Finding Happiness & Inner Peace

This short video reminds us of what is essential when we seek the good life: a life of inner contentment, happiness and peace of mind. The reminder bases itself upon the words of the Qur’an: Whoever does good, be they male or female, and has faith, We shall cause them to live a goodly life. [16:97]

Given the angst and anxieties that plague us moderns, and the huge discontent which engulfs the lives of so many people today, Finding Happiness & Inner Peace is a simple, timely reminder about what really counts in life.

  Thank you for your comment, Adela. Your right, meditation can indeed bring about an inner calm and state of contentment. As Muslims, we believe that meditating on the Creator’s bounties and blessings He has given us, or on His names and beautiful qualities, not only inspires divine love in the soul, but brings about a deep and profound state of happiness and contentment in one’s life too.

About Me

My name is Surkheel Sharif (aka Abu Aaliyah). Born and raised in London, England, I began my more formal, but gradual studies of the Islamic sciences around the late 1980s (just a few years after having quit my degree in Astrophysics). I also gained an MA in Islamic Studies from Birkbeck College, University of London, in 2009.

I’ve translated a few Islamic works from Arabic into English; one of them, a short text on Muslim spirituality, called The Exquisite Pearl (2000). I have also authored a few books, including: More Fish Please & the Earth’s Complaint (2011); Fussing Over the 15th of Sha’ban & the Golden Rule of Differing (2011); A Muslim’s Guide to Modernity (2025); and Salafism Reconsidered (forthcoming)

I am the founder and current Director of the Jawziyyah Institute (est. 1999): a non-profit organisation dedicated to cultivating an Islam true to its time-honoured tradition, relevant to its current context, and of benefit to wider society.
