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.

 As a father, there is no one I would rather bless than my own children. There is no one I would rather see increase and rise higher in life. If my own children never acted like I wanted to bless them and were always afraid to ask me for something, or acted like they were bothering me or intimidated, it would break my heart. I want them to be bold and come to me. I want them to ask for the desires of their hearts.

 We have a tradition that Holy Prophet (sawa) says: “People are God's family”.[1] So it is the same way with our heavenly Father. It gives Him pleasure to give His children His Kingdom. It brings a smile to His face.

 Know that God almighty loves you with an everlasting love. He longs to be good to you. He wants you to come boldly to Him. It gives Him pleasure to reveal Himself to you. He wants you to make your requests known. He said: “I am near answering the calls of those who call to Me. So let them respond to Me and believe in Me that they may be guided”. (Quran; 2:186)

 Trust that when you call on Him, He will answer. He will show you His love and lead you in everlasting life. Just ask Him faithfully and be sure that He will forgive you and give you what is the best in the proper time. So be patient and hopeful.

Noble Words
