  Are you tired of trying all the luxuries of this word in search of inner peace and tranquility? Here is what your creator says:  
     
  Verily in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest! Holy Quran Chapter 13  
 

(Ra'd/The Thunder) Verse:28

 
     
  Peace is precious. No one denies that fact. Everyone is in search of peace. The rich is search of peace as is the poor and all those in between. Some think that money can bring peace. They fail to see that there are rich who cannot sleep without the help of pills. Some turn to alcohol and drugs in search of peace. They may find a temporary escape from the world around them. But that kind of regular escapes away from the real world with the help of drugs and alcohol only adds to the misery.  
     
  Where do we find peace? That is easy.  Let me explain.

First let me tell you the reason we are in this mess. Primarily we are in this never ending cycle of searching for the elusive peace because we are completely out of sync with the nature. What do I mean by the nature? Nature is all that you see around you day in and day out. The sun does its job every day as does the moon. Likewise all the living and non living things around you has been doing the same thing since they were created and installed in their places. It is because they obey certain rules consistently that makes us study them and benefit from them. If the rules of physics or chemistry change every day we may not have made cars and planes or medicine for our cure. In short there is a law of nature where all those living and non living things perfectly function and fit like in a puzzle.

  Where can I find those divine instructions for peace?

Before going to answering that let me ask you a question. Who is searching for peace? Is it you? Or is that your soul? Human being is a combination of body and soul. So you need to know whether you are seeking peace for the soul or for your body. For example if you have a headache you know you need to take pills that relieves headache. There is no sense in taking the medicine that fixes an upset stomach when you have a headache. Likewise you have to take the right "medicine" to bring peace to your soul. There is no point in consuming tons of medicine that addresses your physical body or those drugs and alcohol that help you put your body on a temporary escape mode with no gain for the soul and eventually bring a lot of damage to the body.

So we agree that soul needs its own nourishment to be healthy and peaceful. Our soul is not a matter of this material world. It is from the unseen spiritual world. Here is what God answered when people inquired about the soul.

  We invite you to Islam the way of life of all the prophets starting from Adam to Muhammad (peace be upon them all). Did you know that Jesus and Moses were Muslims? A Muslim is one who submits to God Almighty.

We hold prophets Jesus and Moses with high honor. We take inspiration from their teachings. Have you noticed the following?

 
 
a) Muslims men grow beard like Jesus and Moses did.
b) Muslim male are circumcised as Jesus was.
c) Muslim women are dressed like mother Mary
d) Muslims wish each other Salam (peace) like Jesus did (Shalom)
e) Muslims prostrate like Jesus prayed in the garden of Getshamane.
f) We wash before prayer like Moses and Aaron did.
g) We believe, obey and worship the same One God they worshipped.
h) We believe in Gospels and Torah in its original form
 
 
Here is what God says in his Quran the last and final testament for mankind.
 
     
  If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah) never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost. (all spiritual good). Chapter 3 (Al Imran/Family of Imran) Verse 85
