Rights of Allah or the Worship Acts (Haqqullah Ibadah). | for everyone |
Rights of Allah or the Worship Acts -Haqqullah Ibadah
The first thing about which a person will be questioned is prayers (Namaz). Did he say his prayers in time¡ Did he serve (rightly) this pillar of Islam and the Legacy of prayers , or did he recite it to show off. After this people will be questioned about Fasting (siyam), pilgrimage (Haj), Zakat, Khums, the Holy War (Jehad) etc. and then the righful recipients will catch hold of their shirts (and ask for their rights).
Questioning about deeds. | for everyone |
Questioning about deeds.
It is said in the Qur'an: "And most certainly we will also question the Apostles". (surah-al -A'araf : 6), that "we had sent you to guide"¡ They will reply, "O our Lord we have not left even an atom's weight of Your message to be passed on to them". They will be asked, "who are your witness"¡ They will reply, " O Allah You are our witness and besides Thee is Mohammad (S.A.W.S.), as said in the Qur'an, "And thus we made you a medium (just) nationthat you may be the bearers of witness to the people and (that) the Apostle may be a bearer of witness to you". (surah-al-Baqarah : 143)
It the same way it will be asked to prophet Isa (A.S.), "O Isa son of Mariam Did You say to men, Take me and my mother for two gods besides Allah"¡ (surah-al-Maidah : 116). Prophet Isa will tremble (with fright) due to Allah's Glory and reply, "O Allah, if I had ever told them I would surely have known it. But I had always said that, "surely Iam a servant of Allah, He has given me the book and made me a prophet". (surah-al -marium: 30). He once worship Him who created me and you.
Then their people will be questioned, "Did your prophet not remind you of this day of Judgment"¡ They all will reply, "surely they did so". Then they shall be questioned about the blessings sent to them by Allah and as to how they spent it "Then on that day you shall most surely be questioned about the blessings". (surah-al -Takasur: 8). Did you thank Allah for His bestowing His blessings on you, or you rebelled¡ It is stated that the blessings of Allah referred to here means the love of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.S.) and His progeny (A.S.).
Imam (A.S.) asked Qatada, "what do you (sunnis) interpret the following verse (Ayah), 'Then on that day you shall most surely be questioned about the blessings.
Surah-al -Takasur : 8) He replied, "It means that on the day of Qayamat we will be questioned about the food and drink that we consumed in this world". Imam (A.S.) replied, Verily Allah is far beyond this, so as to question anyone about this. If you invite someone for food to your house do you then question him as to how much he ate"¡ Qatada replied, "No, but then what does this blessing means"¡ Imam (A.S.) replied, "The blessing referred to here is the love of us Ahlulbait (A.S.)"`. It will be asked as to how did you treat the Ahlulbait (A.S.), did you love them and follow them, or you disobeyed Allah by bearing grudge towards them. "They recognize the favours of Allah, yet they deny it". (Surah-an-Nahl: 83)
Regarding sustenance it will only be asked as to how he earned it whether lawfully or unlawfully. Why did he squander it or spend it on unlawful means, "I kept asking from you but you kept deaf ear. The wealth was My wealth, and the poor were My children, and their questioning (from you) was My questioning".
Shaikh Sadooq relates that on the day of Qayamat man will not be able to move an inch till he is questioned about four things it on: (1) the way he spent his life, (2) As to how did he wear out his youth, (3) About the wealth, as to where he got it from and in what way he spent it, and (4) And about the love of us the Household (Ahlulbait) of prophet.

Incident of Ehbat and Takfeer. | for everyone |
Incident of Ehbat and Takfeer.
