Ruling on hitting female students

 

What is the ruling on hitting female students, whether it is to discipline them or make them work harder?.

Praise be to Allaah.

It is good for the teacher to be kind and gentle towards
young and old, but if the situation calls for discipline or a smack that is
not severe, that is permissible. It is the habit of the foolish to behave
badly and not show any respect, so there is a need for strictness and
strength that is more effective than kindness and gentleness. End quote. 

Shaykh ‘Abd al-Rahmaan ibn Jibreen (may Allaah preserve him)

And Allaah knows best.

She stopped watching movies then she watched a movie by mistake, and she is asking how she can stop watching them

 

I vowed that I would not watch movies, but I did not stipulate any particular type of movies. One year later I watched the movie that was not bad or indecent.


My question is: how can I stop committing this sin?.

Praise be to Allaah.

The ways in which you can give up watching movies: you can
achieve that by means of several things that were mentioned by the scholars
and educators, such as the following: 

1.    
Finding out about the shar‘i
ruling, which has been discussed previously in many answers.

2.    
Bearing in mind that Allah, may
He be exalted, is always watching and that He knows what is secret and is
even more hidden. One of the early generation was asked about what they did
that help them to lower their gaze and refrain from looking at haraam
things. He said: By knowing that Allah sees you more quickly than you see
what you are looking at.

3.    
Righteous friends who will
remind you if you forget and alert you if you are heedless. They are close
friends who love one another for the sake of Allah and you are brought
together in obedience to Allah, may He be exalted. Allah says
(interpretation of the meaning): “Friends on
that Day will be foes one to another, save those who kept their duty (to
Allah)” [al-Zukhruf 43:67]. That is the good companion whom the
Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) likened to the bearer of
musk. It was narrated that Abu Moosa al-Ash‘ari (may Allah be pleased with
him) said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)
said: “The likeness of a good companion and a bad companion is that of one
who carries musk and one who works the bellows. With the carrier of musk,
either he will give you some or you will buy some from him, or you will
notice a good smell from him; as for the one who works the bellows, either
he will burn your clothes or you will notice a bad smell from him.”

4.    
Keeping yourself busy with
things will benefit you in religious and worldly terms. You should have a
daily wird that you recite; memorize the Book of Allah; study some books by
the scholars or listen to them, and busy yourself with things that are
beneficial and serve the people and society.

5.    
Marriage, which is what the
Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) recommended to help lower
their gaze and guard chastity, as he said: “O young men, whoever among you
can afford it, let him get married, for it is more effective in lowering the
gaze and guarding one’s chastity. And whoever cannot afford it, let him
fast, for it will be a shield for him.”
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (4779) and Muslim (1400).

6.    
Always asking Allah to help
you, guide you and purify your hearing and sight. The best thing that a
person can do to rid himself of evil inclinations after taking the proper
measures is to turn to his Lord and ask Him to help him with that, to make
things easy for him and to purify his physical faculties. 

We ask Allah to enable you to do that which He loves and that
pleases Him. 

And Allah knows best.

Her husband only gives her maintenance, and he lives far away from her. Can she ask for a divorce?

 

Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allaah, 


I have been divorced (with talaaq) two times. The first time was because I asked my husband to give me and my children just one day each month when we could sit together, against his wishes and those of his family. The second time was because he loves another woman and he humiliates me in front of my children, and he shows favour to her and does not care about my feelings or the feelings of my children. He tells her that he loves her on the phone, where I can see and hear him, even though he is not married to her. Now he had traveled and left me alone with our children, and he has no connection with us apart from some money which he sends via his family.


 If I get divorced, will Allaah compensate me with something better and make me independent of means by His bounty, and will He compensate me for the wrongs that have been done to me by this hard-hearted man? Or will that mean that I am not content with the decree of Allaah? Do I have the right to have a husband with whom I can live in love, mercy and tranquility, or do I have to put up with living a life of humiliation, me and my children, for the sake of this monthly allowance that he sends via his family in order to humiliate me even further? Am I regarded as patient or as weak and broken because I have put up with this life for 11 years for fear of the word of divorce?.

Praise be to Allaah.
 

