Allah tells us that the Qur’an has been sent down not only as a mercy to us, but also as healing (17:82) for our hearts, bodies and souls. He also tells us that in the remembrance of Him, we will find peace (13:28). 

So in your lowest moments, pick up the Qur’an and remember that even if you are unable to articulate what is in your heart, He already knows, remember that even if it feels as though you are alone, He is with you. Remember that through patience and remembrance, you will find peace and there will be ease after this short moment of hardship. 

In this piece, we have compiled a few out of the many, many ayahs from the Qur’an that may provide some healing to your heart and soothe your soul. 

“…I am invoking You [Allah] by all the names that You call Yourself, that You have taught to anyone in Your creation, that You have mentioned in Your Book, or that You have kept unknown. Let the Qur’an be Springtime of my heart, the light of my chest, the remover of my sadness and the pacifier of my worries.”
