Mola Ali (A.S.) declares: Listen and comprehend and believe and then do so! This is the value of human!

Hazrat Ali (A.S) declares: All heaven's doors are opened and all hell's doors are closed to those who have these six characteristics:
1- To recognize God and to obey Him, as He commands.
2- To recognize Devil and evil characteristics and disobey them.
3- To recognize the right and to go after it. That is to learn from those who say good words or do good deeds.
4- To recognize the wrong and misdeeds, and to keep away from them.
5- To recognize the mortal world and its diseases and ambitions and to keep away from them.
6- To recognize the path of goodness and the path where one reaches God and hereafter, and to seek them and to do what is needed to achieve them.

Holy prophet (S.A) told Mola Ali (A.S): I give you six pieces of advice which are better than six thousand wise words:
1- When you see people performing recommended deeds you perform obligatory ones. (That is to do those deeds which are ordered by God for His sake.)
2- When you see the others are working for the mortal world you do deeds for hereafter. (That is to attempt to do every deed, whatever you do, for God's sake.)
3- When people are trying to point out each others' weaknesses you should remind your own weaknesses. Those who do such a deed would be without any weakness before glorious God.
4- When you see everyone's busy adorning their mortal world, you adorn hereafter. (That is when Nowrooz comes, you remember to help the poor.)
5- While you observe that all people's effort is for the quantity of good deeds you care for quality and purity. (For God rewards so much for the smallest pure deed and gives nothing to big impure deeds.)
6- Whenever servants recourse to people you recourse to God (For all affairs are in God's hands.).
O' Ali (A.S), no prayer and no deed will be accepted after death unless those deeds which you have done properly.

Holy prophet (S.A) declares: Dear Ali, I give some pieces of advice exclusively to you. Don’t you ever forget them:
- First is honesty, never let a lie come out of your mouth!
- Second is righteousness before God, that is to surrender before Him. Never dare to do bad deeds or to deceive.
- Third is to fear God as if you can see Him.
- Fourth is to cry very much because of the fear of God, so God will build 1000 Houses in heaven for you.
- Fifth is to sacrifice your wealth and life in God's and religions' path.
- Sixth is to do your prayers, to fast or to give charity as I do. That means to do them frequently.
He advised three times for performing night prayer, night prayer, night prayer!

Honored prophet (S.A) declares: O' God, protect me from a friend who deceives me. His eyes look at me but in his heart he thinks bad about me and thinks of backbiting! If he sees a good thing in me, he hides it and if he observes a bad deed in me, he reveals it.

No servant has faith until he has these five characteristics:
1- To trust in God and remember Him all the times.
2- To entrust all affairs to Him.
3- To obey Him in all matters.
4- To be content with what He wants.
5- Those whose friendship and enmity, giving and not giving are for God's sake, have thorough and pure faith.

Hazrat Ali (A.S) declares: The reason of creating human beings is good morality and characteristics, that human beings will be admired and honored for their deeds or also will be blamed and oppressed for them.

There are only four things which promote human beings:
1- To be patient and calm with people for God's sake.
2- To learn holy knowledge with modesty.
3- To use all abilities to do good deeds for people.
4- To be generous and magnanimous to people for God's sake.

These sentences are declared by all prophets:
Anyone whose religion doesn’t advise them, won't be advised by sermon.
Anyone who likes misdeed will spend the day of resurrection hardly!
Anyone who farms in this world will have to harvest in the other. If they farm properly, they will harvest good crops, if not, bad crops.
Don’t be proud of your health and yesterday's welfare for life doesn't last long, and it is impossible to remain healthy forever!
Anyone who follows their ego and mortal world's desire has sold their religion to the world.
The result of good knowledge is good deeds and the result of bad knowledge is misdeeds.
The best of the people is anyone whose ego's desires don’t sell their religion to the mortal world. And the best of the people is one who removes greed from their heart.

Noble Kaafi, volume 3, page 127
Imam Sadigh (A.S) declares: To recall God and mention Him are the hardest things God has necessitated to His servants. To mention God is not to say: "Sobhan allahe va alhamdollellahe va laa ellaha ella allaho vallaho akbar", although it is mentioning God!
But to mention God are these things:
- To care for what has been allowed or not allowed by religion.
- To obey Gosh.
- To say prayers.
- To pay Khoms and Zakat.
- To command for Good deeds and prohibit from misdeeds.
- To be good tempered to people for God's sake.
- To do deeds for God's sake.
- Not to do what God is not content with.
- And to avoid committing sin: Not to backbite, not to accuse falsely, to clear heart from enmity, not to be jealous to anyone. Not to lie, not to grudge. Not to do deeds which makes glorious God angry.
So this is the meaning of mentioning God.

Hazrat Ali (A.S) declares:
1- Always remember God if you want a good companion. That means He always helps you, and rescues you from sorrow.
2- Take lesson from others if you want a good life in this world. Observe what has made them successful? Or if they fail what caused it?
3- There are two angels who write your deeds and can be your good friends. That in Quran declares: There is not a word which you say and they don’t write it!
4- Do obey God's and holy prophet's (S.A) and Ahl-Albayt's (A.S) commandments if you want a good business. That means not to disobey them.
5- Read Quran and understand it and do as it says for God's sake, if you want a good comrade.
6- Recall death very much if you want a good lesson and sermon.
7- The fire of Hell will teach you a lesson if recalling death, writer angels, and taking lessons couldn’t affect you!

Imam Sadigh (A.S) declares: In backbiting, when one of your respectable relatives enters you stop; so be ashamed as you are before God and don’t backbite and commit sin.

Hazrat Sadigh (A.S) declares: Three deeds are the best:
1- To pay attention to saying prayers and say it in time.
2- To do good deeds to parents and people.
3- To fight in God's path, that holy prophet (S.A) declares: To fight means to invite to do good deeds, to prohibit to do misdeeds, to hate committing sin heartily, and to surrender before God and His prophet. This is the meaning of fighting.

Kaafi volume 3, page 126:
Honored prophet (S.A.) declares: Three things send my people to Hell the most:
1- Gluttony 2- Impurity. 3- Lust.

Honored prophet (S.A.) declares: I fear three things for my people after my death:
1- Being misled after being knowledgeable and guided.
2- Misleading seditions, in other words, these sophistications in religion!
3- Gluttony and luxuriousness.

God Himself addresses David (A.S): Tell your people to divide their day into three parts:
1- The first part is for learning moralities.
2- The second part is for meeting those who tell them their defects.
3- The third part is for earning money and enjoying their life.

