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.

 Almighty God Himself has chosen you. People may leave you out. People may overlook you. But always remember, the One who matters most chooses you. That means you were not randomly chosen. God, on purpose, looked at you and said, “I choose him. I choose her. They are My servants. That is who I want on My team.” He has said: “I am placing a successor on earth”. (Qur’an; 2:30) So we are the successor of our Lord.

People may tell you, “You are just too small”, but God Almighty says, “You are just the right size for Me.” People may say, “You are not talented. We do not need you. You do not have anything to offer”, but God says, “You are fearfully and wonderfully made. You are talented. You are creative. You are smart. You are intelligent. You are amazing.” After God created us He said: “So blessed is God, the best of creators!” (Qur’an; 23:14) Moreover, said about himself: “who perfected everything that He created” (Qur’an; 32:7) and said: “We certainly created man in the best of forms”. (Qur’an; 95:4)

 Whenever we feel that sting of rejection, instead of getting down on ourselves and losing our sense of value, our attitude should be, “I may be disappointed. This may hurt, but I am not going to sink down into self-pity and start thinking that there is something wrong with me. I know the One who matters most, the One who controls the universe, handpicked me. I may not have been chosen by the coach, the boss, or a friend, but I was chosen by the Most High God; and He says that His plans for me are for good and not evil, to give me a future and a hope.”
