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

 Can you remember the time when you first discovered a big dream in your heart? Maybe you were determined to excel in your career, excel as a parent, or even excel in your walk with the Lord. You probably started out strong, but maybe things got a little difficult and did not happen as quickly as you would have liked. At that point many people decide, “Let’s just settle here. It is not exactly what we wanted, but at least, it is good enough.”

 Know that you were made for more than good enough! Maybe things have not worked out the way you planned, but now is not the time to stop and settle. Know that as almighty God says: “He committed in your service all that is in the heavens and in the earth; all from Him. In that are signs for a people who reflect”. (Qur’an; 45:13)

 Now is the time to dig your heals in and begin again. God has so much for you in your future. Just trust in your Lord and know that He loves you. He has told us: “once you are resolved, put your trust in God. Indeed God loves those who trust in Him” (Qur’an; 3:159). If you have settled in any area of your life, take that first step by lifting your eyes to the Lord. Let Him renew your strength. Let Him make things new in your life. Trust that His Word is directing your steps. Thank Him and worship Him because He is making all things new in your life.

Noble Words
