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.

 The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. He sees things in you that other people cannot see. God looks beyond the surface, beyond your behavior, beyond what somebody said about you and sees your incredible value. He says in His holy book: “Surely, the most honorable among you in the sight of God is the most righteous. God is Knowledgeable, Expert”. (Qur’an; 49:13)

 Sometimes people will try to push you down or make you feel insignificant. Sometimes our own thoughts will try to convince us that we do not measure up. You may think I have messed up. I have blown it. I have failed. I am all washed up.” No, God still sees more in you. He loves you and you have chances. God almighty says: “Did they not know that it is God who accepts repentance from His servants … and that God is the Pardoner, Merciful”. (Qur’an; 9:104)

  Almighty God does not just see what you are; He sees what you can become. You may have made some mistakes, but God still sees victory on the inside of you. People may have tried to push you down, but God sees you rising higher. Now, you have to do your part, and get rid of those condemning thoughts. Get rid of what somebody has spoken over you and start renewing your mind. Down deep, start believing that you are redeemed, restored, talented and valuable. Even if you have made mistakes, believe that there is more in store. “Do not despair of God's mercy. Indeed no one despairs of God's mercy except the faithless lot”. (Qur’an; 12:87) God’s not finished with you. He looks beyond the surface and sees your potential. Stay in step with Him and watch His plan for your life unfold.