 

Firstly: 

Allaah has permitted a man to have several wives, and has
forbidden men to mistreat their wives. If a man wants to have more than one
wife, then he can keep the first wife on a decent and reasonable basis, or
he can let her go in a kindly manner. It is not permissible for him to keep
her married to him whilst forsaking her and not giving her her rights. It is
not permissible for him to be negligent with regard to his family and the
upbringing of his children. Plural marriage has not been prescribed in order
to destroy families, rather it is prescribed to build families and increase
their numbers. 

This forsaking of his wife and negligence is haraam for him,
even if he had another wife according to sharee’ah, so how about if he is
forsaking his wife and neglecting his family for an illegitimate reason such
as a haraam relationship and corrupt desires? 

Secondly: 

The wife has the right to ask for a divorce from her husband
if she cannot bear his bad treatment. This does not mean that she does not
accept the decree of Allaah. Indeed in some cases it may be haraam for her
to stay with a husband who commits major sins and whose children are not
safe from his evil influence and bad treatment. As divorce is allowed in
Islam and it may even be obligatory to ask for a divorce in some cases,
there is no need to think that this may go against belief in the divine will
and decree, because Allaah has decreed both marriage and divorce. 

The wife has the right to live with her husband and be
treated in a decent and reasonable manner, and to have a husband with whom
she can feel happy and who will be like a garment for her, so that there
will be love and compassion between them. This is the reason for which
marriage was prescribed, and if anything detracts from what we have
mentioned, then it is contrary to the reason for which marriage was
prescribed. 

Hence the husband should choose a woman who is
religiously-committed, and fathers and guardians should marry their
daughters and female relatives under their care to men who are
religiously-committed and of good character, because if the Muslim household
is established on the basis of the laws of Allaah, no wrongdoing or cruelty
will be seen in it. If a wife dislikes her husband for a legitimate shar’i
reason, then she can ask for divorce (talaaq) or can divorce him by khula’,
and if he dislikes her he can divorce her by talaaq and give her her rights
in full. He should either retain her on reasonable terms or release her with
kindness.  

If divorce takes place, then Allaah may decree that she finds
a good, righteous husband, as He says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“But if they separate
(by divorce), Allaah will provide abundance for everyone of them from His
Bounty”

[al-Nisa’ 4:130] 

Thirdly: 

Some woman stay and put up with their husbands because of the
possibility that Allaah may reform them, or so that he will remain in
contact with his children and take care of them and spend on them. If a long
time goes by and he does not reform or he mistreats his wife and children
too much, and she has sufficient money to spend on herself and her children,
then there is no point in her staying with him. Rather the right thing to do
is to rid herself of him so that she can live a better and more decent life,
and raise her children to obey Allaah and His Messenger (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him). 

You should take stock of yourself and repent to Allaah for
any sins or transgressions that you may have committed against the rights of
Allaah or the rights of your husband, or anyone else. Perhaps what has
happened to you may be a punishment for a sin that you have committed,
because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“And whatever of misfortune befalls you, it is because of
what your hands have earned. And He pardons much”

[al-Shoora 42:30] 

Think long and hard about your situation and how likely it is
that you may find a husband after him or live a peaceful life without him.
Consult people around you who are close to you and are sincere. I advise
you, if they agree with you, to divorce him if the situation is as you
describe in your question. So pray istikhaarah and ask Allaah for guidance,
and if you feel at ease with the idea of divorce then go ahead, and ask
Allaah to make you independent of means by His bounty. We ask Allaah to set
your affairs straight and to relieve your distress and reconcile between you
if that is better for you both. 

And Allaah knows best.

She adheres to the Sunnah and is being accused of being a fanatic, and she wants advice

 

I was a born muslim but other than praying i was ignorant of all the things now by the blessings of allah my eyes have open and i have started acting according to quraan and sunnah to my best ability but now i have lost all my friends who ar muslims too i had before they ar not very religious they dont much abt religion andi and my husband have become two aliens in my whole country my friends have stopped calling me too my father and my mother in law and sister in laws call us wahabees and my cousins too and mymother told that she doesnt have much time she doesnt care as long as all her children ar good and prayingmost poeple make fun of my hijaab too and its very sad i mean i live in a small island in indian ocean and everyone is muslims my country is rep of maldives i am very alone and sad here can u tell me what i should do i feel so lonely and alone and its very painfull when u lose everyfriend u have can u please give me a good advice on how i should act in this situation i have tried alot to tell my family too about sunnah and all the answer i got was u have lost ur religon u ar a whabee so its wahabees way .

