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.

On the inside of every one of us is a blessed, prosperous, victorious person. This person is free from addictions and bad habits, confident and secure in God. God almighty tells us: “establish yourself to the system of monotheism. It is the inclination that God has nurtured the people on. There is no changing in God's creation”. (Qur’an; 30:30) However, just because that is in you, does not mean it is going to come out automatically. God Almighty says: “And a soul and what He made, and inspired it with [discernment between] its virtues and vices, one who purifies it is felicitous, and one who betrays it fails”. (Qur’an; 91: 7-9)

 As Qur’an says, we should purify and develop ourselves. Think about the little caterpillar. It is very plain, nothing special about it. At a certain point, it forms a cocoon. But Little by little it changes. One day, it begins to push out of the cocoon. Before long, it goes from being one of the plainest insects to being one of the most beautiful. Instead of having to crawl on the ground and squirm around, it can now fly wherever it wants to go.

 Why do not you break out of your cocoon? Believe that God is at work in you. Believe that He has good plans for you. Believe that He will complete every good work that He has started in your life. Just trust in God and choose to follow His word which is life to your soul.