Honored prophet (A.S.) declares:
What destroyed your ancestors and turned them into atheists was disobedience and rebellion towards God's and prophets' commandment.
What caused disobedience and rebellion was arrogance and egocentricity. What caused arrogance and egocentricity was grudge and jealousy. What killed holy prophet (S.A)'s daughter and Imam Ali (A.S)'s wife with an infant inside her was jealousy. What killed Hazrat Ali (A.S) and eleven of his sons was grudge, jealousy and disobedience before God and prophet (S.A).

Imam Sadigh (A.S) declares: O' people, don’t consider yourself higher than God, which causes you mislead people towards Devil.
Imam of our time (A.J) declares: O' God, harbor me from blindness after vision. All those who betray and do wrong are wise in religion and Quran.
Imam of our time (A.J) declares: O' God, harbor me from loss after being guided. All those who mislead people were once guided themselves!

Noble Kaafi volume 3, page 124
Imam Sadigh (A.S.) declares: Invite people to religion, without your tongue. People will pay attention to your righteousness, effort, modesty, and Islamic manner; then they believe in Islam. These characteristics should invite people to Islam by themselves.
Imam Kazem (A.S.) declares: Those who are pious in religion (stable & consistent) and gain a high position in righteousness and become famous for it in their town, are among our followers. Even housewives should admire their Islamic morality and manner.
Imam Sadigh (A.S.) declared: Imam Ali (A.S.) declares: The best worship for glorious God is modesty. Man and woman should have modesty in their manner and their speech. They should practice Islamic morality and manner in their behavior.

Noble Kaafi Volume 3 page 123:
Imam Sadigh (A.S) declares: Be righteous to God and Godliness which is:
1- Modesty and veil and Islamic manner.
2- To try for telling the truth.
3- To show trusteeship, not to betray in it.
4- Good manner which is acceptable in Islam, not the way modern-like people may like.
5- To do good to people for God's sake.
6- To invite people to good deeds and prevent them from misdeeds without lecturing. That is to teach good to people by doing good deeds.

In addition he declares: Be our honor and do not be our dishonor. It is expected from you to do good "Sejde" and right "Rokoo", for when one of you does "Rokoo" and "Sojood" properly, Devil screams behind him: I became wretched because of disobedience and not having submission and not doing "Sejde". And he is sorry and wonders that how the servant worships God!

"Sejde": Is a kind of act for worshiping God, that your forehead should touch soil…
"Rokoo": Is a kind of act for worshiping God that you should bow before God when your hands touch your knees.

Imam Sadigh (A.S) declares: You will not become a perfect human unless you learn knowledge of religion and Quran. You will not become knowledgeable unless you admit Imams' sermons. For glorious God declares: I will not accept but good deeds, and I will accept it if you surrender before Me and My prophet.
Be aware that they were extinguished and destroyed because they disobeyed God and prophet (S.A). It is said by honored prophet (S.A): Be aware that they disobeyed because of arrogance and egocentricity. Be aware that their arrogance was because of jealousy.
So Glorious God declares: I had two objectives for your creation: First, to obey and worship Me. Second, to be examined and succeed in My path.

Imam Ali (A.S) declares: Faith has four bases and signs:
1- Reliance on God which is being hopeful to God in all deeds.
2- To entrust all affairs to God.
3- To be content to what God wants for us, that is not to groan in difficulties and not to mutiny when having a good position.
4- To surrender before God at all the times. For Imam Sadigh (A.S) declares: You will not become a perfect man unless you learn knowledge of Quran. You will not become knowledgeable unless you admit Imam's sermons. Glorious God also declares: I will accept nothing but good deeds, and I will accept them provided that you surrender before Quran's commandments and my orders and prophet (S.A).

This sermon is confirmed by Sura An-Nisa Verse 65. God declares: O' our Prophet! (God swears to Himself) I swear to your Lord, they will not believe you until they surrender to you in full submission. (A heartily submission not just in words.)

Honored prophet (S.A) declares: There are ten signs for perfect humanity:
1- To pray so much before God.
2- To recall death and the hereafter.
3- To read Quran and to understand and comply with it.
4- Not to ignore doing good to male and female believers.
5- Not to want for the others whatever you don’t want for yourselves.
6- To want for people whatever you want for yourselves.
7- Not to get bored of doing good deeds.
8- Not to burden your life's responsibility on the others' shoulder.
9- When you do a favor for someone, do not remind them over and over.
10- Consider the mortal world as a prison.

Do not neglect these two characteristics: To say prayers and to help your religious brothers.

In Quran Sura Al-Qasas verse 87 Glorious God declares: Let no one bar thee from the verses of Allah after they have been sent down to you, and invite (men) to thy lord, and be not of the company of those who join gods with Allah.
And in Sura Al-Baqara verse 159 declares: Those who hide the clear verses and guidances we have sent down after we have clarified them in the book for the people shall be cursed by Allah as well as the cursers.
Imam Sadigh (A.S) declares: Three types enter heaven without evaluation.
1- A leader or a righteous person who invites people to Quran and the tradition.
2- A businessman or trader who is true in their trade.
3- An elderly who has spent their dear life in Islam's path.

Three types enter hell without evaluation:
1- A tyrant leader who doesn’t tell the commandments and morals of Quran and the tradition to people.
2- A businessman or a trader who overweighs and lies in their trade.
3- An elderly who engages in adultery; honorable master declared: Not to be forgotten that backbiters are worse than adulterators.

Further he declared: If you see someone who say their prayers properly and fasts a lot, do not cheer up, but pay attention to their wisdom, it is valuable only if educated according to Quran.

Noble Kaafi volume 3, page 121:
One of Imam Sadigh's students (A.S) told him: please do preach us.
First of all, Imam commanded to dislike the mortal world. Then he declared: You should practice serenity, modesty and Islamic manner and that means: 1- Not to look improperly. 2- Not to say bad things. 3- Not to listen to bad things. 4- Not to eat bad meal. 5- Not to laugh improperly or doing a horselaugh. 6- Not to become proud of anything. 7- Modesty before people. 8- Modesty before glorious God and also to be servile and submissive and to consider yourself nothing before Him.

Imam (A.S) told the narrator: I swear to God that those who follow Jafari religion are very few. My only real friend is the one whose righteousness is severe. And works for his God's sake and is hopeful to His reward. These are my real friends (followers).

Imam Bagher (A.S) declares that Glorious God states: To be the noblest of the people, avoid what is forbidden to you.

The narrator says: I asked Imam Sadigh (A.S), who are the noble people? He declared: Those who avoid what is forbidden by glorious God.

