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 messages 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:

 You may face situations that seem like they could bury you - the loss of a loved one, bad news concerning your health, a divorce. Those negative thoughts bombard your minds telling you, “It is over. You have seen your best days. That set back is going to taint your future. That lay-off is going to ruin your career. That illness is always going to limit you.” It is easy to feel like you have been buried, but what is interesting is the only difference between being buried and being planted is the expectancy of what is going to happen next. When you put a seed in the ground you do not say, “I am burying this seed, “you say, “I am planting this seed, “because you know it is coming back. You face difficulties but you have the seed of Almighty God on the inside. He breathed His life into you. He says, “I breathed into him of My spirit.” (Qur’an; 15:29)

 When you go through disappointments, you are in tough times. You might feel like you had been buried, but the fact is, you have simply been planted. That means you are coming back. Moreover, you are not just going to come back; you are going to come back better, increased and stronger. What was meant for your harm, God will use to your advantage. You go in as a seed, but because of the life of God, you come out blossoming, producing even more fruit. Just believe in God and His messenger and strive in the cause of God with your money and your lives. This is the best deal for you, if you only knew….  You will receive what you love: a victory from God and an incursion that is close at hand. (Qur’an; 61: 11-13)

 Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and is planted, it will not produce fruit. You can have a seed lying on the shelf for a lifetime; it will never become what it was created to be until you put it in the ground. Its potential will never be fully realized until it is planted. As long as it is up on the shelf where it is comfortable, where it does not have to stretch, does not have to deal with any adversities that potential will remain locked up dormant inside. Only after it has been planted, and it goes through the process of germination - the outer shield breaks off, the new growth springs forth - that is when it will blossom and produce more fruit.
