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 few days we are presenting some short articles on ethical issues that have been written based on the verses of Qur’an.

Our God is so loving, so merciful, so faithful and so kind. He himself said: “God is most kind to His servants”. (Qur’an; 2:207) Even when we become too discouraged to believe, God almighty does not forget what He promised. Maybe you feel discouraged. Maybe your life has not turned out the way you had hoped. Maybe you prayed, believed and worked hard, and it did not work out. But do not be disappointed, “God is with you. And He will not waste your efforts”. (Qur’an; 47:35)

Remember that not only does God remember you, He remembers the promise He placed within you. He knows what He has destined you to do. You may have already said, “Forget it; it is never going to happen.” The good news is that you do not have the final say. God has the final say, “And to God is the sovereignty of heavens and earth, and God is capable of all things”. (Qur’an; 3:189) And He promised that “I do not waste the work of any worker from among you, be you male or female”. (Qur’an; 3:195)

That dream you gave up on, God did not give up on. He remembers you, and He is with you, leading you and guiding you to the place of victory. Just be patient and trust in God and as He says: “ponder in the creation of the heavens and the earth” (Qur’an; 3:191) and invoke to your Creator with this words: “Our Lord you did not create this without purpose, be You glorified, spare us the retribution of the Fire. Our Lord, forgive us our evil deeds and remit our sins, and take us with the obedient ones. Our Lord, and grant us what You have promised through Your messengers, and do not embarrass us on the day of resurrection. You do not break the promise”. (Qur’an; 3: 191-194)
