How to acquire satisfaction through Quran?

peace of mind and heart

Meditation and Islamic Prayer (Namaz)

prayer
Since ages, meditation is considered to be a great source of acquiring inner peace and elevating one spiritually. It is deep rooted in many religions of the world, including Islam. Holy Prophet P.B.U.H. used to meditate in Cave Hira. There are many ways of performing the act of Meditation. However, in Islam, the best way to meditate is to establish prayer(namaz). 

I am talking about establishing prayer not just reading and performing rituals. During prayer, one should keep in mind that he is standing before Allah S.W.T and Allah is continuously watching him. From the start of prayer to its end, this thought should be present and besides this, every action during prayer should be performed thoughtfully. To understand this, let me give you an easy example of Traffic Sergeant who is standing at a busy intersection and is controlling the traffic. That sergeant's mind and thoughts are fully concentrated in traffic. He does not get his mind involved in any other thought than traffic. If he does, then cars would collapse into each other and at the end that particular sergeant, who was day-dreaming, would be held responsible. The Sergeant is fully attentive on every single movement of his body during duty. He is aware of his actions. Same should be the state of a person who is standing in front of his lord, the Almighty Allah. He should be attentive about his "qiyam", "ruku", "sajda", etc. During Ruku(bowing), he should keep in his mind that he is bowing in front of the creator of the universe, the great lord and then with a submissive tone he has to say Subhana-rabbi-yal-alah. Similarly prostration and other actions in prayer should be performed in order to establish prayer not merely read it. Holy Prophet P.B.U.H said that Prayer is the ascension of a believer.

There a lot of other ways of doing meditation such as closing eyes and then focusing on breathing etc. But I must say, for Muslims, Allah has given the best way to fulfill this spiritual need and that is Prayer. Allah gave this gift to the Prophet, when he called him to Mairaj(Ascension). So, from now onwards, pray regularly with an intention to make your prayer physically and spiritually alive.

Why Surah Fatiha is read in Prayer

Surah Fatiha
Surah Fatiha is the first surah of the Holy Quran. It is read in every rakah of every prayer.

The Act of Giving Charity - Sadaqah

Muslims, around the globe, perform different Islamic obligations such as Prayer, Fasting, Pilgrimage etc. One among many is spending in the way of Allah S.W.T. This activity, if compulsory, is known as Zakat which is applicable to be paid only by the rich. Same activity, carried out voluntarily is called Sadaqah or Voluntary Charity. As far as I think, the money is the most loved thing by humans because it can buy anything, and giving it to somebody is quite a hard task. Shaytaan does not easily let us give it to the needy. It instills in one a fear of poverty or of losing money. But in reality, this is not the case because Holy Prophet P.B.U.H said that charity does not in any way decrease the wealth. So if we keep in mind this saying of Prophet S.A.W.W. whenever there is an opportunity to spend, then it would be much easier for us to give charity. Besides this ALLAH says in the Quran, Say, "Indeed, my Lord extends provision for whom He wills of His servants and restricts [it] for him. But whatever thing you spend [in His cause] - He will compensate it; and He is the best of providers." [34:39]. There are many other similar Quranic verses and hadiths which deliver the same idea that a believer as a result of spending in the way of Allah will get rewarded both in this world and the world hereafter.

Spending in the way of Allah is a proof of one's faith, because on the orders of Allah S.W.T and Muhammad S.A.W.W. he spends his most loved thing i.e. wealth. It shows that he believes in the unseen more than that what can be seen. 

This also gives us the message that we should do what Allah and his Prophet told us, not what we think. For example, you have 100 dollars, and you lend it with interest, and you'll get back 110 dollars. On the other hand, instead of lending it, you give 10 dollars from it as sadaqah. As a result, you'll be left with 90 dollars. Now, If we take a look at both amounts, one is 110 and the other is 90, now human mind says that 110 is greater than 90 but Allah's message says that 90 is greater and 110 is lesser. ''Allah destroys interest and gives increase for charities. And Allah does not like every sinning disbeliever.'' [2;276]. Human brain's thinking capacity is limited. Therefore, we should do what Allah and his messenger has ordered us instead of blindly following our limited understanding vision.
