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.

 Oftentimes, people set their focus on what God has done in the past. He parted the Red Sea; He manifested the staff of Moses into a serpent; He sent down for the disciples of Jesus son of Mary a feast from heaven and fed thousands of people with it; He gave Zachariah, a son whose name was John when his wife was barren, and he was advanced in age.

 Yes, God has performed many amazing miracles throughout history, and it is important that we give Him praise and glory. But at the same time, we also have to look forward to what God wants to do in our lives today. He almighty says: “O you who have faith! If you help God, He will help you and make your feet steady”. (Qur’an; 47:7) God wants to support us in our today life. So do not “think evil thoughts about God”. (Qur’an; 48:6) And “be patient! God's promise is indeed true”. (Qur’an; 40:45) 

 Remember, God is a God of increase. “God has promised those of you who have faith and do righteous deeds that He will surely make them successors in the earth, just as He made those who were before them successors, and He will surely establish for them their religion which He has approved for them, and that He will surely change their state to security after their fear”. (Qur’an; 24:55) Where you are today is not where you are supposed to stay. He has greater levels of His favor and blessing in store for you. Dare to dream big! Dare to keep a God-sized vision in front of you! Dare to take hold of every blessing the Lord has in store for you!