Wise and precious sermon of honored prophet (A.S): perfect wisdom has three signs:
1- To know God properly, that is all affairs should be under God and Prophet's supervision.
2- Appropriate obedience, that is all deed's should be according to Quran and Tradition.
3- Optimism towards God, meaning if God declares I observe you and love you and torment you, so we believe it.

Use your talent and intelligence in quitting sins. Man's modesty is in his nobility, that he should be generous and gentle. Only death is the remedy of greed. The sustainability of kingdoms is in healthy religion and justice.
When you give charity, do it with apology and generosity. The reward of hereafter's deeds is better than the untrue luxuries of the mortal world.

The rest of the last week’s Hadith:
The sixth right: The hand's right is not to lead it towards taboo, and not to tyrannize, and to serve people with that hand.
The seventh: The foot's right is not to step in taboo's path. You should stay on the Serat bridge on this foot, so be aware that it does not make you slip and throw you in the fire.
The eighth: The right of the stomach is not to make it the container of taboo's meal, and not to eat excessively and to consider if the meal is taboo or pure.
The ninth: The right of genitals is to keep it away from adultery, and cover it from others' eyes, and not to do taboo deed with it.
The tenth: The right of prayers is to know that it is entering God's court and you are standing before God. When you found this out, it is proper to stand before Him like a servile and unvalued servant as if you fear and more willing to Him, and be hopeful to glorious God as if you have no one but Him and you fear nobody but Him.

The fourth Imam (A.S) declares: All part of our body have a right that we should take it into account:
The first and the biggest right is the right of God, that is, you should worship Him and surrender Him, and do not follow polytheism. When you do this sincerely, God will undertake all affairs of your world and your hereafter.
Second: Your ego's right is that you should train it in the path of obeying God, and your deeds should be for His sake.
Third: Your tongue's right is that you should keep it from cursing and telling vulgar words. You should accustom it to good words, and stop talking nonsense, and with that tongue you should be beneficiary to people instead of being jealous.
Fourth: Your ear's right is that you should keep it from listening to backbite and other taboos.
Fifth: The eye's right is that you should cover it from taboo and do not look at "Namahram" and your look should be a lesson.

Namahram: Is someone whom we can marry (In religious commandments.) Someone other than one’s sister, mother, aunt, grandmother, and all other people that we can’t marry.

Blessed Imam Bagher (A.S) declares: O, Jaber! Is it enough for someone to only claim to be a follower of Imam? No! These are the terms of being Imam's follower:
They must fear God and be surrender to him، and obey him heartily. O, Jaber! They are not recognized but by modesty, extreme humility and trusteeship in all affairs. And so much mentioning God in joy and anger. And fasting correctly, saying prayers properly, respecting parents, caring about neighbors, lending and helping the poor, reading Quran and complying with its commandments. And they must keep their tongue away from lying and backbiting except for talking about others’ goodness. If they do so they will become trustees of the relatives.

So fear God and comply with His commandments for what He is. God is no one's enemy. The best friends of God are those who are the most righteous before Him. And they are the most obedients, too.

O,Jaber! You will not become close to glorious God unless you go this way. Be aware that we can't rescue you from Hell. God owes nobody. Anyone who is obedient to God is our friend. Anyone who disobeys God is our enemy.
Noble Kaafi, Volume 3, page 118

Honored prophet (S.A) declares: The asset of wisdom, after faith in God, is friendship with people for God's sake.

Imam Sadigh (A.S) declares: The most drudged people are those who don't commit sin.

The fourth imam (A.S) declares: There is no greatness for anyone but with modesty before God.
No one would be dear but with modesty and righteousness.
No one does any deed unless done with justice and for God's sake.
No one did slavery but by worshiping God and being knowledgeable in his path.
Be aware that the most enmity to God is following someone whose goodness or badness is not assured!

Imam Sadigh (A.S) declares: Friendship between religious brothers and sisters has six signs:
1- They are the same inside and outside.
2- They consider your beauty and honor as their own.
3- They consider your ugliness and sadness as their own.
4- When they achieve a post, they do not change their manner toward you.
5- They do not underdo in friendship for their friend.
6- They do not leave you alone in disasters and difficulties.
These are the signs of friendship with each other.

Imam Sadigh (A.S) declares: O' good people, do not exit from commandments of God, Prophet (S.A) and Ahl-albayt (A.S), for God will take back his given gifts. So, love those who are in your side and whose beliefs are like yours for God's sake. And be enemy to those who oppose your religion and those who do not concur with your beliefs. And disagree with those who are an enemy of your religion and use it for their conspiracy.
Be aware that parting from religion, Quran and tradition causes difficulty in the two worlds.
Be aware that what destroyed people who lived before you was a civilization without religion and Quran.
Be aware that what destroyed you and the people before you was excessive interest in the mortal world.

Glorious God declares: I have hidden three things in three other things:
1- My mercy in some kinds of worship. So we should not belittle any kind of worship, for God's mercy might be in it.
2- My torment in some sins. So we should not neglect any sin, for it may cause torment.
3- My Good servant among my other servants. So we should not overlook anyone, for they might be God's friend.

Someone asked from a Shafei about Ali (A.S). The Shaafei replied: What can I say about a person who has three characteristics mixed with three other characteristics which can’t be gathered in anyone else!
1- He is very generous in poverty.
2- He acts very wisely while he is so brave.
3- He complies with his knowledge

Honored prophet (A.S) declares: Bases of atheism are four things:
1- To be too much greedy and interested about the world whose base is in being Godlessness.
2- Fear of telling the right and defending it.
3- Discontentment with life whose base is arrogance and pride.
4- Violent anger whose base is in stinginess and jealousy.
These are the bases of atheism.

These four are the signs of faith:
1- To know God whose base is in modesty.
2- To know God's gifts whose base is in understanding religion. For Mola Ali (A.S) declares: half of the knowledge is to know that you don’t know, the other half is going to learn knowledge.
3- To know God's commandments whose base is in modesty and learning.
4- To know the things which alienate you from the path of God and humanity.

Honored prophet (S.A) declares: In this world, a believer should work for himself, that is to endure difficulties to his hereafter’s benefit. And one should gain in this world for the hereafter, by saying prayers and worshiping. In youth he should work for his senility.
Swear to One who possesses Mohammad's life in His hands that there is no apology and repent after death. Then he declared: There is no home in this world but Heaven and Hell.

All Imams (A.S) declare: Jealousy, grudge and arrogance are the enemy of all your goodness and beauties! Amnesty and goodness to people for God's sake are the enemy of all your badness.

