Parts of the body that are in charge of remembrance of God...

Dec 10, '12 11:49 AM for everyone

Either Imam Sadiq (a.s) or Imam Baqir (a.s) has been narrated to have said: "There are seven things in the body in charge of remembrance of God: the tongue, the soul, the spirit, the intellect, the wisdom, the head, and the heart- either of which needs to persevere. The tongue's perseverance is attained through honesty in uttering words. The soul's perseverance is attained through presence of one's mind. The spirit's perseverance is attained through sincerity in repentance. The heart's perseverance is attained through properly begging for pardon. The intellect's perseverance is attained through properly learning from one's mistakes. The wisdom's perseverance is attained through proper pride, and the head's perseverance is attained through awareness of the secrets of the world. Thus the remembrance of God is equal to: uttering praises of God for the tongue; struggling and hard work for the spirit; fear and hope for the soul; honesty and sincerity for the heart; exaltation and shyness for the intellect; submission and contentment for the wisdom; and witnessing to and approaching God for the head." -- O my Allah, the honour of being Your servant is sufficient. I am proud of the fact that You are my Lord. You are just as I want, so make me just as You like me to be. الهي كفى بي عزّا أن أكون لك عبدا ، وكفى بي فخرا أن تكون لي ربّا ... أنت كما أُحبُّ ،  فاجعلني كما تحبُّ اللهم عجل لوليك الفرج يا الله “Whenever you recite “Dua”, have this  impression that what you want is at the door.” Imam Sadiq (AS) said: "God grants seven hours to repent to any believer  who commits a sin. If he repents in that period, nothing will be recorded in his letter of deeds, but if he does not, then the sin will be recorded."  “The person whose tree of existence has soft wood will grow many thick flourishing branches”.    -Ali ibn Abi Talib (AS) -Nahjul Balagha (Peak Of Eloquence), Short Saying 214
