The Quran as a healing for the heart

[ahmad]

Yusuf Ali translation*

[10:57]
O mankind! there hath come to you a direction from your Lord and a healing for the (diseases) in your hearts,- and for those who believe, a guidance and a Mercy.

[17:82]
We send down (stage by stage) in the Qur'an that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe: to the unjust it causes nothing but loss after loss.

[41:44]
Had We sent this as a Qur'an (in the language) other than Arabic, they would have said: "Why are not its verses explained in detail? What! (a Book) not in Arabic and (a Messenger an Arab?" Say: "It is a Guide and a Healing to those who believe; and for those who believe not, there is a deafness in their ears, and it is blindness in their (eyes): They are (as it were) being called from a place far distant!"


As salam alaykum,

I wanted to know your opinions regarding the above verses. What does the term "healing" really mean. Healing from Shirk for instance ? And what verses fall under the category of healing verses (Or does this refer to all the Quran).

Thank you in advance.
