Why Do I No Longer Feel Peace (Sakinah) When Reciting the Qur'an?
Question
Assalamualaikum...previously when i used to be depressed i used to get immense sakinah after reciting Quran..but now my sakinah is lost...nothing is bringing peace.but ibadah is supposed to bring peace...why am i not getting sakinah?
Islamic Ruling & Answer
Walekumussalam,
Not feeling tranquility (sakinah) does not mean that worship has become ineffective; rather, it is due to the state of the heart and a test.
Therefore, do not lose hope continue your worship, and In shฤโ Allฤh, peace will return.
