How miserable those who die and leave their sins after them - 4th IMAM (A.S.)

You are not living in a permanent abode; you are in a temporary house that you will leave soon. How does a man stay after the departure of his matches? Blessed be those who are fearful of this world. 

How miserable those who die and leave their sins after them are! Beware; you have been told. Take the initiative; you have been respited. You are dealing with Him Who is never ignorant. He who counts your deeds is never remiss. Supply yourself (with the necessary provisions); the long journey is approaching you. Correct your guilt; it has been inflicted by a cureless malady. Do not think that I wanted only to censure, reproach, and dishonor you. I only wanted Allah to revive the opinions that you have missed and give you back your religious affairs that you have lost. This is because I remembered Allah's saying: Keep on reminding them. This benefits the believers. (Holy Qur'an 51:55)

God Hates...

Verily, the Exalted God detests a seventy- year old man whose wishes and behavior are like unto a twenty- year old person.

Verily, the Exalted God detests an unwise believer.

Verily, the Exalted God detests dirt and disorderliness.

Verily, the Exalted God detests foul- mouthed, scurrilous people.

Verily, the Exalted God detests the one who is stingy in life but becomes generous on the verge of death.

Verily, the Exalted God detests those who frown at their brethren’s faces.

Verily, the Exalted God dislikes divorce.

GOOD SAYINGS...

Anger is a condition in which

the tongue works faster than the mind.

 

You can"t change the past,

but you can ruin the present

by worrying over the future.

 

Love...and you shall be loved.

 

All people smile in the same language.

 

Everyone needs to be loved...

 

especially when they do not deserve it.

 

The real measure of a man"s wealth

is what he has invested in eternity.

 

Laughter is God"s sunshine.

 

Everyone has beauty

but not everyone sees it.

 

It"s important for parents to live

the same things they teach.

 

Thank God for what you have,

TRUST GOD for what you need.

 

If you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday

and the worries of tomorrow,

you have no today to be thankful for.

 

Man looks at outward appearance

but the Lord looks within.

 

The choice you make today

will usually affect tomorrow.

 

 Take time to laugh, for it is

the music of the soul.

 

If anyone speaks badly of you,

live so none will believe it.

Love is strengthened by working

through conflicts together.

 

The best thing parents can do

for their children is to love each other.

 

Harsh words break no bones

but they do break hearts.

 

To get out of a difficulty,

one usually must go through it.

 

 

We take for granted the things

that we should be giving thanks for.

 

Love is the only thing that can be

divided without being diminished.

 

Happiness is enhanced by others

but does not depend upon others.

 

For every minute you are angry with someone,

you lose 60 seconds of happiness

that you can never get back.

 

Do what you can, for who you can,

with what you have, and where you are.

 

Our duty in this world is to help others by showing them their roses and not their thorns. Only then can we achieve the love we should feel for each other; only then can we bloom in our own garden.

HADEES OF THE HOLY PROPHET (S.A.W.S.)

Noble Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny). He has said:

“My Ummah consists of four groups:

1. One group offers the prayers, however yet are unmindful of their prayers, and they shall be placed in ‘Wayl’. ‘Wayl’ is the name of one of the bottom-most levels of hell. Allah has said:

“So woe to the praying ones, who are unmindful of their prayers.”[3]

2. One group is such that it occasionally offers the prayers, and so, ‘Ghayy’ is the abode for the people of this group. ‘Ghayy’ is the name of another of the bottom-most levels of hell. Allah has said:

“But there came after them an evil generation, who neglected prayers and followed the sensual desires, so they will meet perdition.” [4]

3. The third group consists of those, who never offer their prayers, and for them is ‘Saqar’, which is also the name of another of the low levels of hell and about which Allah has said: “(The inmates of paradise shall ask the inmates of hell) What has brought you into hell? They shall say: We were not of those who prayed.”[5]

4. The fourth group consists of those, who offer their prayers regularly and are humble in them. Allah has said: “Successful indeed are the believers, Who are humble in their prayers.”[6] and [7]

We pray to Allah (Glory and Greatness to Him) that He decrees all of us to be of the fourth group.

Hadees- Imam Baqir (a.s)

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."

Taunting By Satans And Wihtholding Of Weeping By Hell Dwellers

Taunting By Satans And Wihtholding Of Weeping By Hell Dwellers Even Satans (devils) will taunt people of hell and they will make a mockery of them. It is mentioned that the sinners will not weap and cry and complain loudly for fear of being mocked by devils. Says the Lord: “When the hell dwellers will be dealt with and when they willl reach their destination in hell Satan will tell them: Verily, God had given you a true promise. I had also given you a promise but it was false. Yet I had no binding pwer over you. Of course, I dropped a doubt in your hearts and you, wrongly using your freedom, believed in my false promise. So, now, do not scold me but scold your ownselves. Today neither I can help you nor you can assist me. I am fed up with you now, as you made me a partner of God in the world. Doubtlessly a painful chastisement is fixed for the unjust oppressors.” (Surah Ibrahim 14: 22)

You Too Found It True What Was Promised To You

You Too Found It True What Was Promised To You

The people of paradise will also scold the hell dwellers. In Surah A'raaf: 44, God Almighty says: “The people of paradise will give a call to the hell-dwellers and say: We have got all the things promised to us by our Lord. Did you also get the punishments about which you were warned by your Lord? They will say: Yes, we have received those chastisements. Then an announcer will arrive to annonce: Curse of God on the unjust oppressors.”

God says: Fal Yawma…Yaz Hakoon (Surah Mutaffifeen: 34) meaning: Doubtlessly, today the Momineen (faithful) will laugh over the Kuffar (unbelievers) and make them targets of mockery and humiliation. It will be an answer to what the deniers were doing to the believers in the world

How did the Nur transfer?

How did the Nur transfer? 

“Hadhrath Jabir bin Abdullah narrates that the Prophet [s] said ‘Allah [swt] created me and Ali from a nur before the Arsh, we used to perform tasbih and taqdees of Allah [swt] two thousand years before the creation of Adam. When Allah [swt] created Adam [as], He [swt] placed our Nur into his loin, which transferred through a pure lineage, till it went into the loins of Hadhrath Ibrahim [as] and then through his pure lineage it went to the loin of Abdul Muttalib from where , two third went to Abdullah while one third to Abu Talib. Mine and Ali’s Nur then rejoined through Fatima, thus Hasan and Hussain are the two Nur of Allah [swt]”.

[Majlis, Volume 2 page 230 (printed Egypt) by Allamah Abdul Rahman al Safoori].

"Subhanallahi wal hamdulillahi wala ilaha illalahu walaahu akbar'...

“One day the Holy Prophet (SAW) said to his companions: If you heap up all your clothes, buildings and the living goods, do you think they will reach the sky?  They said: No, O Messenger of Allah! The Holy Prophet said: Shall I introduce to you something whose root is in the earth and its branches in heavens?  They said: Yes.  The Holy Prophet said: Whenever you complete your prayer say thirty times:  "Subhanallahi wal hamdulillahi wala ilaha illalahu walaahu akbar'............  the roots of which are in the earth and its branches are in heavens.  It is these words that removes from man sorrows, collapsing of wall, fire, being drown in water, falling into well, being attacked by fierce animals, bad death, and tribulation which descend from heavens on the day.  Those words are truly righteous deeds.”   Iltemase Dua.......