Imam Sadigh (A.S) declares: there are three persons who are obliged by God on the day of resurrection:
1- Those who do not ingrate anyone while they are angry and when they have the power to do so.
2- While judging they do not grant the slightest right to one of them unless for God's sake.
3- Those who tell the right, either for or against themselves.

Those who are stingy and jealous and arrogant and fear to tell the right do not have faith. Believer is neither greedy nor stingy.

There are four things which are the basis of humanity, promotion, science and technology:
1- Faith to God and his commandments 2- Modesty 3- Prayers 4- Hijab (veil)
For lacking either wisdom, faith or modesty, extinct the other two.

Imam Bagher (A.S) declares: These are some advice which Loghman the wise told his child:
My dear child, those who participate with sinners will learn the impure path from them.
Those who enter disreputable places will be accused.
Those who like confrontations will be sworn and cursed.
Those who are companion to a bad friend will not rescue from immorality.
Those who are not the owner of their tongue (They can't control their tongue.) will regret.

In his last speech, the honored prophet (A.S) declares:
1- Bliss and happiness is for those whose morals are approved by God.
2- Those whose nature is pure. (Manner and character)
3- Those whose inside is good i.e. not to have bad thoughts and jealousy.
4- Those whose appearance is agreeable and approved by God.
5- Those who give charity from their extra wealth which they do not need themselves. And they do it good and often.
6- Those who do not talk nonsense or worthless.
7- Those who treat people with justice and fairness.
This is a believer who is approved by God.
From: Noble "Kaafi", volume 3, page 110

Hazrat Ali (A.S) declares: No matter what, always tell the right, and love the righteous and ignore the sinners, in order not to be burned in their hell's fire. Do not associate with hypocrites and do not make friends with treacherous.

Someone asked the fourth Imam (A.S) to tell him all the Islamic moralities and commandments in brief so that after he comply with them, enters the heaven. Hazrat (A.S) declared three sentences:
1- While talking, tell the right, and don’t lie.
2- While judging, judge fair, for God's satisfaction and contentment.
3- Keep your promise, so that you have been loyal to all Islam, provided that first you say your prayers and fast.

Hazrat Imam Sadigh (A.S) declares: Listen and follow the one who makes you cry and adds to your wisdom. Do not follow the one who deceives you with modern-like or superstitious talks!
Blessed Imam Ali (A.S) declares: If you want to reach perfect humanity you need three things:
1- To comprehend the religion completely. (That is to learn from Quran and the holy prophet's "S.A" tradition and Ahl Al-bayt "A.S".)
2- To keep your tongue. (Which can cause both hell's fire and beauty and entering the heaven.)
3- To know your zeitgeist. (Don’t accept whatever you are told in the name of Islam, unless Quran and the Holy prophet "S.A" and Ahl Al-Bayt "A.S" approve it.)
Glorious God told Jesus (A.S): O' Jesus, there is no awakening from ignorance while committing sin, there is no knowledge and awareness of God's path during entertainment and amusement. O' Jesus, keep away from fatal lust. (Lust is anything enjoyable which disconnects us from God and the holy prophet "S.A" and Ahl al-bayt "A.S".) And avoid any desire which keeps you away from me.

Mola Ali (A.S) declares: The value of a human and a believer is in six things:
1- Healthy heart, that is to surrender before God, the holy prophet (S.A) and Ahl al-Bayt (A.S).
2- Honest tongue, that is to tell the right, whether the others like it or not, whether for or against himself.
3- Perfect wisdom which is trained by Quran and tradition, otherwise it would be mischief.
4- True and perfect religion: that is Islam which is approved by Quran and tradition, not by a modern, selfish or superstitious look.
5- Fine beauty, that is to be beautified by righteousness, not by wearing make-up.
6- Legitimate wealth that has been gained by right and honest work.

Mola Ali (A.S) declares: Don’t be angry with each other unless for God's sake. And don’t make anyone angry unless for God's sake.

Imam Reza (A.S) declares: Those who want to achieve complete humanity must have three characteristics:
1- Godly characteristic: God doesn’t tell his secrets to anyone and doesn’t reveal people's secrets.
2- Prophets characteristics: Prophets (A.S) lived with people and were among them, but they were never affected by their badness and led them by all their power.
3- Imams' characteristics: Imams (A.S) are patient in disasters and troubles and they seek to be quartered by God.

All Imams (A.S) declare: A perfect man and believer has five signs:
1- Attention to God and fear of him in solitude.
2- To give charity to people when they are poor themselves.
3- To be patient in disasters and troubles.
4- To be tolerant and patient when they are angry, for God's sake.
5- To tell the truth when they fear. When you fear tell the truth. You should always tell the right and the truth.

Imam Hassan (A.S) declares: Misery and impurity is not to thank God for his gifts.
Then he (A.S) addressed to his son: O my dear son, don’t make friends and brotherhood with anyone unless you know where he goes and where he doesn’t and what his roots are. When you learnt his status and you approved his companion, be like a brother to him provided that you forgive his lapse and help him in trouble.
Your kinship is with the one who is your friend in God's path though his blood might different from yours. Stranger to you is the one who is separated from you in God's path though he might be the nearest kin to you. Your real friend is your comrade in your religion and is with you. There is nothing nearer to us than our own hand and truly if it breaks and corrupts, they will cut it off and throw it away. Disgracefulness is easier than going to hell. For some people make friends with the bad and the impure because of unnecessary embarrassment!

Hazrat Ali (A.S) declares: The value of people and humanity is in these things:
1- First, to know God and to have faith in him.
2- Second, what makes a person superior than the others is upbringing one's religious and Quranic wisdom.
3- Third, the beauty of humanity is in manhood. (No matter what gender one has, manhood is in the good characteristic of amnesty.)
4- Forth, human's goodness is in Quranic and traditional morality.
These are all revealed in modesty. All good men have killed the arrogance inside and have revived wisdom.

Religious commandment: In Ramadan, if you are distracted and unintentionally eat something when you are fasting, the moment you remember you are fasting you should outpour the meal from your mouth and your fast will be correct.
Or for example if you drink a glass of water unintentionally and suddenly you remember, you should outpour it from your mouth immediately and your fast will be correct.

Emam Kazem (A.S) declares: If someone has seven characteristics, his faith will be complete and all heaven's doors will be opened to him:
1- To perform ablution freshly and properly. It doesn’t mean to waste the water.
2- To say his prayers correctly and nicely. That means prayers must prevent him from committing sin.
3- To pay Xoms (1/5 of Savings) and Zakat. Zakat of eyes is to avoid looking at non-allowed things. Zakat of ears is to avoid listening to non-allowed things. Zakat of tongue is not to lie and backbite.
4- To avoid anger for God's sake.
5- To keep his tongue for God's sake.
6- To learn religious commandments by Quran's commandments and tradition of the Prophet (S.A).
7- To be generous to the prophet (S.A) and Ahl albayt (A.S).

