Meaning and lessons

What Quran 13:28 means, in brief.

Those who believe and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allah. Indeed, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest. Ibn Kathir explains that the hearts of believers become calm and content with Allah's remembrance, and pleased with Him as their protector and helper.

The ayah answers those who kept demanding a miracle (13:27): Allah guides to Himself whoever turns to Him. The next ayah promises those who believe and do good a good end. Scholars include the Quran itself in this remembrance, since Allah calls it adh-dhikr (15:9), as well as tasbih, praise and dua.
