No doubt, Allah's Commands are issued for the benefits of individuals

No doubt, Allah's Commands are issued for the benefits of individuals and societies. A pious man and woman, in order to gain these benefits, should always obey Allah's commands. Imam Baqir (a.s.) narrated ; "The most favorable work in front of Allah is that work which is continuously carried out by the believer, however insignificant it may." (Beharul Anwar; vil 71..pg. 219)

Of course, man , through his exercise and continuity of performing his task, attains growth; or else, he would stay in one status, which is a complete loss. In this regards Imam Sadiq (a.s.) has stated: "Anybody who spends two consecutive days identically, he is a loser; If anybody's work art the end of the second day is worse than the work of the first day, he is cursed; anybody who does not improve is a loser, as well. And death is better than life for a loser." (Birahul Anwar; vol. 17..pg. 173)

It is on the basis of this fact that Imam (a.s) orders his son and his other spiritual sons to obey Allah's commands so that the spirit of development and attaining genuine benefits and the obedience of Allah's commands are kept alive in children."