Religious commandment: If you woke up for eating after midnight and before dawn (for fasting) and you were Jonob if there was enough time for eating you should take a shower (to perform Ghosl) and then eat your meal. But if there was not enough time you should perform Tayamom instead of Ghosl of Jenabat and then eat your meal and after that you perform Ghosl of Jenabat.

Ghosl: It is washing the entire body in a special way which is an Islamic commandment for particular situations.
Jonob: It is a condition after when semen has been ejaculated either by having sex or during sleeping.
Tayamom: An alternative to Ghosl or Ablution in which one uses clean soil in a special order on hands and face. It's usually performed when there is not enough time or water for Ghosl or Ablution.

Honored prophet (S.A) declares: Among the months, Ramadan blest is the best.
God declares: this month is mine and the best hours and days are in this month. For in other months reading one Verse of Quran is rewarded as one verse, but in Ramadan blest, reading one verse of Quran is rewarded as reading the whole of it. If you feed one, it is written as a hundred meals. Your sleep will be written as worship. Your breaths are written as hallelujah (Sobhan Allah). This is the month of remission, if only you evict these bad characteristics out of your soul:
1- Enmity
2- Jealousy
3- Being pessimistic about people
4- Stinginess
5- Arrogance
6- Sloth and inaction
For if there are any of these characteristics in any one and this month passes, he will not be forgiven and would be the most evil-doer of the time.

2- Giving charity and doing people favors breaks the Devil's back.
3- To be friend with people in God's path. To help each other which tears the Devil off.
4- Repentance which tears the Devil's heart apart!

Honored prophet (S.A) declares:

1- To know God, that we were nothing and that glorious God made us known to the world from just a single cell.
2- To know God's gifts, like eyes which can see and ears which can hear, lips and healthy tongue. And use them properly in the right time.
3- Knowledge; to distinguish and recognize good from bad which causes us to be the highest of all creatures in the world.
4- To be aware of the things which cause us to lose humanity, like cigarettes, wine, gambling and adultery.

Imam Sadegh (A.S) declares: There are ten things which make the perfect man and help them live like human.:
1- Not to rely to anyone but God that is not to ask for anyone's help or wealth.

There are four things that if we gain them we will have gained a perfect personality, a pure world and a good life:
1- Modesty, that those who are immodest will not benefit neither this world nor hereafter.
2- Saying prayers which is the link between us and God, that whenever we call him he responds.
3- Hijab (Veil), due to which women achieve their dignity and men achieve their zealotry and manhood.
4- To admit advices that in Quran Sura Zomar Verse 18 it is declared: O' prophet, enunciate those who listen to what they are told and act to the best of it, these are the perfect human and they have perfect personality and they will find salvation.

There are two things which should be avoided and abandoned!
- First, arrogance that causes the miseries of all the people in the whole world.
- Second, not to admit advices which ruins both worlds.

Imams (A.S) declare: There are four things which bring happiness in both worlds:
1- To obey the commandments of God, His Prophet and Imams.
2- To obey parents who have faith in God and Quran.
3- To give service to those who are wise and help Islam.
4- To be kind with people for God's sake, in the way that God likes.

There are four things which need four other things:
1- Dignity needs humane morality and civility.
2- Joy or safety will be gained in religion's path.
3- Kinship will be achieved by friendship in God's path.
4- Perfect wisdom will be achieved by divine training and experience.

Holy prophet (S.A) declares:
There are three signs for ignorant people:
1- They are lazy in all affairs of their life. That is they are slothful and indifferent in all affairs.
2- They make fun of people in any matter. They play jokes on everyone; that the world is destroyed and lost by these people!
3- Talking too much and nonsense!

There are three signs for unfeeling people:
1- They don’t show mercy and generosity to people.
2- They are not content with little income while it is one of the reasons which make people do any misdeed.
3- They don’t accept advice and precepts. This is the sign which has turned the heart into black due to being unfeeling!

Imam Reza (A.S) declares: A perfect human should have three characteristic:
1- God's characteristic, God doesn’t tell his secrets to anyone and doesn’t reveal people's secrets.
2- Prophets characteristics. Prophets (A.S) are with people, they converse with people, they order people to do good deeds and prohibit them from misdeeds, but they are never affected by their badness.
3- Imams' characteristics, Imams (A.S) are patient in disasters and troubles.

Holy prophet (S.A) declares:
There are many of those who say prayers and they benefit nothing but exhaustion and irreligiousness from them. For they keep all bad characteristics inside their soul.
There are many of those who fast and benefit nothing but thirst and hunger. For at that time they don’t watch their eyes and ears and tongues and hearts.
There are many of those who are wealthy and benefit nothing but hard work and hereafter's torment.
There are many statesmen who achieve nothing but sin, for they don’t remember God while doing their responsibility.
There are lots of wives and men who have nothing other than disrepute in this world and the fire of the hereafter, for they are indifferent in the education of their children's religion and moralities.

Honored prophet (S.A) declares: There are four groups who will not enter Heaven:
1- Druids, those who do fortune telling and presage. Those who listen to their presages are worse than them.
2- Hypocrites, those who pretend to be religious but all their deeds are against religion and God.
3- Drinkers, or wine makers or those who are indifferent about it.
4- Telltales, those whose purpose of associating with people is just to take news and talks from one to another!

Honored prophet (S.A) declares: All parents have three duties before their children that if they don’t do them properly, they will be annoyed by their children and they will be responsible for it on hereafter and they will end up in disrepute. (Even they will be cursed by their children and God will accept their curse! So parents should be aware not to be cursed by their children.) Those three duties are as follows:
1- When the child born, they give them a good and honorable name.
2- They educate them under Quran's and humanity's commandments.
3- When they grow up, if he was a boy, find him a good wife from a good and religious family to marry with. And if she was a girl, they try to find her a good husband.
They will be annoyed and fallen disrepute in both worlds if they don't comply with these three duties.

Honored prophet declares: Faith and modesty and good deed all together builds up the perfect human.
And also he declared:
1- A life which is not spent in learning good knowledge has been wasted. (So let's try to learn knowledge for humanity and God's sake.)
2- A knowledge which is not used for good deeds has been gone with the wind.
3- A deed which is not with honesty and for God's sake has been wasted.
4- The honesty which is not kept with resistance has been wasted.
5- The resistance which does not favor us, people and God, has been wasted. For good ending is the evidence of good affairs.

