Hawzah News Agency-The Qur’an is the principle source of every Muslim’s faith and practice, but its basic theme is the relationship between God and His creatures and provides guidelines for a just society, proper human conduct and equitable economic principles. For next 100 days we are presenting some short articles on ethical issues that have been written based on the verses of Qur’an.

Qur’an tells us about the story of Joseph. Joseph and his father -Jacob- were very close. In fact, Joseph was Jacob's favorite child. Brothers of Joseph decided to kill him. They took him away and cast him into a well.  At that point, Jacob thought Joseph was dead and lived very sadly until he found out that Joseph was indeed alive and living in Egypt. And after a while Joseph whom they want to kill, became a king. God almighty says about this: “That is how We established Joseph in the land that he may settle in it wherever he wished. We confer Our mercy on whomever We wish, and We do not waste the reward of the virtuous”. (Qur’an; 12: 56)

 Friend! That is the way our God is. He has shifts in your future that will put you in a position that you did not earn. Just as with Joseph, God is going to say, “I am going to move them from the back to the front; from being unqualified to being suddenly qualified; from being looked down on or disrespected to being esteemed and respected”.

 God is saying to you: “I am going to bless you on purpose. I am going to move you up. I am going to accelerate your dreams. I am going to give you what you did not deserve. I am going to shift you into a position that you could have never gotten to on your own.” Now, get ready for it. Stay in faith, stay in the Word, obey His commands, stay faithful and be pious and patient, as God almighty said: “For anyone who reveres God and is patient, then God will not waste the reward of the good doers”. (Qur’an; 12:90) Be sure that God is going to shift you into a place of greater blessing. Remember that almighty God said: “We confer Our mercy on whomever We wish, and We do not waste the reward of the virtuous”. (Qur’an; 12:56)
