In human society, and especially in our society, poverty and backwardness usually provide the causes of suffering and pain for people, especially women. In our modern society, women are oppressed and imprisoned within the walls of their homes under the name of Sharia, culture, patriarchy, and jealousy. They have been deprived of all rights. They have neither the right to education, nor the right to work, nor the right to wear clothes of their own choice, they have been deprived of all the rights and entitlements that God has given to women. If we look carefully, God has created women for a pur

But the book of Ruth is a different story told in the Bible. A drought in the land of Israel was so severe that Elimelech and his family were forced to leave their home and migrate. Then Naomi, the wife of Elimelech, faced many hardships. When she left her homeland, she had a husband, children, and security, all of whom later died. Ruth loved her sister-in-law Naomi. Recently widowed, she asked Naomi to let her go wherever she went. She said from the bottom of her heart, “Your people will be my people, and your God my God!” The book of Ruth is also a story of God’s grace in difficult circumsta
Treating women appropriately is not only about respecting them, but it also gives you character. Respecting women means accepting human equality, valuing independence and individuality, and appreciating their roles in society and family. This important principle is rooted in human morality and men's views of women. Men and women were created by God. So we must respect God's creation. We should not look down on women and girls, because women are the Centre of the home and family. We should listen carefully to women's words and ideas, and respect and love them for their gender. : At home, in the
Explore how prayer establishes a personal bond with God. Delve into the teachings of Jesus on genuine prayer versus performative acts.
Hannah had been barren for many years, and this brought her great suffering, especially because Elkanah’s other wife, Peninnah, was harassing her. However, she did not turn away from God, but went to the tabernacle of the Lord at Shiloh and prayed with tears and humility. Hannah is an outstanding example of faith and trust in God in the Bible. Her story is told in the first chapter of 1 Samuel. Instead of despairing, she took refuge in God. She was willing to offer the most precious gift she had received from God again. After Eli the priest blessed her, she went away in peace.** The Bible says
Nafisa is not the only girl who has been prevented from continuing her education. There are thousands and millions of young and talented girls like Nafisa living in our country who are now deprived of education. All of them suffer the same pain that Nafisa has suffered. Unfortunately, these same factors force girls like Nafisa, who have sensitive souls, to despair. Of course, despair does not cure any pain, except that it ruins a person’s life. Let’s think a little about the existing realities and the negative social consequences of such actions. When life loses its meaning for a young girl wi
Kissing in the Bible, the contact with the human body is more in the framework of the ritual laws of the people of Moses, rather than the contact directly causing the person to mourn. Anyone who touches a human corpse is ritually "impure" for seven days. This impurity did not mean being sinful or morally impure, but rather a ceremonial state that required purification to return to worship. The Bible also recommends that death be treated with respect and proper ceremony. To show consolation and sympathy to the bereaved. In the New Testament, Jesus touched the dead bodies several times, such as
Abrogation is a common misconception about God's Word, but the Scriptures affirm its everlasting truth. Insights from Isaiah and Psalms highlight the unchanging promise of God, encouraging believers to trust in His eternal Word.

Prayer, crying, pain, secrets, and human needs are always time to God; but the message of the Bible is that God sees human tears and gives peace and healing. It can be seen that King Hezekiah was the only God-fearing king throughout the history of Judah. But how much this one person influenced history. Because of Hezekiah's faith and prayer, God healed him and delivered his city from the Assyrians. Dear listener: You too can be influential, even if your faith makes you part of the only true God, it can be effective in any situation. How good it is to repeat this prayer like Hezekiah in the n
In the Bible, the process of healing depression and overcoming the darkness of death involves a spiritual and practical process that occurs through knowing the truth, believing in the victory of Christ, and asking for peace. The Word of God sees deep depression and dark thoughts as the result of captivity to darkness and the lies of Satan and offers the following strategies for breaking its power. The proclamation of the truth of the Word: replacing negative and hopeless thoughts with the verses and promises of the Bible. The Bible teaches that we must renew our minds with the truth of the Wor
The Pharisees considered a person’s wealth to be proof of his righteousness. Jesus had astonished the crowd by telling a story in which the poor man was rewarded with a wound and the rich man was punished. The rich man did not go to hell because of his wealth, but because he wanted his wealth for himself. He did not feed Lazarus; he did not take him into his home or think about his health because he was hard-hearted. It is not the amount of money we have that matters; it is how we use it. The rich can be generous or stingy, and the poor can be the same. How do you feel about your wealth; or do
