The Power of Quranic Recitation in Spiritual Healing
Allah mentions in the Quran:

Quranic recitation is not just about reading words; it is an act of devotion that brings:
✔️ Inner peace and tranquility

Listening to or reciting the Quran slows down the heart rate and helps the body relax naturally. Studies have shown that hearing Quranic verses can lower stress levels and reduce anxiety. The rhythmic and melodious recitation has a calming effect on the nervous system.
2. Strengthens Faith and Hope
When we feel lost or overwhelmed, reciting verses of hope and patience reminds us that Allah is always with us. Surahs like Al-Fatiha, Ar-Rahman, and Al-Duha inspire faith and give us strength to overcome life’s struggles.