It is written in trustworthy narratives that in the former days there lived two brothers. One was a believer in the unity of Allah (Tawheed) and the other a polytheist and a worshipper of idols. They both lived in the same house, the believer lived on the ground floor and his (non-believer) brother on the top one. The non-believer was wealthy and lived a lavish life, while the believer was poor and passed his days in hunger and poverty. Sometimes the non- believer would tell his brother, "If you prostrate before the idols and accept them as your Gods, I will off half of my wealth with you. Why do you wish to live such a hard and bitter life. Come and prostrate before my idols so that both of us may enjoy life together". The believer would answer, "why do you not fear Allah and the day of Qayamat. The idols happened many times and days passed bye. Whenever they met the same conversation took place between them.One night the believer was sitting in the courtyard of his house when he smelt the cooking of delicious food from his brother's house. He said to himself, "Till when will you keep worshipping Allah and glorifying His name¡ when even after such a long time you have not had a good dress to wear, nor a soft and comfortable bed to sleep on. You have turned old due to eating loaves of dry bread, and your teeth cannot chew them anymore. Verily my brother speaks the truth, let me go and prostrate before his idols and feast upon the delicious food and enjoy myself. He got up and started ascending the stairs leading to his brother's place and accept his pagan religion. There his brother too was engrossed in deep thoughts and wondered, "I fail to understand the reality of idol worship, and it has no benefit as such. Verily my brother speaks the truth, I should go and accept his true religion and worship only one Allah". He too got up and started descending the stairs to go to his brother's place. Both brothers met each other on the stairs and exchanged their thoughts.
At that moment Allah ordered the Angel of death (malekul maut) to remove the spirits of both of them. Hence they both died, and whatever good deeds the believer (brother) had performed in his life were transferred to the account of the non-believer (brother) who had left his house with the intention of professing the true faith. And whatever bad deeds the non-believer (brother) had done in his life time were likewise transferred to the account of the believer who had left his house with the intention of abandoning the faith. The believer's entire life was spent in performing good deeds but died a death of infidelity, while the non-believer spent his entire life sinning yet died a faithful. The above incident is the best example of turning from the right (Ehbat) and expiating for sins (Takfeer).
Hence Oh believers, shaitaan is your sworn enemy. He is on the constant move (till your last moment) to turn you away from the Right path (siratal mustaqeem). Put yourself in the habit of righteous by performing good deeds frequently worshipping Allah so that you may not fall prey to the evil intentions of shaitaan, and thus remain steadfast on the Right path.

Wasting of Good deeds | for everyone |
Wasting of Good deeds (Ehbat) and Expiation of sins (Takfeer).
"And (as for) those who disbelieve, for them is destruction, and He has made their deeds ineffective. That is because they hated what Allah revealed, so He rendered their deeds null". (Surah- al- Mohammad : 8-9).
"And (so for) those who believe and do good, and believe in what has been revealed to Mohammad (S.A.W.S.), and it is the very truth from their Lord, He will remove their evil from them and improve their condition". (Surah-al - Mohammad : 2).
Ehbat (wasting of good deeds) : If a person was a muslim in the former part of his life and did good deeds, but turned away from the Right path (Siratal Mustaqeem) during death and died a non -believer, none of his previous (good) deeds will benefit him and they will go wasted. If anyone argues that in the Qur'an it". (surah az-Zilzal : 7).The answer to it is that the person who died disbelieving himself wasted his (good) deeds. It is impossible for Allah
In another place it is stated : "And (as to) those who reject our communications and the meeting of the Hereafter, their deeds are null. Shall they be rewarded except for what they have done". (surah- al-A'araf :147).
Many verses (ayah) of the Qur'an prove that disbelief (kufr) and polytheism (shirk) wastes away all good deeds. Then there are also such sins that obliterate good deeds and stop them from being accepted. The Holy prophet (S.A.W.S.) has said regarding a disobedient child: "O the one shunned away by his parents do whatever you like, for none of your (good) deeds will be accepted". If a person has upon him the curses and woes of his mother, he will be thrown into hell even if his good deeds are equal to the size of a mountain. Also is the case with slander and jealousy. Ma'soom (A.S.) says, "Jealousy consumes faith (Eeman) just as fire consumes wood". (ma'ad).
Shaikh Kulaini quotes Abu Baseer who narrates from Imam Ja'far- as Sadiq (A.S.) that he said, "Disbelief (kufr) has three roots (foundations) : greed, pride, and jealousy". And as these roots start gaining strength, faith starts moving away and good deeds go waste. Thus man becomes a fuel for the fire of hell. Shaitaan's good deeds lay wasted because of his pride. But he was given a long span of life in compensation for his (good) deeds. The whole narration is stated in the Qur'an.
