\n\tAnswered by: Shaykh Umer Khan\u200b<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tQuestion:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCan you please tell me the dua for sakon e dil? <\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHow to calm the heart?<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn The Name Of Allah, The Most-Merciful, The Most Kind<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tAll\u0101h says: "Unquestionably, the hearts find comfort\/peace\/tranquillity in the remembrance of All\u0101h" (Qur'\u0101n, 13:28). He also says: "So remember Me, and I will remember you". (Qur'\u0101n, 2:152).<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Prophet \ufdfa is reported to have said: "There is no group that remembers Allah, except that the angels encompass them, mercy covers them, and tranquillity descends upon them: and All\u0101h remembers (mentions) them before those who are with Him [i.e. the angels]" (J\u0101mi\u02bb al-Tirmidh\u012b, \u1e25ad\u012bth 2910, 3378).<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAlthough there is much focus nowadays on remembering All\u0101h through nash\u012bds or other means, the best remembrance (dhikr) of All\u0101h is to read and follow the Qur'\u0101n.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAll\u0101h refers to the Qur'\u0101n as THE dhikr: "Indeed, it is We who sent down the Dhikr [i.e. the Qur’\u0101n], and We will preserve it" (Qur'\u0101n, 15:9).<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Prophet \ufdfa is reported to have said: "Whoever recites a letter from the Book of All\u0101h, he will receive one good deed from it, and the good deed will reward of ten the like of it" (J\u0101mi\u02bb al-Tirmidh\u012b, \u1e25ad\u012bth 2910).<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe dhikr of All\u0101h should not just be uttered from the tongue, but properly understood, and then acted upon. Sa\u02bb\u012bd bin Jubayr reported: "Anyone engaged in obeying All\u0101h is in fact engaged in the Dhikr of All\u0101h".<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTo achieve calmness and tranquillity in the heart, read the Qur'\u0101n frequently with understanding and act upon it by obeying All\u0101h's commands and staying away from what He prohibited.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIbn Taymiyyah said: "The heart cannot be sound, or succeed, or find joy, or be happy, or feel pleasure, or be good, or be at peace, or find tranquillity, except by worshipping its Lord, loving Him and returning to Him. Even if it attains all that it can enjoy of created things, it will not feel at peace or find tranquillity, because it has an inherent need for its Lord, for He is the focus of its worship, love and seeking, and this is the only way to attain joy, happiness, pleasure, peace, and tranquillity." (al-\u02bbUb\u016bdiyyah, 97).<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition to the Qur'\u0101n, one du\u02bb\u0101 taught to us by the Prophet \ufdfa (Sa\u1e25\u012b\u1e25 al-Bukh\u0101r\u012b, \u1e25ad\u012bth 6369) to deal with anxiety, worry, and sorrow was:<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe translation is: "O All\u0101h! I seek refuge with You from worry and grief, from incapacity and laziness, from cowardice and miserliness, from being heavily in debt and from being overpowered by (other) men".<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
