Below are 15 motivational verses from the Quran for when we need it, and of course we need it all the time in our lives.
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.
I’ve carefully selected a few verses here, so if you are feeling sad, lonely or are experiencing some difficult times I hope these verses will help you lift yourself.
