Examination of the Concept of Calmness in the Holy Quran

The holy Quran, as a guide for man in all aspects of his life, has been concerned with all needs of humans and has discussed them in full. One of these needs is the need for having tranquility and calmness in the course of life. This need has assumed enormous significance these days to the extent that considerable effort is put in its fulfillment and a lot of money is spent on it. The Quran has not been inattentive to this important human need and has addressed all of its levels and kinds completely and step by step, for all stages of man's life. One type of tranquility discussed in the Quran is God-inspired composure. The Quran describes this composure with precision and considers it to be emanated from God, the Transcendent, and bestowed upon specific believers at specific moments. The present paper aims at examining this particular type of God-inspired tranquility as well as the moments when God grants such composure to believers.
