Mentioning that being satisfied with today is the result of one’s own behavior, Hojjatul Islam wal Muslimeen Dr. Fa’ali declared that if one avoids his today wrong behaviors towards a positive change, certainly a better future will wait him.
Emphasizing on the fact that whoever wants to have a better condition should start with himself, he said that for any positive change, one should have spiritual and Quranic growth in himself in order to be able to change others as well.
The head of the life style of Al-Yasin cultural and artistic institute pointed to the verse “مَا يَفْعَلُ اللَّهُ بِعَذَابِكُمْ إِنْ شَكَرْتُمْ وَآمَنْتُمْ، وَكَانَ اللَّهُ شَاكِرًا عَلِيمًا”** and emphasized that thanksgiving is an instance of a good deed and wisdom, and based on that one will receive a lot of goodness. Therefore, one should pay more attention to that.
