سُوْرَةُ يُوْنُسَ
Surah Yunus (10) — Ayah 57
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ قَدْ جَآءَتْكُم مَّوْعِظَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَشِفَآءٌ لِّمَا فِى ٱلصُّدُورِ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿57﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
O mankind! There has come to you a good advice from your Lord (i.e. the Qur’ân, enjoining all that is good and forbidding all that is evil), and a healing for that (disease of ignorance, doubt, hypocrisy and differences) which is in your breasts, - a guidance and a mercy (explaining lawful and unlawful things) for the believers.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani
Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
O people! There has come to you an admonition from your Lord—a healing for what is in the hearts [71], and guidance and mercy for the believers.

The Four Qualities of the Quran and Their Order: Admonition, Healing, Guidance, and Mercy:
In this verse, four qualities of the Noble Quran are mentioned. The first quality is admonition (mau‘izah). Mau‘izah refers to such advice that diverts a person's attention from worldly engrossment towards the remembrance of Allah and the Hereafter, and through it, tenderness arises in the hearts, disinterest in the world, and attachment to the Hereafter is created. The second quality is that this Quran serves as a healing for the diseases of the hearts, such as the beliefs of shirk and disbelief, envy, malice, selfishness, miserliness, greed, etc. Whoever recites the Quran and acts upon it, these ailments are automatically removed from his heart. The third quality is that the Quran provides complete guidance in all aspects of human life; it determines the individual rights of every person and prescribes such laws that neither the rights of the individual, society, nor government are violated, nor is there any injustice to anyone else. And its fourth quality is that whoever acts upon the Quran, or whichever society or government follows it, Allah's mercies descend upon them in this world as well as in the Hereafter. As is evident from the following ahadith.
1.
Honor and Humiliation Through the Quran:
Sayyiduna ‘Umar ؓ says that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Allah, the Exalted, will grant honor to many people through this Book (the Noble Quran), and will humiliate many people through it."
[مسلم۔ کتاب فضائل القرآن، باب من یقوم بالقرآن ویعلمہ]
2. Sayyiduna Zayd bin Arqam ؓ says that the Prophet ﷺ said: "In the Book of Allah there is guidance and light; whoever holds firmly to it remains upon guidance, and whoever neglects it goes astray." And in another narration from Zayd bin Arqam himself, the words are: "This Book is the rope of Allah; whoever acts upon it will be upon guidance, and whoever abandons it will be upon misguidance."
