Answer:

The term Sakeena in the quran

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah Baqarah Verse 248:

248 And (further) their Prophet said to them: "A sign of his authority is that there shall come to you the Ark of the Covenant with (an assurance) therein of ‘Sakeena’ (tranquility) from your Lord and the relics left by the family of Musa and the family of Haaron carried by Angels. In this is a symbol for you if ye indeed have Faith."

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 48 Surah Fath Verse 4:

4 It is He who sent down ‘Sakeena’ (tranquility) into the hearts of the believers that they may add Faith to their Faith; for to Allah belong the forces of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 48 Surah Fath Verse 18:

18 Allah's Good Pleasure was on the believers when they swore fealty to thee under the tree: He knew what was in their hearts and He sent down ‘Sakeena’ (tranquility) to them and He rewarded them with a speedy victory.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 48 Surah Fath Verse 26:

26 While the disbelievers got up in their hearts heat and zealotry, the heat and zealotry of ignorance, Allah sent down His ‘Sakeena’ (tranquility) to His Messenger and to the believers and made them stick close to the Command of self-restraint; and well were they entitled to it and worthy of it. And Allah has full knowledge of all things.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter Surah 6 Al-Anaam Verse 96:

96 He it is that cleaves the daybreak (from the dark): He makes the night for ‘Sakanan’ (rest and tranquility) and the sun and moon for the reckoning (of time): such is the Judgment and ordering of (Him) The Exalted in Power, The Omniscient.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 9 Surah Taubah Verse 26

26 But Allah did pour His ‘Sakeena’ (tranquility) unto His Messenger and on the believers and sent down forces which ye saw not: He punished the disbelievers: thus doth He reward those without faith.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 9 Surah Taubah Verse 40:

40 If ye help not (your leader, it is no matter): for Allah did indeed help him: when the disbelievers drove him out: he had no more than one companion: they two were in the cave and he said to his companion "have no fear for Allah is with us": then Allah sent down his ‘Sakeena’ (tranquility) upon him and strengthened him with forces which ye saw not and humbled to the depths the word of the disbelievers. But the Word of Allah is Exalted to the heights: for Allah is Exalted in Might, Wise.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 30 Surah Rome Verse 21:

21 And among His Signs is this that He created for you mates from among yourselves that ye may ‘Taskunu’ (dwell in tranquility) with them and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts); verily in that are Signs for those who reflect.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,