Takfeer (Expiation of sins): It means that the sins which a person commits are compensated for acceptance of faith (Eeman) destroys all the sins committed in the past. If a person was a non-believer in the former part of life, but later accepted Islam, then the sins which he committed during that period will be forgiven and will not be taken into, the sin he committed during that period will be forgiven if he truly repents and seeks pardon. It is stated in the Qur'an: "Allah changes the evil deeds to good ones". (surah-al-Furqan : 70)
It is written in the fifteenth volume of Biharul-Anwaar', that once a man came to the presence of the Holy prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.S.) . and said, "O master my sin is very big (in his pre-Islamic days he had buried his daughter alive as was the custom then), you recommend to me a deed whose performance would act as compensation for it, and Allah may forgive me". The prophet (S.A.W.S.) asked
him, "Then is your maternal aunt (mother's sister) alive"¡ He replied "Yes, she is"
The prophet (S.A.W.S.) told him to go and serve her (for she had a very near relation with his mother, thus serving her would mean serving his mother). Then He (S.A.W.S.) said, "Had his mother been alive, it would have been the best compensation (for his sins). (ma'ad)

Whose Account will be taken | for everyone |
Whose Account will be taken
On the day of Qayamat people who will be accounted for their deeds will be classified into four groups. The first group of people will be the ones who will be made to enter paradise without accounting. They will be the ones who loved Ahlulbait (A.S.) in their life-time and had not committed any sins, or died after repenting and seeking forgiveness from Allah.The second group will be averse to the first one, they will be the enemies of Ahlulbait (A.S.). They will be thrown head- long into the fire of hell without taking their accounts. The following verse speaks about such people: "These are they who disbelieve in the communications of their Lord and His meeting, so their deeds become null, and therefore we will not set up a balance for them on the day of resurrection". (Surah-al-Kahf : 105).
Shaikh Kulaini relates from Imam Ali Zainul Abadeen
(A. S.) that He said, that the polytheists (mushreqeen) and unbeliever's (kafereen) deeds will not be weighed weighing of deeds (meezane A'amal), accounting (Hisab), and scroll of deeds are meant for the muslims only, while according to the Qur' an the polytheists and unbelievers will remain in eternal chastisement.
The third group will consist of people who will be made to wait for accounting. They will be the ones whose evil deeds would be surpassing their good deeds. When their sins will be compensated for (by waiting long), they will find freedom. The Holy prophet (S.A.W.S.) said to Abdullah ibne Abbas, "Some people will have to wait for a hundred years for accounting, and only then will they be made to enter paradise". But for which particular sin will he be made to wait is not specified. Hence a believer (mo'min) should keep himself away from all sins, so that he may not have to wait that long. (ma'ad)
Shaikh Sadooq relates from Imam Ja'far -as- Sadiq (A.S.) that He said, that on the day of Qayamat two types of people from the followers of Ahlulbait (A.S.) will have to wait for long. One will be the indigent and poor person, while other a rich and wealthy person. The poor man will cry out, "O my Lord why do I have to wait so long. I swear by your Glory and Majesty that in the world you had given me no kingdom or empire so that I may oppress anyone or
commit injustice therein or usurp other's rights. And you had given me only that which You thought was enough for me, and I remained patient and never grumbled. Then Allah will reply, "O believer surely you speak the truth", thus he will be made to enter paradise.
The rich man will have to wait so long that he will sweat profusely, so much so that forty camels could quench their thirst with it. Only then will he be made to enter paradise. In paradise when they will meet each other, the poor man will ask him the reason for having made to wait so long. The rich man will reply, "I was made to wait for a long time giving account of my enormous wealth, so to how I earned it (whether lawfully or unlawfully), as how I spent it. Then the merciful Lord blessed me, forgave my sins and accepted my repentance". Then he will ask the poor man as to who he was¡ He will reply that he is the same indigent fellow who was with him in the plains of Qayamat. The rich man will say, "Verily the blessings and bounties of paradise have transformed you to such an extent that even I could not recognize you". (matalib)
The fourth group will consist of people whose bad deeds will be more than their good ones. And only if Allah's mercy, blessings and forgiveness will give way, they will be made to enter paradise. If not they will be punished at that very place, the punishment appropriate for them. They will be chastised in that way till they become clean of all sins. Then people in whose hearts even an atoms weight of faith (Iman) exists, will not have to stay long in hell, they will be brought back to paradise. While only the polytheists and unbelievers will remain there.

