I don't think peace and tranquility to our nature is possible without these higher blessings. If we were created upon another nature, then it would be. But we chose to want the trust and this nature before coming to this world, and now that we carry it's obligation, we cannot turn our backs on it.
This according to the explanation of the Quran I am aware of.
All I can convey is my perspective. You are free to disagree.
Defending the bible by using the quran is like treating a broken bone with a baseball bat.
More of the same doesn't really solve the problem.
I reject your reality and substitute my own!