Praise be to Allaah.

Firstly: 

We ask Allaah to relieve your distress and make things easy
for you, and to help you to obey Him and worship Him properly. Remember that
the alienation that you are feeling is a good sign for you, The Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Islam began as something
strange and will revert to being something strange, so glad tidings to the
strangers.” Narrated by Muslim (145). 

The word tooba (translated here as “glad tidings”) has many
meanings, such as goodness and honour, a great tree in Paradise, joy and
happiness, and many other meanings, all of which may apply here. 

Al-Sindi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: 

“Strange” means because its followers are small in numbers.
The basic meaning of ghareeb (stranger) is one who is far from his home. 

“And will revert to being something strange” means that few
will adhere to it and help others to do so, even if the Muslims are many.  

“to the strangers” means those who follow its commands. 

“Tooba” is derived from the word tayyib (good), and it is
interpreted as referring to Paradise or to a great tree that grows there. 

This indicates that supporting Islam and obeying its commands
may require the one who does that to leave his homeland and be patient in
bearing the hardships of being away from his homeland, as was the case when
it first began. 

Sharh Sunan Ibn Majaah (hadeeth
no 3986. 

Secondly: 

You have the best example in the Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). He brought light to his people,
but they insisted on remaining in the darkness of kufr and ignorance. They
accused him of being a sorcerer, soothsayer or madman, but he was patient in
calling them, and he did not get fed up of repeating his call, using
different methods of calling individuals and groups, calling in secret and
in the open, until he attained great success. Similarly, daa’iyahs who came
after him called the kuffaar to Islam, and called sinners to obedience, and
called innovators to the Sunnah. Many of them experienced hardship, distress
and difficulties, but that did not stop them from persisting in da’wah. Were
it not for that, Islam would not have reached your country, the Maldives! 

Think about these examples, and do what they did, and be
patient as they were patient, so that you may attain the pleasure of Allaah.
What you hear of mockery and being called “Wahhabis” was said by those who
came before them, and the fools still repeat it with regard to those who
promote the Sunnah, but that does not harm them or make them stop conveying
the religion of Allaah. 

Thirdly: 

In addition to being patient in calling people, we advise you
to select wise people among other women and your relatives to convey the
religion of Allaah to them and remind them of the truths of Islam, for if
people are happy to belong to Islam, that does not prevent them from
following the Sunnah, but there may be other obstacles that are preventing
them from coming to the path of truth, such as misguided scholars and
proponents of bid’ah, or specious arguments and whims and desires, and so
on. It may also be due to the fact that we are failing to convey the truth
of Islam to them, or we do not have wise ways of conveying it. 

You have to be gentle and patient, and select the wisest
people, and address them politely. Use different means such as audio tapes,
video lectures and books, and you may see some good results. 

Fourthly:  

Strive to make your house the focal point of this da’wah.
Start with your husband and children, so that this will become a house of
blessing for all people. Remember that our mother Khadeejah bint Khuwaylid
was the first one of this ummah to become Muslim, and she was the first one
to support the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in
conveying the message and calling her daughters to Islam. Her house was the
first house to become Muslim, and from it the call of goodness spread to all
corners of the earth, so be like her and follow her example. 

In the answer to question no.
9380 you will find more advice and
suggestions, which we hope you will read. There is no need to repeat them
here. 

And Allaah is the Source of strength.

She feels attracted to someone other than her husband

 

I am a married woman with kids.My husband treats me very well and takes care of me well.Recenetly one of his relatives a guy almost about 10 years younger than I am and I became very close and before I knew it he fell in love with me.I told him that its not on but his feelings for me grew and grew. I asked him to make Istikaara namaaz and ask Allahs guidance and he did so and he performed his namaaz thrice and all 3 times he got a positive answer with me.I dont see him but I know that since his a very decent boy and sincere. I have also grown to have feelings for him but I try and hide it all the time.Is it possible for me to make istikaara whilst married and also what do we do? Please make duaa for me and help me in this very diffcult situation as I dont want to cause any pain to my husband and my family.