WHEN THE DAY OF QAYAMAT WILL BE DRAWN........ | for everyone |
It is narrated from Imam Ja'far-as-Sadiq (A.S.) in the third volume of Bihar-ul-Anwar of Allamah Majlisi and Amali of Shaikh Mufeed then he said, "when the day of Qayamat will dawn, Allah will command us to take account from our Shiahs (followers). We will question them about the Rights of Allah (Huququllah) and Allah will forgive them (because of their intimacy with us). Then we will also forgive them our rights (due on them)".
Then Imam (A.S.) recited the following verse : "Surely to Us is their turning back, then surely upon Us is the taking of their accounts". (Surah-al-Ghashiyah : 25, 26). In the same book it is related from Ma'soom (A.S.) that after the forgiveness of the Rights of Allah and the Rights of Aimmah (A.S.), the rights still due on our Shi'ahs will be compensated for by the Holy prophet (S.A.W.S.) Himself
May Allah place us amongst the Ummat of the Holy prophet (S.A.W.S.) and the Shi'ahs of Ahlulbait (A.S.), and resurrect us with Them.

THE FATHER OF THE NATION | for everyone |
God decided to encourage people to have fewer children and introduced an award scheme... During the procedure at one point, he concentrated on learning about the situation in India:
He first met Jawaharlal Nehru in heaven, and asked him how many children he had during his time on earth. Nehru replied... only one!
Happy with the relatively good family planning adopted, God awarded Nehru with a Celestial Rolls Royce!
Indira Gandhi was next, and God asked the same question. She replied she had two children, and God thought, not too bad, so he gave her a BMW.
Dr. Radhakrishnan was next in line. God was not pleased to hear that he had six children, and gave him a Morris-8 as a kind of punishment...
Sometime later, the three (Nehru, Indira and Radhakrishnan) going around in their new cars, saw Mahatma Gandhi on foot!
Wondering what went wrong; they asked why God hadn't been merciful with him...
The Mahatma replied in disgust, "God did not even ask me!Some idiot had told him that I am the father of the nation!"

ATROCITIES IN MALAYSIA AGAINST OUR SHIA FOLLOWERS | for everyone |
Subject: Please help us Ja’afari followers in Malaysia
From: [deleted]
Date: Sat, 18 Dec 2010 19:59:51 -0800 (PST)
Salam,
I am the believer of the school of Shia Imamiah Isna Asyariah (Ja’afariyah) in Malaysia. My husband is also shia imamiah. During the night of Asyura that was on 15th December 2010, me and family went to Hawzah Ar-Redho located at Taman Sri Gombak, nearby the city centre of Kuala Lumpur to remember the syahid of Imam Hussain as. However, while we were at the middle of our program, the religious authourities from the State of Selangor known JAIS or Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor (in Malay language) came to raid the premises.
We were accused of practicing deviated religion just because we are shias imamiah isna asyariah. Our ustaz, Ustaz Kamil Zuhairi and our guest from Jameah Mustafa Hojatul Islam Mohsen Rachmad were taken away for interrogation and investigation the very same night. The next day both of them were brought to shariah court and were bailed out late in the afternoon. They will be charged in Kuang Shariah Court on 20/1/2011 for practising shiism. Those who participated in the program of the night of asyura approximately around 150-200 of us, were summoned to the Religious Department at Shah Alam or known as JAIS. At to date those who went for interrogation and investigation were also asked to attend shariah court at later given dates which eventually will be charged for practising shiism and if found guilty will be put in prison among other criminals ie the rapist, murderer, robbers etc.
