Hawzah News Agency (Qom, Iran) – The Qur’an is the very word of God; a complete record of the exact words revealed by Almighty God through the Archangel Gabriel to His Last Messenger. This holy book is not just a torch of guidance for afterlife, and if you look at it close enough, you would find important massages for living in this life as well.
Here we are going to present some informative Articles about how you can relate on the verses of Qur’an in real life which potentially would lead to solving your personal and social problems and having a very spiritual and beautiful life by accepting God’s commands:
Sometimes in hard situations, the best things you can do is reciting the Qur’an or talking to yourself. When you are tempted to be in a bad mood, go look in the mirror and say, “Listen here, self. You need to cheer up. Get your joy back; get your peace back. I am not going to live this day defeated.” You have to stay on the offensive. Do not wait until you have been down for three days before you decide to do something about it. The moment you feel that discouragement trying to come on you, rise up and say, “No, I am not going there.” You wake up in the morning and feel the blahs, you say, “Nope; that is not for me. This is going to be a good day. It is the day the Lord has made.
Do you know being in a sour mood because of your problems, does not make it better; it makes it worse. It puts more pressure on you. It makes you more miserable. A better approach is to say, “God, I am turning this situation over to You. I am not going to let it steal my joy. I know You are in control. And at the right time, I believe You will not only turn it around, but You will bring me out better off than I was before.” That is how you rule over negative feelings. It is simply a decision that you make every day where you have to dig your heels in and decide that your feelings are not going to dictate what kind of day you are going to have. You can rule over your emotions and choose to be in a good mood in spite of how you feel. You can choose what kind of day you are going to have. You can choose how you are going to live your life.
Some of you, maybe in the natural, have a good reason to be down and discouraged, but do not allow yourself to go there. When you are stable in spite of what is come against you that is one of the best ways to show God that you trust Him; that you are faithful. The faithful are those to whom the people say, “All the people have gathered against you; so fear them.” but that only increased them in faith, and they say, “God is sufficient for us, and He is an excellent trustee.” (Qur’an; 3:173)
