Hawzah News Agency (Qum, Iran) - The destiny of man holds out a bright future. It is true that human life is in large part accompanied by inequality and hardship, but this will not always be the case. Human history is moving towards a better future, one in which a comprehensive system of justice will prevail. According to the Quran, the pious will rule over the earth:
 

And verily We have written in the Psalms, after the Reminder: My righteous slaves shall inherit the earth. (Sura al-Anbiya, XXI: 105)
 

And also:
 

God hath promised such of you as believe and do good works that He will surely make them to succeed [the present rulers] in the earth, even as He caused those who were before them to succeed [others]. (Sura al-Nur, XXIV: 55)
 

Therefore, after a protracted battle between truth and falsehood, the future will behold the ultimate victory of the truth, however long it may take. As the Quran says:
 

Nay, but We hurl the Truth against falsehood, and it doth break its head and lo! it vanisheth.(Sura al-Anbiya, XXI:18)