Praise be to Allaah.

Allaah has caused men to be attracted to women, and women to
be attracted to men, and this inclination sometimes results in haraam
relationships such as zina, and sometimes it results in permissible
relationships such as marriage. Allaah has made the wife a covering for her
husband and has made the husband a covering for his wife. Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning): 

“They are Libaas [i.e. body-cover, or screen, or Sakan
(i.e. you enjoy the pleasure of living
with them)] for you and you are the same for them”

[al-Baqarah 2:187] 

One of the blessings that Allaah bestows upon some spouses is
that He creates love and compassion between them, and helps each of them to
do that which causes harmony to grow in the family and ward off disputes and
arguments. This is a very great blessing indeed, which is not appreciated by
anyone but those whose family relationships are disrupted and disputes and
arguments arise amongst them, which turn the marital relationship into an
unbearable hell. If that happens, each spouse starts to dream of a stable
family life, and the man wishes for a wife with whom he can live in peace,
and the wife wishes for a man with whom she can live in peace. 

From your question, it may be understood that Allaah has
bestowed all these blessings upon you, so what you should do is be grateful
to Allaah for this great blessing and strive to preserve it and the family
with which Allaah has blessed you, for millions of women wish that they
could be in the good situation in which you are, but you do not appreciate
its value. 

You should note that it is not permissible for a woman to
form a relationship with a non-mahram man. If she is married, then such a
relationship is even more haraam, because it is a transgression against the
husband’s rights and honour. 

Based on this, it is not permissible for you and this evil
lover to pray istikhaarah, because istikhaarah is only prescribed in cases
where it is not clear if the matter is good or bad, and the Muslim does not
know where his interests lie, so he prays istikhaarah asking that Allaah
will help him to attain that which is good if it is good, or divert it from
him if it is bad. But if a Muslim prays istikhaarah with regard to
disobeying Allaah or going against His commands, this is a sin for which he
has to repent to Allaah. 

To explain further: if a Muslim woman prays istikhaarah about
marrying someone other than her husband when she is still married to her
husband, then in fact she is praying istikhaarah about wrecking her home and
family, and praying istikhaarah about hurting her children, and praying
istikhaarah about divorcing a husband who is treating her well and taking
good care of her. So she is praying istikhaarah about betraying him and
stabbing him in the back by tearing apart his family, so that his home and
hers will be destroyed at her hands. She is praying istikhaarah about
responding to great kindness and good treatment with a great wrong and
denying the rights of one who has treated her well. 

All of these factors and many others apply to the istikhaarah
prayer that you offered. 

As for the positive result that you say your friend got,
undoubtedly this is a case of the shaytaan making following one's whims and
desires appear attractive. The Muslim should not pray istikhaarah about
doing something that is haraam, so how can he pray istikhaarah and claim
that he got a positive result?! 

Moreover, after praying istikhaarah the Muslim should resolve
firmly either to do it or not to do it. Whatever Allaah makes easy for him
is what is good, but if he waits until he feels good about it or sees a
dream and the like, these are usually illusionary matters on which no shar’i
ruling can be based. 

Based on the above, you should push away all whispers from
the shaytaan that have to do with this matter, and do not give evil any way
of reaching you or your family or children. You should realize that you have
fallen into a trap of the shaytaan, because he has made you attractive to
this young man and has made him attractive to you so that he may achieve
what is his greatest dream, namely the destruction of a stable, believing
Muslim family and the divorce of two spouses who love one another, and the
neglect of their children. 

Thwart the plans of the shaytaan by not letting this young
man destroy your life and your family. Cut off all means that may enable him
to continue to have any place in your life. 

One of the ways in which you can ward off these devilish
whispers is to ask yourself the following questions and answer them
honestly: 

1.    
If this young man is righteous,
then how can he accept to destroy the home of his Muslim brother and split
up his family?

2.    
If this person really loves
you, why is he striving to wreck your home and destroy your family? Does he
love you or does he love himself and is only looking out for his own
interests and desires?

3.    
If this young man were to get
what he wants and you were to get divorced from your husband – Allaah forbid
– what would be the fate of your children who are a trust about which Allaah
will question you on the Day of Resurrection?

