Quran Verses About Grief and Loss

لِكَيْلَا تَأْسَوْا عَلَىٰ مَا فَاتَكُمْ وَلَا تَفْرَحُوا بِمَا آتَاكُمْ ۗ وَاللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخْتَالٍ فَخُورٍ

In order that ye may not despair over matters that pass you by, nor exult over favours bestowed upon you. For Allah loveth not any vainglorious boaster,-

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالضُّحَىٰ

By the Glorious Morning Light,

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ

And by the Night when it is still,-

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ

Thy Guardian-Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.

وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ

And verily the Hereafter will be better for thee than the present.

وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ

And soon will thy Guardian-Lord give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well-pleased.

أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَىٰ

Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَىٰ

And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.

وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ

And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.

فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ

Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,

وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ

Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);

وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ

But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!

وَلَا عَلَى الَّذِينَ إِذَا مَا أَتَوْكَ لِتَحْمِلَهُمْ قُلْتَ لَا أَجِدُ مَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ تَوَلَّوْا وَأَعْيُنُهُمْ تَفِيضُ مِنَ الدَّمْعِ حَزَنًا أَلَّا يَجِدُوا مَا يُنْفِقُونَ
