QS. Maryam [19]: 19-28, due to the influence of the accusation sentence, is the story of the Prophet Moses and the magicians. QS. T}āh{ā [20]: 57-70, which caused events carried out by witches, and the story of the Prophet Ibrahim seeking God QS. Al-An’ām [6]: 75-83 caused by human nature to want to prove the presence of God. The story that tells of a state of anxiety is the story of the Prophet Muhammad, who missed the revelation. QS. Al-Duha [93]: 1-5, which is due to allegations that Allah abandoned the Prophet and the story of Aisyah losing the necklace. QS. Al-Nūr [24]: 11-18, caused by accusations without evidence.

Each story has different conditions, and each trouble has its solution. Allah provides solutions to the Prophet and pious people in the Qur’an in various forms of expression. However, it is focused on one point: drawing closer to Allah and keeping away things that can damage the heart from envy and other bad qualities.
