The Qur'an: A Cure for Sadness and Stress
THE GREATEST DHIKR (QUR'AN)
➖➖➖
*A Source of Tranquility*
➖➖➖
Come closer to the Qur'an! And you will find success!
_
Allah ﷻ says:
*طٰهٰ*
*Ta-Ha*
*مَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِتَشْقَىٰٓ*
*We have not sent the Qur'an upon you to cause you distress.*
[20:1-2]
*Qatadah رحمه الله said:* _"No, by Allah, He did not make it a thing of distress. Rather, He made it a mercy, a light and a guide to Paradise."_
_
Many of us, we complain of stress, of sadness, of spiritual and physical pain!
_
Oh you who is sad from his guilt of sinning!
Let your pain wash away by reading the Ayaat about Jannah!
Then work for it!
_
We have left behind the main cure!
Dhikr of Allah ﷻ!
And the greatest Dhikr is?
The Qur'an!
_
*وَ مَن أَعرَضَ عَن ذِكرِي*
*And whoever is far from my remembrance*
*فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكًا*
*Then surely for him is a depressed life*.
[20:124]
*Ibn Kathir رحمه الله writes* _"meaning, his life will be hard in this world. He will have no tranquillity and no expanding of his breast (ease). Rather, his chest will be constrained and in difficulty due to his misguidance. Even if he appears to be in comfort outwardly and he wears whatever he likes, eats whatever he likes and lives wherever he wants, he will not be happy. For verily, his heart will not have pure certainty and guidance. He will be in agitation, bewilderment and doubt. He will always be in confusion and a state of uncertainty. This is from the hardship of life."_
_
The source of eternal contentment, tranquility and peace, is in the Qur'an!
_
You only need to return to it and let it speak to you!
_
The more we continue to search for happiness and honour in the world rather than what Allah ﷻ revealed.
The more we will fall into the dark hole of heedlessness!
_
The only cure is to turn to Ash Shifa, An Noor, Al Furqan, Al Huda and let it speak to us and cleanse us from worry!
_
So go to your shelf, clean the dust off your Qur'an and read it!
_
May Allah ﷻ make us among the people of the Qur'an.
*آمِيْن*
