Qur’anic concept

سَكِينَة

Sakīna

Sakīna is the tranquility that God places in the hearts of the believers — calm in the face of fear, steadiness in moments of trial. The word occurs six times in the Qur’an, always in the context of God bestowing composure on His servants.

From the Qur’an

"It is He who sent down tranquility into the hearts of the believers that they would increase in faith along with their [present] faith."

— Qur’an, Al-Fath 48:4

"…Allah sent down His tranquility upon him and supported him with angels you did not see…"

— Qur’an, At-Tawbah 9:40
