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:

 I am sure if you were to ask the seed, it will say, “I do not want to be planted. I am lonely in the dark by myself. It is dark. It is uncomfortable.” It feels like it has been buried - cannot see any light, people walking on top of it....  The truth is, it is not buried; it is only planted. When it is in the ground, in that dark time, something supernatural starts to happen. Although the dark is hundred times of powerful, possibly a thousand of times heavier, it cannot hold the seed in. I can imagine the dark, when it feels something stirring, it says to the little seed: “What do you think you are doing? You cannot get out. I am much more powerful than you.”

 The seed says, “No, no, no. I know a secret – I am not buried, I am planted. I may be down right now but it is temporary. I am coming back. I have got the life of God in me.” The dirt says, “What are you talking about? You are nothing compared to me. You do not have a chance.” Something in that seed rises up even stronger and says, “No, you cannot keep me down. I have comeback power in my DNA. I will rise again. God’s help is indeed near. (Qur’an; 2:214)  God is sufficient for us, and He is an excellent trustee.” (Qur’an; 3:173)

 Sure enough one day, that little seed breaks the surface of the earth. It smiles and says, “I told I was coming out.” It is no longer buried, no longer hidden and alone. No longer has people walking on top of it. It has a new beginning. Its potential is being realized. As time goes by, instead of being a little seed buried in the ground, it grows into a beautiful plant, producing all kinds of bright, beautiful flowers. What happened? It went through the process of being planted. Had to go through some dark times, some lonely nights; had to push some dirt out of the way; it seemed like it would never see bright day but it just kept pressing forward, and eventually it became everything God created it to be.

 Almighty God says, “Do you suppose that you shall enter paradise though there has not yet come to you the like of what befell who went before you? Stress and distress befell them and they were convulsed until the apostle and the faithful who were with him said, “When will God’s help come?” Look! God’s help is indeed near!” (Qur’an; 2:214)
