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:

All around us are hurting people who need our love and encouragement. Do not miss the miracle of the moment. Do not be too busy, or insensitive to the needs of those around you. Be willing to be inconvenienced. Be sensitive and pay attention to those around you, your friends, your coworkers and your relatives. Listen to what they are saying. You should not miss opportunities to do good whenever situations come across your paths to bless people. Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his pure progeny) said, “Who start his day and do not care about the others, he is not a real Muslim.”

 He who is gracious to a poor, and help people, it is as he is doing it unto the Almighty God and lends to Him. Then the Lord will repay him for his good deed and pay him back with interest. Therefore, Qur’an says, “Who is it that will lend God a good loan, that He may multiply it for him and that there may be a noble reward for him?” (Qur’an; 57:11) You may not be able to give money, but you can baby-sit that single mom’s children. Why do not you give her a break one night? Tell her: “You go do something special for yourself. Here is a gift certificate. You go up to the mall. Our family is going to keep your children tonight.” If you see one of your friends wearing the same clothes all the time, why do not you step up to the plate and say, “Let me buy you a new suit or two, or, take this gift certificate and go get yourself some new clothes.” Maybe you and your family go out to eat every weak; why do not you take a single parent family along with you? Better yet, be a mentor to one of those young children that does not take a lot of money. It just takes time and love. That just takes somebody that cares, somebody that is willing to make a difference.

 I heard a story about a young boy that lived in the inner city. He was about eight years old and was very poor. One cold day, he was looking in the window of a local store admiring a pair of tennis shoes. As he stood there, cold and barefooted, a woman came along and asked, “Young man, what are you doing staring so intently in this window?” Shyly he said, “Well, I was just sort of praying and asking God if He would give me a new pair of tennis shoes.” Without hesitation, the woman took him into the store and very gently and lovingly washed off his cold dirty feet. She put a brand new pair of socks on his feet. Then she told him to pick out three new pairs of tennis shoes. The boy could not believe it. He was so excited! He had never owned a new pair of shoes. He had always just worn old hand-me-downs. After she paid for the purchase, the woman handed the shoes to the child. “Enjoy your shoes, son“, she said. The little boy looked at her in amazement. Nobody had ever taken that kind of interest in him.

 Friend, you are never more like God than when you give. You are never more like God than when you take time for people, than when you do something to bless someone else. You are here to become like God. You’re Lord said to the Angels, “I am placing a successor on earth.” (Qur’an; 2:30) You are His successors so you should be like Him, like your Lord.
