Islam itself is inherently associated with inner peace and tranquillity. The words Islam, Muslim and salaam (peace) all come from the root word "Sa - la – ma" denoting peace, security, and safety. When one submits to the will of God he or she will experience an innate sense of security and peacefulness. Allah has placed within our hearts a profound void that only He can fill. True peace and tranquility can only be attained when we recognize the transient nature of our lives, grasp the greatness of Allah, and keep Him ever present in our thoughts.
