When your mind is restless and your heart unsettled, these sacred words bring sakina (tranquility). Let Allah's words quiet the noise within.
أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ
"Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest."
This is perhaps the most powerful verse about peace of mind. "Tatma'innu" — the heart settles, calms, finds satisfaction. No therapy, no distraction, no worldly solution can match what dhikr (remembrance of Allah) does for a troubled heart. When nothing else works, return to His name.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَالْحَزَنِ، وَالْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَالْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ، وَضَلَعِ الدَّيْنِ وَغَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ
"O Allah, I seek refuge in You from anxiety and sorrow, from weakness and laziness, from cowardice and miserliness, from the burden of debt and the overpowering of people."
The Prophet ﷺ made this dua regularly. Notice how comprehensive it is — covering mental health (anxiety, sorrow), spiritual weakness (laziness, cowardice), and worldly pressures (debt, being overwhelmed). This dua is a complete protection for your peace of mind.
يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ ارْجِعِي إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً فَادْخُلِي فِي عِبَادِي وَادْخُلِي جَنَّتِي
"O tranquil soul! Return to your Lord, pleased and pleasing to Him. Enter among My servants. Enter My Paradise."
"Nafs al-mutma'inna" — the tranquil soul. This is the goal: a soul at peace, satisfied with Allah's decree, content with His plan. The reward for achieving this inner peace? An invitation to Paradise itself. Your journey to peace of mind is a journey to Jannah.
هُوَ الَّذِي أَنزَلَ السَّكِينَةَ فِي قُلُوبِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لِيَزْدَادُوا إِيمَانًا مَّعَ إِيمَانِهِمْ
"It is He who sent down tranquility (sakina) into the hearts of the believers that they would increase in faith along with their existing faith."
Sakina — divine tranquility — is something Allah actively sends down. It's a gift He places in believers' hearts. When you feel that unexpected calm in the midst of chaos? That's sakina. Ask Allah for it, and recognize it when it arrives.
رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي وَيَسِّرْ لِي أَمْرِي وَاحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِّن لِّسَانِي يَفْقَهُوا قَوْلِي
"My Lord, expand for me my chest, ease for me my task, and untie the knot from my tongue, that they may understand my speech."
This was Prophet Musa's (AS) dua before facing Pharaoh — one of the most daunting tasks ever given to a human. "Sharh sadr" — expansion of the chest — means relief from constriction, anxiety, and fear. When you feel your chest tight with worry, make this dua your own.