Anticipators of the Imam of our time (A.J) are divided into four groups:
1- The first group is gone astray. These are those who sit and do nothing until Hazrat (A.j) comes and ameliorates the affairs so that they can enjoy it!
2- The second group is both the destroyer and the subversive. These are those who commit sin and invite people to commit sin. They say if sin and cruelty increase, Hazrat (A.J) will come sooner.
3- The third group is the oblivious. These are those who pray for Imam's coming, they read Nodbe, (It is the name of a specific prayer for Imam Mahdi's coming) they read Quran, but they don’t excel themselves and their wives and children.
These three groups will be from Khavarej (Those who militated against Imam Ali "A.S" in Nahravan war.) if they don’t repent.
4- But the fourth group is the wise. The righteous who brought themselves up perfectly with religion and they are ready for Imam's coming. They are successful.
These precious quotations were declared by master of morality Clergyman Aliakbar Tehrani.

Honored prophet (S.A) declares: Those who can avoid five things, will have the right judgment:
1- To avoid greed which removes modesty.
2- To avoid narcissism which causes enmity.
3- To avoid one's won desire which is scandalous.
4- To avoid sloth in deeds, in life, in statecraft, in housekeeping, otherwise they will regret.
5- Not to make long desires which cause destruction and disgrace.

Imam Sadigh (A.S) declares: Those who associate with bad friends will be corrupted and will become impure at last.
Imam Ali (A.S) was asked: What is manhood and humanity? He declared: That is not to do anything in private and which if made public, make you ashamed.
Then he declared: The knowledge of the God you worship should be heartily, for all body parts take command from heart. When the heart is godly, the body parts don’t fault.
The one who use religion just for eating, what he benefits will be what he has eaten and excreted in the toilet!
Mola Ali (A.S) declares: Faith has four bases:
1- To trust in God, that is to keep God in heart.
2- To leave the deeds to God with effort and endeavor.
3- To surrender God's commandments, that is to consider God's legitimate and pure as legitimate and pure, and His illegitimate and taboo as illegitimate and taboo.
4- To be content with God's will and hap.

Loghman told his son: There are three signs for a perfect human who has faith in God:
1- Learning God's religion from His prophets and saints.
2- Hearty belief, for faith is in heart; to believe God and the hereafter and the Imams in your heart.
3- Follow what you believe in action, by all your body parts.

Holy prophet (S.A) declares: Fighting in God's path has four signs:
1- To command to do good deeds, that is to guide oneself from morning to night.
2- To command to avoid misdeeds, that is to prevent oneself from misdeeds.
3- Hearty hate from sin.
4- To follow God's commandments by all means, and to heartily accept what God says.
Hence, following Quran's commandments is the best cure for the people of the world. Quran is the highest civilization with no end. Quran's commandments are a renaissance which will not be destroyed. Quran is a book which flawlessly shapes human. Quran and the tradition of the holy prophet (S.A) and the Ahlbeit (A.S) are guides which are flawless and have no contradiction. Quran is the only enlightener which has no darkness and loss.

There are four characteristics that if anyone has them, will find salvation in this world and hereafter:
1- To notice the inferiors.
2- Not to notice the superiors.
3- To be content with life, that is to be satisfied with God.
4- Generosity to all people.

There are four characteristics which are very bad and if anyone has them, will be unsuccessful and abject in this world and hereafter:
1- Jealousy. 2- Arrogance. 3- Enmity. 4- Stinginess

1- He is honest and truthful.
2- He cares about his prayers and fast and his religion commandments.

A hypocritical and low man has four characteristics:

2- He is not the same inside and outside
3- He betrays trusteeship and commits treason.
4- He can never be preached.

Imam Baqer (A.S) declares: Loqman advised his son:
1- Those who associate with sinners will follow their impurity.
2- Those who step in scandalous places will be accused.
3- Those who love altercation will be cursed and reviled.
4- Those who associate with disreputable friends will be led toward immorality and corruption.
5- Those who cannot keep their tongue will regret it someday.

Some‌one asked the prophet (S.A) that: give me a piece of beneficial advice that guide me and I shall be elysian. Hazrat (S.A) declared:
1- Worship God and nothing else in your life affairs. That is to be surrendered to God.
2- Say your prayers well to save you from committing sin.
3- Give Khoms or Zakat of your wealth to be pure and find salvation in both worlds.
4- Fast in Ramazan month properly. That is eyes and tongue and ears should also be fast.
5- If you gained the ability, go and visit God's house (Kaabe), and if you didn't, always remember God, and work and try for his sake.

Glorious God declares in Quran in the Sura "The Spider" verse 2 and 3: Did people suppose that we would leave them if only they said we have faith? No! We examine them as we examined the people before them. Although God can tell the honest (true) from the liar (For God is not ignorant about us. These tests are for our own sake!).
Verse 4- Did those who do bad deeds suppose that they outshined us and they weren't be tormented? How bad they judge that they won't be tortured!
Verse 6- Those who fight with the Devil and their ego, certainly they attempt for their own salvation. For God is independent of the universe and everything within!
Verse 7- And those who have faith and do good deeds, we vanish their badness and compensate them with something more than what they did!

Blessed Imam Ali (A.S) declares: Don’t use three things which belongs to each other, which cause illness:
1- Don’t use each other's comb. Each of you must have one for himself.
2- Don’t use each other's toothbrush. Each of you must have one for himself.
3- Don’t use each other's towel. That most diseases and allergies infect the body through these ways.
Here are master's special advices to the women who breastfeed infants:

When they are changing diapers, they should be careful about two things:
1- They should avoid letting their infant touch the body which is contaminated with urine and excrement
2- Not to feed their infant with milk, (Their own or by glass) before they wash their hands with water and soap, even if the infant doesn't stop crying. This is a kind of excercise for the infant's bowel.

One of Imam Sadigh's (A.S) students asked him: What is the right of a believer to a believer?
Hazrat (A.S) declared: You asked me a great question, I am afriad that you won’t comply with them and be considered guilty! Then he declared:
The smallest right of a believer to a believer is this:
1- To want for him whatever you want for yourself. And not to want for him whatever you don’t want for yourself.
2 - To try to satisfy his needs.
3- To put his life, wealth, and health on the line in order to help him.
4- To watch him, guide him and be a mirror to him.
5- Not to eat when he is hungry. Not to be dressed when he has no cloths to wear.
6- If you have a bondwoman and he doesn’t have a wife or a bondwoman, send your bondwoman to run his errands and chores.
These are the duties of believers (brothers and sisters) to each other.

