2. INTRODUCTION
We all need a little motivation from time to time, because life can
sometimes bring happiness as well as sorrows. Allah (swt) who has
created us knows our nature very well. It is why you’ll find many
verses in the Quran that deal with our natural inclinations and
bring us peace when it’s most needed.
Even our beloved Prophet (saw) needed motivation at times, I’ll
list a few motivational verses from the Quran so that we can
ponder over it and bring the contentment back in our hearts and
minds.
It is a fact that the remembrance of Allah brings peace in the
heart. It is better to ponder over the verses to bring us even closer
to Allah (swt). You can look up tafseer books to see in which
context the verses were revealed to get a better understanding.