For the past 3 days, the medias in Malaysia (TV and newspapers) have mounted their attack against us by accusing and slandering us for being deviated. They also accused us by saying that the Shias believed that the blood of the Sunnis are halal and it is okay for a Shia to kill a Sunni. Further, the Shia believed that the wahyu or message should reach Saidina Ali and not the Holy Prophet and that the Gabriel had made a mistake for giving the risalah to Prophet Muhammad. That the marriage between a sunni and shia is not valid and accepted and that the children who came out from that marriage are children out of wedlock or zina children All these statements came from their ulama/religious scholars who are also holding high positions in the Religious Department/Affairs of Malaysia. The Religious Authority and/or the Government of Malaysia has vowed to do a massive crack down against our shias community in Malaysia and to raid all hussainiah and hawzahs in Kuala Lumpur, Selangorand other States in Malaysia.For what is happening to us all here now, we plead and beg our brothers and sisters of the same faith and iman and the lovers of Ahlul Bayt alaihumussalam out there to pray for our safety and to do what it can so that the prejudice and prosecution from our own government against us all can be stopped.Salawat!
Yours faithfully,
Your sister of the same faith and mazhab

Karbala is a gift to humanity | for everyone |
Husayn had shown by his acts as well as his various discourses during the seven days of Muharram at Karbala, that this conflict was much more universal in nature, and that he knew that he was going to live for ever through his martyrdom.
Yazeed died as uselessly as he lived, only three years after the battle of Karbala took place. While trying to race a baboon, he fell from his horse and broke his neck. As history has recorded, those who were apparent victors at Karbala have disappeared without trace. While the plain of Karbala was transformed from a deserted piece of barren land into a bustling town, of which, the central monument is Husayn's glorious tomb.
Hundreds of thousands of people visit the tomb in reverence, all the year round, day and night. Husayn's martyrdom is observed with solemn deference all over the world, every year during the first ten days of the month of Muharram, by his followers. Public gatherings are held, speeches are made in which the story of Karbala is retold in touching tones and prayers are made to the effect that may the almighty Allah grant the same courage and strength to his followers in their hour of trial as he did to Husayn. At the end of these gatherings, the audience stand up and pay homage to Husayn and his companions in the following formal terms:
I wish I was with you ( at Karbala ) and would therefore, have attained the same exalted station ( as you did ).
Although, the observance of commemoration of Husayn in Muharram has only recently started in the Western countries, they are a part of the Muslim culture in India, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq and other eastern countries.
New centers have been established in Canada, the USA, and in many European countries where these practices of Muharram are done with all the elaborate details. The main element of these commemorative practices is the message of Husayn, which is also the message of the Prophet of Islam, that is Islam in its purest form. That is as follows:
1. Islam is a universal religion
2. Islam is the religion of human rights and common sense
3. Islam upholds the basic right of every person to hold his/her own views
4. Islam stands for the poor, the downtrodden and the weak
5. Islam teaches to side with the Mazloom and fight the Zalim
6. Islam appeals to human conscience and consciousness to see the right from wrong
7. Islam appeals to man through his own awareness and power to distinguish between good and evil.
8. Islam does not impose the law by brute force.
1. It teaches the parents how to love and cherish their children - however, when comes the time of sacrifice, the parent is in the forefront to sacrifice his/her child for the right cause.
2. It teaches men and women how a husband should behave with her wife, and vise-versa. Even when the family is threatened for life, property, and honour, how sensible people keep their heads and act according to Allah's and nature's laws.
3. It teaches the faithful that your beliefs and your convictions are the most important thing in the world.
4. It teaches the faithful to find the right Imam and follow him
5. It teaches the faithful that helplessness and lack of power in this world do not mean a thing as long as one has chosen the right path and he/she is convinced that he/she is on the side of the truth.
