The Impact of Hope in an Individual's Worldly and Afterlife Happiness In Islamic texts, many effects of hope have been enumerated, of which we mention the most important ones here: 1- Factor of human movement and effort In the teachings of Islam, hope is a driving force toward perfection; as God says in the Holy Quran, verse 110 of Surah Al-Kahf: «فمن کان رجوا لقاء ربه فليعمل عملا صالحا؛پس آن کس که اميد به لقا ِ ِ ِ ِ پروردگارش دارد،لازم است کار نيکو کند».
Regarding hopeless people, God says in Surah Al-Isra, verse 83: «و اذا انعمنا علي الانسان ِ اعرض ونا بجانبه و اذا سه لشر کان يؤسا ؛When we bestow blessings upon a human, he turns away ِ ِ ِ ِ (arrogantly) from it, and when evil reaches him, he becomes very hopeless » meaning these individuals are so lacking in capacity that with a slight affliction, they lose their peace and despair and hopelessness rule over their hearts; they become so flustered that one would not believe these are the same former individuals.
