In the Name of Allah, The All-Merciful and Most Merciful




                        transgressed against yourselves, do not despair
                        of His mercy. Truly, Allah forgives all wrong ac-
                        tions. He is the Ever-Forgiving, the Most
                        Merciful.” Turn to your Lord and submit to Him
                        before punishment comes upon you, for then
                        you cannot be helped. (Surat az-Zumar, 52-54)
                        The verses above say that everything will turn
                    out well for a person who obeys Allah’s command

                    and thinks positively; a person who despairs, how-
                    ever, will be alone and without help. Allah tells in
                    the Qur’an that to lose hope in Him is to reject Him.
                        Those who reject Allah’s Signs and the
                        meeting with Him, such people can de-

                        spair of My mercy, such people will
                        have a painful punishment. (Surat al-
                        Ankabut, 23)
                        Do not despair of solace from Allah. No
                        one despairs of solace from Allah except
                        for the unbelievers. (Surah Yunus, 87)

                        A general characteristic of people who do
                    not know the Qur’an’s moral teachings is that they
                    become arrogant, due to the belief that they make
                    their own happiness and comfort. When something
                    bad happens to them, they immediately look for

                    someone to blame. However, Allah’s justice is end-
                    less and every bad thing comes from that particular
                    person. The All Merciful and Most Merciful desires
                    what is good for His servants, but people want to
