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:

 If you are going to do anything important in life, there will be oppositions, setbacks, delays, critics. Many people get discouraged and think, “Why this happens to me? Why is God testing just me? Why He asks me to do this?” For example Qur’an says about some people that when fighting was prescribed for them, behold, a part of them were afraid of people as if fearing God, or were even more afraid, and they said, “Our Lord! Why did You prescribe fighting for us? Why did You not respite us for a short time?!” (Qur’an; 4:77) It is because you are taking new ground, because you are making progress. When you have big dreams you are going to have big challenges and you will face big problems. You are going in deep water and when you go to deep water, you will see the wonders of God.

 In the ocean on the surface, the water is always changing, depending on the wind, the tide, what time of year, even what time of day. It can be very smooth and calm. Later in the day, it can be rough and choppy. When the wind is strong and the tide is just right, there can be ten-foot waves. What is interesting is if you go down about 30 feet deep, the water never changes. It is calm and still as can be. That is the way you need to be. In life, on the surface, things will always be going on like waves. That is just life. However, deep down in that spirit person you have calmness and peace in your spirit.

 If you were an average person then you would have average problems, but here is the key; you are not average. You are not in the shallow waters. God put seeds of greatness in you. He has destined you to leave your mark on this generation. You cannot expect ordinary problems. You are a history maker. You are a world changer. People do not talk about average people. They talk about extraordinary people.

 You are a major person and you have a major destiny. The enemy would leave you alone if you were not a major threat. He would not bother you if you did not have something amazing in your future.

 We serve an extraordinary God. He can get you to where you are supposed to be. When you are in the deep waters, you are not wasting your time try to convince everyone to like you; win over all your critics; prove to your family members that you really are okay. Everybody is not going to like you; to understand you. Your friends may not celebrate your success. Shake it off and run your race.  Say, “God!” Then leave them to play around in their impious gossip. (Qur’an; 6:91) and turn away from them and put your trust in God. God is enough for your trust. (Qur’an; 4:81)