The kingdom of God is the rule of God over His people in creation, established through Christ in the New Testament and now in operation in the world. More precisely, the kingdom of God is the spiritual rule of God over the hearts and lives of those who follow Him. The kingdom of God is also used in another sense in the Bible: the actual rule of Jesus Christ on earth during His future thousand-year reign. The kingdom of God has many aspects. God is the ruler of the universe; therefore His kingdom is universal. The kingdom of God also includes repentance and the new birth, by which He prepares t
The Word of God clearly teaches that death is not the end of human life. How beautifully and faithfully Job expresses it, “I know that my God lives, and that he will stand at the last days on the earth; and after my skin is destroyed, yet after my body I shall see God.” Yes, the Bible does not limit human life to this world. Man, apart from his body, has an aspect that remains after death and enters into eternity. The Bible calls this eternal aspect of man the soul. Solomon does not deal only with the body and sorrow. He encourages us to rejoice in the Lord every day, but to remember that eter
The life of a follower of Christ is like a runner who aims to win the prize. A Christian does not waste his energy on trivial and meaningless matters, but on the contrary, he forgets what is behind. It is just as the Apostle Paul considered all his achievements and his background as worthless. He does not look back. He has been freed from his past mistakes and sins and now does not allow the sins that have been washed away by the blood of Christ to hold him captive again. It is futile to look back and regret the past. The follower of Christ is like a runner or a football player. He only looks
When will the world end? When will the Day of Judgement come? What will that world be like? What will heaven and hell be like? Just as man believes in a beginning for his universe and life, he also believes in an end for it. Deep down, he feels eternity and feels that death is not the end of his existence. He knows that if a man's life is limited to this material world, everything becomes meaningless and completely aimless for him. That is why man always looks to the future and searches for the meaning and purpose of life, especially trying to understand suffering and injustices, beyond the bo
Divorce refers to the legal and spiritual end of a marriage and the separation of spouses from each other. As a result of divorce, the mutual rights and obligations that existed between the couple at the time of marriage are lost. Divorce usually occurs when a marriage weakens, and there is incompatibility and tension between the spouses. However, God's plan and will is that once a man and a woman are married, they stay together. God hates divorce. We should therefore strive to avoid divorce. God's blessing is in marriage, not in divorce.
People are not only healed from physical illness through the name of Jesus Christ, but more importantly, their souls are also saved from the spiritual sickness of sin. If the Jewish leaders persist in rejecting Jesus, they will realise that they have rejected the only way to eternal salvation. “There is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” Salvation is not possible through anyone else. It is only through faith in Christ that we can be saved. That is why Christians have the command to share this good news with everyone. We hope that the people of our land, Afghani
The Bible shows that death was not the inevitable fate of man. The Bible says that death became part of man's life system when he rebelled against God, and his nature became corrupt and depraved. Death is the punishment for sin. Wasn't it a natural thing for man? No, rather, it is a manifestation of God's wrath and judgement, and a sign of man's condemnation and curse. A question has been asked: If death is the result of sin, why do believers in Christ, who have been washed by His blood, also die? Since all nature has become corrupt, the body of believers is also considered a part of this natu
Almighty God created women to be suitable companions and soulmates for men. A woman is the best colleague and partner for a man. A woman should be the recipient of love and affection, not treated with hatred and anger. A corollary is that in a society where women do not participate, there will be no well-being and contentment. Women not only play a significant role in maintaining and strengthening the foundation of the family, but they also raise children, create peace in the home, and even manage the finances and social affairs of the family. With social and cultural changes, the role of wome
Teaching teenagers responsibility is the key to independence, increasing self-confidence, and ensuring success in their future lives. This skill moves them from dependence to independence and helps them develop a purposeful and capable personality. Responsibility means that the young person understands that their life does not happen by chance. Every decision, every action, and even every laziness today creates their tomorrow. A responsible young person is someone who takes their studies seriously, respects time, helps their family, and even treats their friends carefully. They understand that
If a joke is healthy, it cheers up the atmosphere, but when it involves mocking, belittling, or laughing at the weaknesses of others, it is no longer a joke; it becomes psychological abuse. A mocking joke is laughing at someone's appearance, manner of speaking, mistakes, poverty, accent, or problems. Sometimes young people target someone in order to make people laugh. They may say, "We were just joking!" But for the other party, this joke is a real wound. When a young person is repeatedly mocked, he begins to believe that he is truly worthless. This false belief greatly reduces his self-confid
