Wisdom
never attains perfection except by following the truth (obeying the
commandments of Allah).
One
who loves you prevents you from all evils, while your enemy persuades
you to commit wrong or evil.
Act
in this world like a person who knows that you will definitely be
rewarded for good deeds and punished for sins and crimes.
One
who annoys God to please people, God leaves him to the people.
Some
people worship God coveting His rewards. This is the worship of
merchants. Some people worship God fearing His punishments. This is
worship of slaves. Some people worship God thanking His Blessings.
This is the worship of free superior persons.
What
is poverty? Imam replied, “Avarice and despair.”
What
is richness? Imam replied, “To be happy with what suffices you and
to have few desires.”
One
who accepts your gifts has really helped you in attaining generosity.
One
who removes troubles from a believer, God expels troubles from him in
this world and in the Hereafter.
Do
not seek help from any person except the one who is religious, or
generous, or of noble parentage.
Compete
for virtuous deeds and hasten to seize opportunities for good deeds.
The
most forgiving person is the one who forgives in spite of his ability
to punish.
If
you hear someone back-biting the people, try to be unfamiliar to him.
Do
not speak about your brother (in faith) behind his back except what
you like to be spoken about you behind your back.
Salaam
has seventy virtues, sixty nine of which are for the one who is first
to greet.
Do
not allow any one to enter or to speak to you if he does not greet
you.
A
miser behaves miserly even in greeting salaam to others.
What
has he obtained who lost You O' God? And what has he lost who found
You?
People
are slave of this world and their religion is just like saliva or
taste on the tongue. They revolve around religion as long as their
material needs are well provided; but when they face difficulties,
tests and trials, very few people prove to be stead-fast.
A
person came to Imam Husayn (a.s.) and said, “I am a sinner and can
not control myself. Please bless me with your admonition to me.”The
Imam replied, “Don't eat any food created by God and commit
whatever sin you like. Get out of God's realm (universe) and commit
what ever sin you like. Find a place where God cannot see you and
commit what ever sin you like. When the Angel of Death comes to
withdraw soul from your body, make him flee from you and commit what
ever sin you like.”
Beware
of oppressing a person , who finds no one to revenge against you
except God, the Mighty and Majestic.
No
one should feel secured on the Day of Resurrection except those who
feared God in this world. (Biharul Anwar volume 44 page 192)
One
who reveals your faults to you like a mirror is your true friend, and
one who flatters you and covers up your fault is your enemy.
(Biaharul Anwar volume 78 page 128)
Associating
with corrupt people makes you subject to suspicion. Hastiness is
foolishness .The most generous person is the one who offers help to
those who do not expect him to help. Tolerance is man's ornament,
keeping promises is a sign of nobility, and bonding with others is a
grace. (Biharul Anwar volume 78 p. 121-122)
Never
trust any body except those who fear God. (Balagat-ul-Husayn page
292)
A
person asked, “How can we know God?”Imam replied, “By knowing
and obeying the Imam of your time.”
(Biharul
Anwar volume 5 page 312”
