Zeal And Enthusiasm Described In The Qur'an - ENGLISH - 1. Edition
June 2003
Zeal, in general terms, is used to express enthusiastic interest and devotion to a cause, and sincere diligence in accomplishing it. Some people exert efforts to be rich, to have a brilliant career or a prestigious position, while others try to appear superior to earn prestige, respect and praise. Enthusiasm produces a distinctive and strong character in a person which would be unlikely to appear in the absence of zeal. However, the zeal of most people is not long-lived because it lacks strong grounds. The only people who never lose the enthusiasm in their hearts throughout their lives are believers because the source of their zeal is faith in Allah and their major goal is earning the good pleasure of Allah, His mercy and Paradise.
This book discusses the zeal of believers that continues to increase until the end of their lives. Its purpose is to encourage all Muslims to be more zealous by showing how great a blessing zeal is as an attribute which strengthens believers. The reader will understand the important secret that makes one successful even under the most difficult conditions. Furthermore, he will learn of the bounties that have been promised to those who never lose their zeal and who meet difficulties by putting their trust in Allah. This book encourages people to comply with His directive:
"Hasten to forgiveness from your Lord and a garden [i.e., Paradise] as wide as the heavens and earth" (Surah Ali 'Imran, 3: 133)
