Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

Many people, when they see evil or when the Muslim ummah goes through a lot of trouble, panic, lose hope and start complaining as people who are beset by calamities do.

But this is forbidden; rather what is enjoined is to be patient, to put one’s trust in Allah, to be steadfast in adhering to the religion of Islam and to believe that Allah is with those who fear Him and those who do good, and that the best end is for those who fear Him;

whatever befalls him is because of his sins, so he should be patient, for the promise of Allah is true; he should seek forgiveness for his sins and glorify and praise his Lord morning and evening.

End quote from Majmoo‘ al-Fataawa, 18/295

Surah For Broken Heart

Here are 5 ayahs (verses) of the Qu’ran that will comfort a broken heart.

1. Surah Sharh Verse 6

“Indeed, with every hardship is ease.”

This ayah will always make you reflect on everything that you do have, and takes the focus off what you have lost.

It reminds us that even if it seems like everything is going wrong, something is still going right.

When we lose something, we gain something else. And even if we can’t think of anything we’ve actually gained, there are still numerous blessings for which we should be grateful.

Specifically when recovering from heartbreak, the “ease,” if we allow it to be so, is closeness to Allah.

We can’t think of any other time when we make more du’a to Allah, and cry to Him more, than when we’re brokenhearted.

2. Surah Ra’ad verse 28

“No doubt, in the remembrance of Allah hearts find comfort.”

Similarly, this ayah reminds us that if we give our hearts to Allah and remember Him frequently, they will be soothed.

This can be accomplished through salah, the Qur’an, dhikr, or simply talking to Allah (du’a).

We should allow tough times to bring us closer to Allah rather than take us away from Him.

A person can blame their bad fate, but at the end of the day, who do we really have except Allah?

He is the only one who truly understands our pain, and He is always waiting for us to turn back to Him.

3. Surah Baqarah verse 216

“Perhaps you hate something and it’s good for you, and perhaps you love something and it’s bad for you. Allah knows, while you don’t know.”

This reminder can be difficult to swallow, but it is definitely necessary. We sometimes forget that even if we dislike something that has happened to us, it may be for the best.

For example, if a friend hurts you and the friendship ends, it might be because Allah knew that friend wasn’t good for you.

Or if you’re dating someone and they dump you, it’s because Allah wants to protect you from continuing a life of sin.

And sometimes the painful situation is something we don’t see the point of, such as heartbreak caused by parents, children, or a spouse. This is why the ayah concludes, “Allah knows, while you don’t know.”

When something like this happens, we need to trust that whatever happens is the will of Allah and He wants what is best for us, even if we don’t know the wisdom behind it right now.

4. Surah al-Baqarah verse 186

“Whenever My servants ask about Me, indeed, I am near. I respond to the call of the supplicant whenever he calls upon Me.”

Allah is always listening, whether it’s early in the morning or late at night. We must believe that He hears our prayers and will respond respond in the best way.

It’s comforting to to know that we can have a direct relationship with our Creator at any time of day or night, regardless of what’s going on in our lives.

5. Surah Ra’ad verse 24

“Peace be upon you for what you patiently endured. And excellent is the final home.”

This is what the angels will say to us when we get to Jannah (Paradise), in sha Allah. These words should comfort us no matter how much pain we are in.

They remind us that whatever we are going through is not in vain, and also that it’s not going to last forever.

No matter how difficult of a situation we are in, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Someday, we will all be out of this temporary, imperfect world and living in everlasting bliss in sha Allah.
