Hawzah News Agency (Qom, Iran) -The Quran 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 Quran.

 Qur’an tells us that faith is love. “(O, prophet) Say: If you love God then follow me so God will love you and forgive your sins. God is Forgiver, Merciful”. (Quran; 3:31) God almighty is perfect, and His love is perfect. His love toward you is steadfast; it is unchanging. His arms are always stretched out toward you. Know that there is no fear in His love, but perfect love drives out fear. As He says: “Know that, verily on The Devoted Friends of God there is No fear, nor shall they grieve”. (Quran; 10:62)

 Sometimes people are not sure how God feels about them. They think He might be mad at them, but Qur’an tells us just the opposite. God has not mad at you; He is madly in love with you. It does not matter what you have done or where you have come from, God’s arms are open to you. He is longing to show you His goodness and grace. It is His kindness that leads you to repent and change your ways. He is always ready for you to come to Him. He 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”. (Quran; 39:53)

 Just open your heart to Him and receive His perfect love. Let it drive fear out of your life and make you new. Let His love wash over you and build confidence in you. Because of His great love, we can boldly come to Him and receive the mercy and blessings He has in store. Try to know Him more, and to know His love. Ask God to show you His ways and fill you with His peace.