Ali (A.S) declares: Your true friend is the one who makes you cry but objects your misdeed and makes you alert.
Your true enemy is the one who deceives you by talking fabulous in a way which is common sense and agreeable mortal world.

If you want to be a perfect human in this world and hereafter you should achieve four characteristics:
1- Obedience before God and prophet (S.A) and Imams' commandments.
2- Trust in God that no one can do anything but Him, and all of the affairs are in His hands.
3- While working and endeavoring, be uninterested in the mortal world, in order not to lose your religion.
4- Righteousness is being careful not to commit sin by eyes. Watch your tongue not to tell false. Watch your ear not to hear backbiting or music. Watch your mind not to think or decide evil. For polytheism and atheism happen when one is not obedient; mere worship (without obedient) cannot rescue us from them.

All Imams (A.S) declare: Stinginess and jealousy are enemies to all goodness and beauty.
Doing good deeds to people and forgiveness are enemies to all badness and ugliness.

Imam Sadigh (S.A) declares: There are three persons who are closest to God and cared by God on the day of Resurrection.
1- Those who do not harm their subordinates in anger when they own the power to do so.
2- Those when they judge, they are not biased, even to the tiniest extent. They judge just for God's sake.
3- Those who tell the right, for them or against them, no matter it sound good or bad to people.

Those who are stingy and jealous and fear of telling the right do not have faith.
Believer is not timorous, nor is he greedy or stingy. Wisdom and faith and modesty are always together.

Honored prophet (S.A) declares: There are some things which kill human's heart and no more can one be successful in doing good and holy deeds.

3- Eating with the left hand which kills human's heart and it is a very bad deed.
4- Having grudge and enmity in heart.

1- Doing religious deeds. That is doing them properly.
2- Modesty before God and people and admitting the right advice.
3- Doing good deeds to people for God's sake.

Then Holy prophet (S.A) declares: There are three signs of ignorance in people:
1- Considering the world ridiculous and mislead people from the right path.
2- Wrong hobbies as backbiting and talking nonsense.
3- Anger for other than God's sake.

Imam Bagher (A.S) declares: Loghman the Wise told his son:
1- Those who associate with sinners will follow their impurity.
2- Those who enter disreputable places will be accused.
3- Those who love altercation will be cursed and reviled.
4- Those who associate with disreputable friends, will be involved in immorality.
5- Those who cannot keep their tongue will regret it someday.
There is no path better than God's.

Honored prophet (S.A) declares: Glorious God saves five groups on the day of Resurrection while all people are in inconvenience, annoyance and irritation:
1- Those who pay attention to their prayers. (That is their prayers prevent them from doing sin.)
2- Those who fast and they are righteous. (That is, when they fast, their tongue and eyes and their mind should fast too.)
3- Those who earn money from legitimate ways and give its Khoms.
4- Those who fight in God's path. (That is to prevent their eyes from forbidden look. Or prevent their tongue from backbiting or lying.)
5- Those who perform accepted Hadj and achieve salvation. (That is, they think of God when they are in their city and country. Their deeds are for God's sake and avoid sins for God's sake, too. So when they do Hadj, their Hadj will be accepted and they achieve salvation.)

Honored prophet (S.A) declares: To improve your uptake and wisdom and religion, always resort (or associate) with those who convey you from five stages to the other stages:
1- To convey you from uncertainty to certainty. (Most of the people even do not believe in God and Imams "A. S".)
2- To convey you from hypocrisy to sincerity. (For hypocrisy does not have any outcome but entering the Hell.)
3- To convey you from worshiping the world to worshiping God and faith. (The world is mortal enough by itself for someone to love it!)
4- To convey you from arrogance to modesty. (For one's amelioration in both worlds depends on this calmness and modesty before God and people.)
5- To convey you from resorting (or associating) with bad people to friendship with God and his friends.

Holy prophet (S.A) declares: There are five things which do not let your prayers to be accepted:
1) Jealousy 2) Arrogance 3) Backbiting 4) Earning illegitimate wealth 5) Drinking wine.

Monday 2010-04-18
Shaghigh the son of Abraham who is one of the great savants, says: I asked seven hundred savants about these five matters and all of them replied the same:
1- Who is wise? Those who are not interested in the mortal world. (That is not to be beaten by the mortal world.)
2- Who is clever? Those whose world does not make them arrogant. (That is not to be proud of their position.)
3- Who is needless? Those who are content with what God has given to them.
4- Who is poor? Those who are always thinking of increasing their wealth. (There is nothing wrong with being wealthy provided that one earns it in legitimate ways and spend it in God's path and for one's hereafter.)
5- Who is stingy? Those who do not pay God’s right. (That is not to Give Khoms or not to give charity in God’s path and for his sake when it is needed.)

Glorious God told Jesus Christ (A.S): O' Jesus, there is no disillusion while doing sin, and there is no knowledge in God's path during entertainment and amusement. O' Jesus, keep away from fatal lusts, (Lust is anything which disconnects us from God and humanity.) and avoid any desire which keeps you away from me. O' Jesus, be aware that your position according to me is the position of a trusty prophet (A.S). So fear me and beware of me. Be aware that your world brings you to me. And I judge you by my knowledge. So when you mention me, your heart should be subordinate and tremulous. While you think of me, consider your ego abject.

Monday 2010-04-11
Blest honored prophet (S.A) declares: three things are savior:
1- Being surrender to and fearing of God, whether overtly or covertly.
2- Moderation in life, whether in poverty or in affluence.
3- Moderation in anger and happiness.

Three things are fatal:
1- Continuous stinginess.
2- Incessant jealousy and lust.
3- Arrogance and selfishness.

And further he declares:
Those who are magnanimous and put their trust in God are perfect human beings; they prefer misery of death rather than associating with dishonest people.
The wise youth who are knowledgeable in religion, Quran, and tradition are better than the ignorant old!
Those who invite you to misdeeds and ungodly deeds are deceptive and unprincipled.

Hazrat Ali (A.S) declares: Inebriety has several types:
1- Inebriety of wine that man recovers from it soon and he might repent and find salvation.
2- Inebriety of wealth that few people may recover from it.
3- Inebriety of sleep that causes abjectness.
4- Inebriety of position and rank which is the worst of all.