SAYINGS OF IMAM HUSAYN (A.S.) | for everyone |
1 – How can a thing the existence of which is dependent on you be taken as a proof for your existence? Is there anything more evident than your “self” disclose you? Are you hidden to need a guide to find you? Surely you are not. Are you far-away to need your footprints to find you? Surely you are not! Blind may the eyes be which do not see you watching and guarding your “self” (Arafa prayer; Bihar al- Anwar, Vol. 98 , P. 226)
2 – He who has you , has everything , and he who has deprived himself of you is the poorest in the world. Loser is the one who chooses and be content with anyone or anything other than you. (Bihar al- Anwar, Vol. 98 , P. 228)
3 – Never will be salvaged the people who win the consent of the creature at the cost of the dissatisfaction of the creator. (Maktal Khawarazmi , Vol. 1 , P. 239)
4 – No one will feel secured on the Resurrection Day except those who feared God in this world. (Bihar al- Anwar, Vol. 44 , P. 192)
5 – The Almighty God said : “The believing men and the believing women , they are guardians of each other , enjoin good and forbid evil… “God attaches primary importance to enjoining good and forbidding evil ” as a duty for men and women. For he knows that if it were fulfilled all the other duties , easy or hard , will be accomplished. That is because “enjoining good and forbidding evil” is a call for Islam , it regains the rights of the oppressed and opposes tyrants. (Tohaf-al- Uqoul , P. 237)
6 – O’ people , the Messenger of God said : Whoever sees an aggressive tyrant legalizes the forbiddens of God , breeches divine laws , opposes the tradition of the Prophet , oppresses the worshippers of God , but does not concede his opposition to God in word or in deed , surely Allah will place that tyrant ( in the Hell ) where he deserves. (Maktal Khawarazmi , Vol. 1 , P. 234)
7 – People are slaves to the world , and as long as they live favorable and comfortable lives , they are loyal to religious principles. However , at hard times , the times of trials , true religious people are scarce. (Bihar al- Anwar, Vol. 78 , P. 117)
8 – One who pursues a goal through sinful ways , will ironically distance himself from that goal , and will approach what he was afraid of. (Bihar al- Anwar, Vol. 78 , P. 120)
9 – Don’t you see that the right is not conveyed and the wrong is not prohibited. Let believers wish to die and righteously meet their God. (Bihar al- Anwar, Vol. 78 , P. 117)
10 – To me , death is nothing but happiness, and living under tyrants nothing but living in a hell. (Tohaf-al- Uqoul , P. 245)
11 – Your difficulties are worse than others , because you were deprived of the rank of the scholars – considering your legitimacy and merit -(These difficulties are) because administering the affairs of the society and conveying the ( religious ) rules must be done by scholars who truly believe in God and know what is permitted and what is forbidden by God. But you were deprived from this position and rank for you withdrew from (supporting) the truth. You changed the tradition of the prophet ,despite the clear and disclosed proofs. If you had withstood and were patient against the torture and annoyance ( of the tyrants ) for the sake of God , then the divine affairs would have stayed in your hands , and you were the ones to whom would be referred. But you made the tyrants dominant on you and left the divine affairs in their hands, while they shamelessly do the forbidden and notoriously live a licentious life. Your (fear) from death and attachment to this world have encouraged the tyrants to establish dominance over you. (Tohaf-al- Uqoul , P. 238)
12 – O’ God! Surely you know that whatever we did was not a competition to gain worldly positions and not for the worthless physical attractions of the world. But to show the signs of religious ways and to remove corruption from your lands , so that the oppressed feel secured and act according to your traditions and rules. (Tohaf-al- Uqoul, P. 239)
13 – I never revolted in vain, as a rebel or as a tyrant, but I rose seeking reformation for the nation of my grandfather Mohammad. I intend to enjoin good and forbid evil, to act according to the traditions of my grandfather, and my father Ali Ibn Abi-Talib. (Bihar al- Anwar, Vol. 44, P. 329)
14 – If the world is counted valuable; surely the house of God’s rewards is higher and more worthy. If bodies were created for death; surely being killed with swords in the way of God is a more honorable death. If the share of daily sustenance, of each creature is provided by the creator, surely it is not decent for man to be greedy for gaining and eating too much. If wealth is amassed for one day to be left. Then why a free man becomes so miser on something he has to leave. (Bihar al- Anwar, Vol. 44, P. 374)
15 – If you don’t believe in any religion and don’t fear the Resurrection Day, at least be free in this world. (Bihar al- Anwar, Vol. 45, P. 51)
