Readings from the Quran [9]: A Healing Balm

Say: 'Truth has come and falsehood has departed. Falsehood was bound to be routed.'

That which we have revealed in the Quran is a healing balm and a blessing to all true believers,
although it only adds to the wrongdoers' prospects of damnation.

Often when we bestow blessings on someone, that person turns away and behaves proudly.
But when evil comes, that same person plunges into despair.

Say: 'People act according to their own natures. But the Lord knows best who is more rightly guided.'

They put questions to you about the Spirit. Say: 'The Spirit is at my Lord's command.
Only a small amount of knowledge is given to you.'

If We pleased, We could take away that which We have revealed to you.
Then you have nothing to protect you against Us!
But your Lord is merciful, and His grace to you is truly abundant.

Quran: 17.81-87