4.    
What guarantee do you have that
this young man will treat you as nicely after marriage as he does now? It
should be noted that many marriages that are based on “love” are doomed to
failure after only a few months, because they are based on a weak
foundation, not on a foundation of pleasing Allaah and His Messenger
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).

5.    
Do you expect that trust will
last between you after you get married? If he loves you although you are
married, then how can you be sure that he will not fall in love with someone
else who is also married or not married? How can he trust you if you
destroyed your home for his sake? This pattern may be repeated when you are
married to him. These doubts will persist and will be a cause of anxiety for
both of you. You have both accepted something haraam and you have not
refrained from establishing a haraam relationship even though there is a
legitimate marriage contract between you and your husband, so who can
guarantee that it will not happen again? 

With regard to your request for a du’aa’, I ask Allaah, the
Most High, the Almighty, by His grace and favour, to make goodness easy for
you and to ward off all evil from you, and to continue to bless you and your
family with stability and love, and to keep you and your husband and
children safe, and to ward off from you the whispers of the shaytaan and his
making falsehood attractive. 

And Allaah knows best.

Is it permissible for a father to force his daughter to work in a mixed environment?

 

Can a father force his daughter to work in a mixed environment?.

Praise be to Allaah.
 

 

Working in mixed environments is not free of the risk of some
haraam things happening, such as looking, being alone with a person of the
opposite sex, or feeling attracted. Hence the scholars have issued fatwas
stating that it is haraam, based on what usually happens. It says in
Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah (12/156): 

Mixing of men and women
in schools and elsewhere is a great evil and has serious implications for
people’s religious and worldly interests. It is not permissible for a woman
to study or work in a place where men and women mix, and it is not
permissible for her guardian to allow her to do that. 

Based on that, the father has no right to force his daughter
to work in a mixed workplace. If he forces her to do that then she does not
have to obey him, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) said: “There is no obedience in sinful matters, rather obedience
is only (required) in that which is good and proper.” Narrated by
al-Bukhaari, 7257; Muslim, 1840. 

This daughter must explain to her father the dangers of
working in a mixed environment, and that it is haraam. She should remind him
of his duty to protect his family and save them from the Fire, and she
should do so in a wise manner and with beautiful preaching.  

And Allaah knows best.

 

Her father mistreats her and her mother resents her, and this has affected her relationship with her husband

 

I got married two years ago. My husband – praise be to Allaah – fears Allaah with regard to the way he treats me, but I have a psychological complex because of a father who did not fear Allaah with regard to me, my siblings and my mother, which created resentment in my heart and in my siblings’ hearts towards him. Even though I have got married and moved away from that horrible life, I cannot help but be upset because of my mother’s and siblings’ suffering. They are still suffering and that affects the way I treat my husband who respects me, but his patience sometimes runs out when he sees me so sad most of the time and he thinks that I like to be miserable. What should I do? Also, my siblings and I cannot respect my father because of the way he has treated us; what should we do to rid ourselves of our resentment towards him? We try to respect him, but he does not respect anyone and he suffers from a complex whereby he hates everyone who is better than him, and he loves to show off and to stand out, i.e., he wants to show people that he owns a great deal even though he does not own anything, rather he is in debt. I hope that you can help me to solve this problem.

Praise be to Allaah.
 

 

Firstly: 

With regard to your father, you have to keep on advising him
and reminding him of what Allaah has enjoined upon him with regard to
himself and to his family. 

You have to try different methods of advising him. It may be
hard for him to hear it from you, but do not despair of reminders and
exhortations reaching him by way of your relatives or his friends. You could
also let him listen to some useful tapes. 

Secondly: 

You have to fear Allaah with regard to your husband. You
should not bring the worries of your family into your husband’s house and
place them on his shoulders, especially since he treats you well and you do
not see anything from him that upsets you. What you have to do is to
appreciate him and treat him kindly. This is what Allaah commands you to
do. 

Thirdly: 

No one is free of diseases – except those on whom Allaah has
mercy. The fact that your father likes to show off and to appear to be
better than others means that you have to be compassionate towards him, not
resent him. The fact that he has treated you badly and is still doing so
means that you should show mercy towards him, for if he dies and meets his
Lord in that state, then he will meet Him with many sins. 

