The Secret to Serenity In the Holy Qur’an

The silence can be deafening for the brokenhearted, who are desperate to hear words of solace from Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala. 

However, true believers should know they only need to open the Holy Qur’an to seek what they’re looking for – that is, serenity and calmness amid the chaos of the world.

Here are 3 verses from the Holy Qur’an to soothe sad souls, and rekindle lost hope:


1- Surah Baqarah: 155-156

And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient, Who, when disaster strikes them, say, “Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return.”


2- Surah Yusuf: 86-87

He said, “I only complain of my suffering and my grief to Allah, and I know from Allah that which you do not know. O my sons, go and find out about Joseph and his brother and despair not of relief from Allah. Indeed, no one despairs of relief from Allah except the disbelieving people.” 


3- Surah Anfal: 70

“If Allah knows [any] good in your hearts, He will give you [something] better than what was taken from you, and He will forgive you; and Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.”


May Allah (SWT) have mercy upon us, and give us the peace of mind, body, and soul we are all searching for. Ameen.