16 – Those who worship God for the hope of gaining , they’re not real worshippers ,they’re merchants. Those who worship God out of fear ( of punishment ) , they’re slaves. And those who worship God to be grateful towards their creator , they are the free people , and their worship is a real one. (Bihar al- Anwar, Vol. 78 , P. 117)
17 – Beware that the need of people to you is among the blessings of God to you. So do not scare away the needy people when they come to you, as the God’s blessings will return and go elsewhere. (Bihar al- Anwar, Vol. 78, P. 121)
18 – O’ people take a lesson from the advice that God gave to His true believers, among which reproaching the Jewish scholars where he said:” Why do Jewish scholars not prohibit their people from saying sinful words? “And also (the Almighty) said:” Those who turned into atheists, from among the descendants of Israel, were cursed”… his Almighty added:” certainly evil was that which they did. “Surely the God criticized them for they turned a blind eye to what they saw of evil and corruption from the tyrants of their time out of greed or fear. The Almighty God says: ” Do not fear people, rather, fear me! “The Almighty said: “The believing men and the believing women, they are guardians of each other; they enjoin good and forbid evil.” (Tohaf-al- Uqoul , P. 237)
19 – Whoever seeks the satisfaction of people through disobedience of God; Then God subjects him to people. (Bihar al- Anwar, Vol. 78, P. 126)
20 – Avoid oppressing the one who does not have any supporter against you, other than the Almighty God. (Bihar al- Anwar, Vol. 78, P. 118)
21 – One who reveals your faults to you like a mirror is your true friend, and one who flatters you and covers up your faults is your enemy. (Bihar al- Anwar, Vol. 78 , P. 128)
22 – Wisdom will not be complete except by following the truth. (Bihar al- Anwar, Vol. 78, P. 127)
23 – Associating with corrupt people makes you subject to suspicion. (Bihar al- Anwar, Vol. 78, P. 122)
24 – Crying out of fear from God is salvation from the hellfire. (Mustadrak al- Wasael, Vol. 11, P. 245)
25 – A man came to Imam Hussain (Master of the martyrs) and said: I am a sinful man and can’t avoid doing sin, please advise me. Imam (as) said: If you can do these five things, then commit sin as much you like. First of all: don’t eat the sustenance of God and commit sin as much you like. Second: go beyond the domain of God and commit sin as much you like. Third: seek a site where God can not observe you and commit sin as much you like. Fourth :if the Angel of death comes to you to take away your soul, expel him away from yourself and commit sin as much you like. Fifth: If the Angel of Hell was about to throw you into the hell-fire, stop him and commit sin as much you like. (Bihar al- Anwar, Vol. 78, P. 126)
HADEES | for everyone |
Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “The true followers of Imam Ali (a.s) are those who donate from their wealth to each other due to our friendship; become friends with each other due to our friendship; do not act oppressively if they get angry; do not waste things when they are pleased. They are blessings for their neighbors; and are a source of comfort and convenience for their associates.”
HADEES-1 | for everyone |
Imam Baqir (a.s) asked Jabir: “Does it suffice for one who claims to be our follower to just express his friendship with the members of the Holy Household? I swear by God that no one is our true follower unless he fears God and obeys Him. Our followers are known for their humbleness and frequent remembrance of God; fasting; praying; helping the orphans, the needy, the ones in debt and needy neighbors; reading the Quran; and talking properly with the people. They have always been trustworthy in their tribes.” Jabir asked: “O’ Grandson of the Prophet! I do not know anybody with these traits.” Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “O’ Jabir! Do not let the various sects affect you. Do you think that it suffices for one to say that he likes Imam Ali (a.s) and he is his follower, but does not do anything to support his claim? Or he says that he likes the Prophet, who is even better than Imam Ali (a.s), but does not take his example and follow his deeds and act according to the Prophet’s tradition. Just having love for the Prophet (a.s) is of no use for him. Therefore fear God, and act in such a way as to attain what is near God, since there is no relation of kin between God and anyone. The one most loved by God is the one who is the most pious, and the noblest one is the one who fears God and obeys Him. I swear by God that it is not possible to get close to God unless by His obedience, and we do not hold the key to relief from the Fire of Hell, and no one has any authority over God. Whoever is obedient to God is our friend, and whoever disobeys God is our enemy. No one can attain our friendship unless by having nobility and piety.”
