The Holy Quran
﴾﴿میحرلا نحرلا اللّٰہ مسب
﴾﴿بولقلا ئمطت اللّٰہ رکذبلا ط اللّٰہ رکذب مبولق ئمطت و اونما یذلا
“Those who believe, and whose hearts find comfort in the remembrance of Allah. Aye! It is in the remembrance of Allah that hearts can find comfort.” (Surah al-Ra‘d, Ch.13: V.29)
Regarding the aforementioned verse of the Holy Quran, Hazrat Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmud Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih II and Musleh-e-Maudra, said the following in his commentary, Tafsir-e-Kabir: “People earn wealth, they rule over others, have good children, find good wives, have good friends, gain profit from their businesses, achieve academic excellence, prosper in agriculture; thus, they achieve success in all fields. Despite all this [success], still their hearts are not content. “After one wish is fulfilled, two more urges and wishes arise and such people constantly feel that what they actually wanted or wished for has not yet been attained. They are like the child who has lost its mother; the child sees various people, one after the other, but never finds relief for it has not found what it was in search of. The child has not found its true mother. This is the state of those who aim for worldly prosperity. “It is narrated in a hadith that during a battle, the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, saw a woman who had lost her child. Every child she saw, she would embrace it, kiss it and then put it down to go on searching. Finally, she found her child and then sat down satisfied and relieved. The Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, pointed this out to the Companions and said, ‘In contract to the happiness that this mother felt when she found her child, Allah the Almighty is even more pleased when a sinful person turns towards Him’… “This the state of every human. Only when one finds their true purpose will their anxiousness disappear, and only then can one attain satisfaction. As the true purpose of man’s creation is the remembrance of God Almighty, verbal and otherwise, when one finds God, then no anguish remains, rather one experiences true satisfaction.”