Hence you and your siblings and family have to look again at
your relationship with your father and your attitude towards him, for Allaah
has commanded us to treat parents well and honour them, even if they call us
to shirk and kufr. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“But if they (both) strive with you to make you join in
worship with Me others that of which you have no knowledge, then obey them
not; but behave with them in the world kindly, and follow the path of him
who turns to Me in repentance and in obedience. Then to Me will be your
return, and I shall tell you what you used to do”

[Luqmaan 31:15] 

Ibraaheem (peace be upon
him) debated with his mushrik father politely, as Allaah tells us
(interpretation of the meaning): 

“And mention in the Book (the Qur’aan) Ibraaheem
(Abraham). Verily, he was a man of truth, a Prophet.

42. When he said to his father: ‘O my father! Why do you
worship that which hears not, sees not and cannot avail you in anything?

43. ‘O my father! Verily, there has come to me of the
knowledge that which came not unto you. So follow me, I will guide you to
the Straight Path.

44. ‘O my father! Worship not Shaytaan (Satan). Verily,
Shaytaan (Satan) has been a rebel against the Most Gracious (Allaah).

45. ‘O my father! Verily, I fear lest a torment from the
Most Gracious (Allaah) should overtake you, so that you become a companion
of Shaytaan (Satan) (in the Hell-fire).’

46. He (the father) said: ‘Do you reject my gods, O
Ibraaheem (Abraham)? If you stop not (this), I will indeed stone you. So get
away from me safely (before I punish you).’

47. Ibraaheem (Abraham) said: ‘Peace be on you! I will ask
forgiveness of my Lord for you. Verily, He is unto me Ever Most Gracious’”

[Maryam 19:41-47] 

Look at the etiquette of this Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) and how he addressed his mushrik father who
was threatening his Muslim son. In this there is a great lesson for those
who suffer a similar problem with their fathers. 

Fourthly: 

With regard to the grief that you feel, it should not make
you stop doing things or prevent you from doing acts of worship, or make you
fall short in doing that which Allaah has enjoined upon you, such as the
duties that Allaah has enjoined upon you towards your husband, or the duty
to call your father to Allaah. 

We advise you to recite a du’aa’ for protection, and another
for healing. 

The du’aa’ for protection is as follows: 

It was narrated from Anas (may Allaah be pleased with him)
that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to
say: “Allaahumma inni a’oodhu bika min al-hammi wa’l-hazani wa’l’ajzi
wa’l-kasali wa’l-jubni wa’l-bukhli wa dala’ il-dayn wa ghalbat al-rijaal
(O Allaah, I seek refuge with You from worry, grief, incapacity, laziness,
cowardice, miserliness, from being heavily in debt
and from being overcome by men).” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6008.  

The du’aa’ for healing is as follows: 

It was narrated that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood said: The
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“If a person who is afflicted by anxiety or sorrow says: ‘Allaahumma inni
‘abduka wa ibnu ‘abdika wa ibn ammatika naasiyati bi yadika maadin fiyya
hukmuka ‘adlun fiyya qadaa’uka as’aluka bi kulli ismin huwa laka sammayta
bihi nafsaka aw ‘allamtahu ahadan min khalqika aw anzaltahu fi kitaabika aw
asta’tharta bihi fi ‘ilm il-ghaybi ‘indaka an taj’al al-Qur’aana rabee’a
qalbi wa nooar sadri wa jalaa’a huzni wa dhahaaba hammi (O Allaah, I am
Your slave, son of Your slave, son of Your female slave, my forelock is in
Your hand, Your command over me is forever executed and Your decree over me
is just. I ask You by every name belonging to You with which You have named
Yourself, or, or You have taught to any of Your creation, or You have
revealed in Your Book, or You have preserved in the knowledge of the Unseen
with You, that You make the Qur’aan the life of my heat and the light of my
breast, and a departure for my sorrow and a release for my anxiety)’, then
Allaah will take away his anxiety and sorrow, and will replace it with
joy.” 

It was said: “O Messenger of Allaah, should we not learn it?”
He said: “Yes, whoever hears it should learn it.” 

Narrated by Ahmad, 3704; classed as saheeh by Shaykh
al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, 199. 

And Allaah knows best.
