Quran Verses About Anxiety (القلق)
Feeling anxious? The Quran offers divine comfort: "With hardship comes ease" (94:5). These verses are a prescription for peace of mind, reminding you that Allah is always in control.
فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Fa inna ma'al usri yusra
For indeed, with hardship will be ease.
WITH - not after. Ease is already present inside your hardship.
إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًۭا
Inna ma'al 'usri yusra
Indeed, with hardship will be ease.
Allah repeats it for emphasis - double ease for every single hardship.
أَلَا بِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ ٱلْقُلُوبُ
alaa bizikril laahi tatma'innul quloob
Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured.
The ultimate anti-anxiety prescription: dhikr (remembrance of Allah).
وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُۥٓ
wa many yatawakkal 'alal laahi fahuwa husbuh
And whoever relies upon Allah - then He is sufficient for him.
Let go and let Allah - tawakkul dissolves anxiety at its root.
وَلَا تَهِنُوا۟ وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا۟
Wa laa tahinoo wa laa tahzanoo
So do not weaken and do not grieve.
A direct command: don't grieve. Allah tells you not to - because He's got you.
لَا يُكَلِّفُ ٱللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا
Laa yukalliful-laahu nafsan illaa wus'ahaa
Allah does not charge a soul except with that within its capacity.
Your anxiety says you can't handle it. Allah says you can.
لَا تَقْنَطُوا۟ مِن رَّحْمَةِ ٱللَّهِ
laa taqnatoo mirrahmatil laah
Do not despair of the mercy of Allah.
No matter how dark it gets - never lose hope in Allah's mercy.
وَلَلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
Walal-aakhiratu khairul laka minal-oola
And the Hereafter is better for you than the first life.
Your best days are ahead - what Allah has prepared for you is better than what you're going through.
قَالَ لَا تَخَافَآ ۖ إِنَّنِى مَعَكُمَآ أَسْمَعُ وَأَرَىٰ
Qaala laa takhaafaaa innanee ma'akumaa asma'u wa araa
Allah said, "Fear not. Indeed, I am with you both; I hear and I see."
Allah told Musa and Harun: don't be afraid. He hears you and sees everything.
أَلَآ إِنَّ أَوْلِيَآءَ ٱللَّهِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
Alaa innaa awliyaaa'al laahi laa khawfun 'alaihim wa laa hum yahzanoon
Unquestionably, for the allies of Allah there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.
Allah's allies - those close to Him - are freed from fear and grief.
