Sakina

सकीना
said sa-kee-na
also written: Sakeena
Meaning

Tranquillity, the peace and calm sent down by God upon the believer's heart.

Usage & notes

Sakina is the God-given serenity that settles the believing heart amid trial. Iqbal sets this rooted calm of faith against the restlessness of doubt, a stillness that fortifies rather than enervates.
