بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم

Think of being in a deep, dark ocean. A giant fish has swallowed you. There is no light. No way out. This is what happened to Prophet Yunus.

But Allah saved him.

Why?

The Qur'an tells us it was because Yunus (A.S) was always connected to Allah.

فَلَوۡلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحِينَ - لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطۡنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ

"And had he not been of those who regularly exalt Allāh, He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected. 📚As-Saffat 37:143-144

You see!

Allah (swt) says if Yunus had not done this, he would have stayed inside that fish until the end of the world.

This story is a powerful message for you and me.

Our lives can feel like that dark ocean. We have sadness, sickness, and worries that feel like they are swallowing us.

What is our way out?

What is our rescue?

*The Qur'an is our rescue*.

Yes.

Remembering Allah (swt) by reading the Qur'an and listening to its beautiful audio regularly is our lifeline. It is the strong rope that Allah throws to us to pull us from any darkness.

This is not just a story. It is a strong proof that we must hold onto the Qur'an, every single day, until the last day we breathe on this Earth.

Now,

For those who are troubled in one way or the other and asking Allah for a cure, the Qur'an is the best medicine. But you must use it correctly. Yes. Here are some hard truths you must know:

(1) You Cannot Mix the Cure with Poison.

If a doctor gives you medicine, you do not mix it with dirty water. You use clean water. It is the same with the Qur'an. You cannot be listening to music and then listen to a little Qur'an and expect a quick or full healing. Yes. Music is like dirty water for your soul. To get the full benefit, you must give your ears and heart only to the pure words of Allah. It is the clean water that washes your soul.

(2) Healing Comes Faster to the Obedient.

Think of your connection to Allah like a pipe. Sinful acts are like rust and dirt blocking the pipe. When the pipe is clean, water (Allah's mercy and healing) flows quickly. When you stop the bad deeds you know are wrong, you clean the pipe. Your prayers and Qur'an reading and listening become more powerful, and healing can come faster.

(3) Be Patient. Allah is Testing Your Sincerity.

Sometimes,you read and listen to the Qur'an for many days, but your problem remains. Why?

Allah (swt) is not ignoring you. HE is testing you. HE wants to see if you are a reliable servant.

Think about it: if a child gets a gift as soon as he asks, he might stop being good. He was only good to get the gift.

Allah (swt) knows some people will stop reading the Qur'an if they get what they want too fast. So, HE may delay your success to see if your love for HIM is real. HE wants to see if you will keep going, even if the reward is slow or delayed.

Do not give up. Show Allah (swt) that you are a true and reliable servant. Show HIM that you will hold onto the Qur'an no matter what.

My People,

Qur'an is your personal rescue, just like it was for Prophet Yunus (A.S). And you don't need to understand the meaning of what you are reading or listening. You just need to listen and read. Let the Qur'an do the work.

Let the Qur'an audio play in your house from the time you go to bed till Fajr prayer time.
