Sakina
Meet your heart where it is, in the words of the Qur'an.
Take a breath. There is no wrong answer.
Kept only in this browser, on this device. Nothing is sent anywhere, and no one else can see it.
If your heart is in real danger, please speak to someone you trust today — a family member, an imam, or a doctor. The Qur'an consoles the heart, and it also sends us to one another.
Sakina is the stillness that descends on a heart that was not still a moment ago. This site does one small thing: it lets you name how you are feeling, and then puts a passage of the Qur'an in front of you that was chosen for that state, with a short note on why.
It is not a fatwa service, a tafsir, or a substitute for a teacher. The notes beside each passage are an orientation — a hand pointing at the verse — and nothing more. For rulings, and for the meaning of a verse in its full context, go to people who have studied it. It is also not a substitute for medical or psychological care.
No scripture on this site was typed by hand. The Arabic is the Uthmani script; the English is the Saheeh International translation; the Urdu is Fateh Muhammad Jalandhry's. All three are retrieved once from alquran.cloud and stored with the site, so a page never depends on a network call to show you a verse. The recitation is by Mishary Rashid Alafasy, served by EveryAyah.
Taking one source's word for it is not the same as knowing. Every ayah that appears here is compared, letter by letter, against two further independent projects — quran.com and fawazahmed0/quran-api — and the build fails if any one letter disagrees. The three projects write the marks differently, as printed copies do; what is checked is the consonantal text beneath them. At the last run, all 120 ayat on this site agreed.
One thing that check caught: the source we pull from folds the Basmala into the text of the first ayah of a surah while still numbering it as though it were not there. Left alone, it would have appeared in the middle of two passages that begin at ayah 1. It is removed.
A translation is not the Qur'an. The Arabic is the text; the English and the Urdu are two careful readings of it by people who were working from a particular understanding, and they will differ from one another and from other translations you may know. Where a rendering matters to you, read the Arabic, and ask someone who can read it well.
Nothing leaves your device. There is no account, no analytics, and no server that hears what you typed. The tally on the home page — the states you have chosen before — lives in your own browser's storage, is visible only to you, and can be cleared with the button beside it.
Every feeling has a small, hand-picked list of passages behind it, in a deliberate order. When you write in your own words, the words are matched against those feelings in your browser — the sentence is never transmitted. Another passage moves you down the list. Nothing here is random, and nothing here is generated.
The link may be old, or the feeling may have been named something else.
