What Does the Quran Say About Worry?

Worry is mentioned in the Quran in these verses:

 

[5:105] O you who believe, you should worry only about your own necks. If the others go astray, they cannot hurt you, as long as you are guided. To God is your ultimate destiny, all of you, then He will inform you of everything you had done.

[9:24] Proclaim: “If your parents, your children, your siblings, your spouses, your family, the money you have earned, a business you worry about, and the homes you cherish are more beloved to you than God and His messenger, and the striving in His cause, then just wait until God brings His judgment.” God does not guide the wicked people.

[9:40] If you fail to support him (the messenger), God has already supported him. Thus, when the disbelievers chased him, and he was one of two in the cave, he said to his friend, “Do not worry; God is with us.” God then sent down contentment and security upon him, and supported him with invisible soldiers. He made the word of the disbelievers lowly. God’s word reigns supreme. God is Almighty, Most Wise.

[9:64] The hypocrites worry that a sura may be revealed exposing what is inside their hearts. Say, “Go ahead and mock. God will expose exactly what you are afraid of.”

[12:13] He said, “I worry lest you go away with him, then the wolf may devour him while you are not watching him.”

[19:5] “I worry about my dependants after me, and my wife has been sterile. Grant me, from You, an heir.

[20:40] “Your sister walked to them and said, `I can tell you about a nursing mother who can take good care of him.’ We thus returned you to your mother, that she may be happy and stop worrying. And when you killed a person, we saved you from the grievous consequences; indeed we tested you thoroughly. You stayed years with the people of Midyan, and now you have come back in accordance with a precise plan.

[20:77] We inspired Moses: “Lead My servants out, and strike for them a dry road across the sea. You shall not fear that you may get caught, nor shall you worry.”

[21:49] The ones who reverence their Lord, even when alone in their privacy, and they worry about the Hour.

[21:103] The great horror will not worry them, and the angels will receive them joyfully: “This is your day, that has been promised to you.”

[29:33] When our messengers arrived at Lot’s place, they were mistreated, and he was embarrassed by their presence. But they said, “Have no fear, and do not worry. We will save you and your family, except your wife; she is doomed.

[40:26] Pharaoh said, “Let me kill Moses, and let him implore his Lord. I worry lest he corrupts your religion, or spreads evil throughout the land.”
