takes its place. Inner peace grows when we stop attaching our happiness to what we cannot control. People change. Situations shift. Dreams sometimes break. But Allah never changes. When we make Him the center of our hope, our love, and our reliance, we become unshakeable. We learn that loss is not the end—it is often redirection. That pain is not abandonment—it is an invitation to return. This path teaches us to: Release the need to control everything Accept that what missed you was never written for you Trust that what is written will reach you, even if the world stands in the way Find comfort in prayer when words fail Remember Allah when the heart feels heavy Inner peace is born when the heart stops fighting reality and starts trusting divine wisdom. It is found in sujood, in silent tears, in whispered duʿā’, and in the deep certainty that Allah is closer to you than your own breath. You do not need to have everything figured out. You only need to place your heart in the hands of the One who already has. When you surrender your worries to Allah, your soul begins to breathe again. And in that surrender, you discover a peace that no storm can steal.
