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.

 Holy Qur’an talks about some people who they have no fear. “It is the one who surrenders himself to God, while doing good, he will have his reward with his Lord. There will be no fear over them, nor will they grieve”. (Quran, 2:112) In another verse says: “Those who spend their money in the cause of God, then they do not follow what they have spent with insult or harm; they will have their reward with their Lord, there is no fear over them nor will they grieve”. (Quran; 2:262) Or says: “Indeed those who have faith, do righteous deeds, maintain the prayer and give the zakat, they shall have their reward near their Lord, and they will have no fear, nor will they grieve”. (Quran; 2:277)

 Qur’an talks about how when any two of us agree, it shall be done. That is a promise that when we stand in faith with another believer, God will do what He said. Well, I believe that principle is true even in the negative. When the enemy puts a thought in your mind, if you agree, then your agreement is what gives it the power to come to pass, but if you do not agree, you turn it around.

 So do not come into agreement with the fear. If you do not agree, the only way it can happen, is if God gives it permission. Moreover, if God does, you can rest assured it is not going to work against you. It is going to work for you. Trust in God and pay attention to what you are coming into agreement with and do not agree with fear. Agree with His Word and embrace the good things He has in store for you. Know that “The friends of God will indeed have no fear nor will they grieve”.  (Quran; 10:62)
