Hawzah News Agency(Qom, Iran) - 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.

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: “God almighty will be happy over one lost sinner who returns to Him as one who has lost something and became happy of its finding”.  So I have good news for you today. No matter where you are in life, what problems you may struggle with, no matter what you have done in the past, or what someone else has done to you, God almighty is able to wipe the slate clean. 

 You may be in a relationship that has been dead for years. You may be feeling the pain of negative words spoken over your life, or maybe you have spoken to someone else and you wish you could take back. Maybe there are things in your past that you think cannot be forgiven. On the other hand, maybe you feel guilt for some past failure or resentment and no forgiveness toward someone who has wronged you. Whatever your need may be let God meet it! Allow the power of His forgiveness to sweep across your heart and life and make everything new. God says: “Say: O My servants who transgressed against themselves, do not despair of God's mercy. For God forgives all sins. He is the Forgiver, the Merciful”. (Qur’an; 39:53)

 God loves you and wants to have a relationship with you. He wants you to experience hope, peace, joy and victory in every area of your life. Just turn to your Lord. Do not live under the condemnation and guilt of sin. We can live the abundant life that God talked about — a life full of hope, a life of purpose, a life of unlimited potential. Qur’an says: “Seek forgiveness from your Lord, and then repent to Him; He will make you enjoy an enjoyment until a predetermined period. And He gives His grace to those who are of grace”. (Qur’an; 11:3)