Mola (A.S) declares: God attended and chose us and designated for us followers to help us. They are happy in our happiness and mournful in our sorrow and they sacrifice their wealth and life for us. But some of them are lazy and indifferent. To purify them in this world, God give descends disasters into their life, wealth or their children. If they are still not clean, at the moment of their agony, God takes their soul so hard so that they leave the world with a clean soul.

Four quotes from four prophets (A.S):
1- Moses (A.S) declared: Those who avoid bad friends are as if they have followed all Torah's commandments and they find salvation.
2- David (A.S) declared: Those who avoid lust and vagary are as if they have followed all Psalms's commandments and they are elysian.
3- Jesus (A.S) declared: Those who are content to what God has given to them are as if they have followed all the Bible's commandments and they find salvation.
4- Our honored prophet (S.A) declared: Those who watch their mouth while they are talking, think and tell the right and the truth, are as if they have followed all Quran's commandments and they place themselves in heaven.

Wednesday 2010-03-31
Imam Ali (A.S) declares:
- Half of knowledge is knowing to be ignorant, and the other half is asking to learn.
- The wise are those who listen to what they are told and follow the good ones, as it is mentioned in Quran, sura Zomar, verse 18.
- The Ignorant are those who are arrogant. They don’t listen, nor do they know! They lock themselves in a room of ignorance and stupidity.

Imam Sadigh (A.S) declares: Those in whose mind enters arrogance, exits wisdom.
- The powerful and the mighty are those who overcome their ego. In Quran, sura Shams, God swears an oath twelve times that those who overcome their ego will find salvation.
- The wealthy and the rich are those who are content.
- The poor and the beggar and the thief are those who waste. That is to be extravagant and to dissipate.

Monday 2010-03-29
A wise saying of the Holy prophet (S.A) declares: Glorious God deprives three persons of his mercy:
1- Those who wear clothes for showing off and arrogance.
2- Those who laugh to backbiter's face!
3- Those who sell their stuff expensive and cheat people.

Further he declares: Those who are slothful in saying their prayers or take it for granted, glorious God punishes them by these punishments:
1- God takes back their bliss in this world.
2- Their life is always in danger.
3- There is no brightness in their face, God takes back their brightness.
4- They don’t benefit from Islam. For instance when we pray for believers and the dead, they are not included in these good prays.
5- The prayers of the good are not applied to them.
6- Their own prayers are not applied to them.
7- Their death will be in abject.
8- When they are dying, they feel so much weight on their chest as if there are weighty mountains.
9- Weakness dominates them as if they are being whipped all the time.

A wise saying of Imam Bagher (A.S) declares: God has a heaven that doesn’t let anybody enter except three groups of people:
1- Those who tell the right even though it’s harmful to them.
2- Those who visit their brothers and sisters for God's sake.
3- Those who prefer the other believers to themselves for God's sake.

Glorious God declares: O' son of Adam (A.S), I have done three good favors for you:
1- I have concealed those sins of you of which if your family become aware, they will not bury you.
2- I asked you loans for your own hereafter's store, (That is, what you do in this world, God stores for you one to seventy or one to seven hundred.) but you spared and didn’t give!
3- I assigned you one third of your wealth to your after-death period but you didn’t give and oppressed yourself.

Honored prophet (S.A) declares: You aren’t a sound human and your wisdom is not complete unless you have ten good characteristics:
1- People are hopeful to your goodness.
2- People are safe from your harm.
3- To state the goodness of the others too much.
4- To state your goodness to the others less, although it’s too much.
5- Never get tired of learning religious and moral knowledge.
6- Never get tired of accomplishing people's requirements.
7- To like anonymity more than reputation.
8- The poverty shouldn’t be bad in your opinion.
9- To be content with just one kind of meal in this world.
10- The most important of all is to consider the others better than you. If that person doesn’t have a good appearance, you should say that God willing his heart is pure. Or you should say that God willing he will find salvation in his life.
Lots of good people became bad because of arrogance and conceit and lots of bad people became good and elysians because of crying and adjuring before God. O' God, save us from these characteristics.

Wednesday 2010-03-17
Hazrat Ali (A.S) declares:
A believer doesn’t abjure his religion, for his friendship with someone.
A believer doesn’t tell anything but right, either in joy or anger.
A believer doesn’t take order from anyone but God, for a believer's religion is not loaned or superficial.
A believer doesn’t take his religion from zeitgeist.
A believer doesn’t take his religion out of his own views.
A believer takes his religion from God and it will be displayed in his deeds and manner.

Monday 2010-03-15
Imam Sadigh (A.S) declares: Glorious God set belief in seven different shares. Some gain one share, some gain two shares and some three. So you must not expect those who gain one or two or three shares, more than that:
1- Goodness with people.
2- Honesty in all affairs.
3- Belief in God and the day of Resurrection.
4- To agree with what God wants for him in all affairs.
5- To be the man of his word, with God and people.
6- Knowledge of religion and to comply with it.
7- Patience, that is to be patient for God's sake and people.
Now some comply with one, some with two and some with three shares.

Wednesday 2010-03-10
Honored prophet (S.A) declares: There are four groups who cause people and the world to be alive and lasting. (When we say honored prophets "S.A" that is the essence of one hundred and twenty four thousand prophets "A.S".)
1- Those who learn Quran commandments and our tradition and comply with them and teach them to people.
2- Those who come and learn with modesty and hearty consent and comply with them.
3- Openhanded people who give charity with no expectation.
4- Those who stand for their religion and God to the last breath and become martyr.

There are four groups who always bother people and ruin their world and hereafter:
1- The irreligious jealous.
2- The dishonorable stingy because of whom all people's sorrow is.
3- The hypocrite feudist.
4- The selfish arrogant.

Holy prophet (S.A) declared:
O' God keep me safe from blindness after vision.
O' God keep me safe from damnation after guidance. Those who do these bad things do them after knowledge.
O' God keep me safe from friends and acquaintances that conceal my goodness and renown my badness.
Be aware that Islam is naked, its value, dress and grace is in Quran commandments and my tradition.

Monday 2010-03-08
Holy prophet (S.A) declares: Try to do any deed for God's sake, specially learning knowledge.
Those who learn knowledge for showing off will die ignorant.
Those who learn knowledge for telling the others and not for complying with it will die feudist.
Those who learn knowledge for arguing will die lecher.
Those who learn knowledge for increasing their wealth will die irreligious.
Those who learn knowledge for God's sake and comply with it will die knowing and godly and accept right calls and enter Heaven.

Honored prophet (S.A) declared: The things which take my people to Hell most are stomach, lust and libido.

I am terrified for my people of three things:
1- Going astray after guidance and knowledge.
2- Misleading seditions.
3- Lust, gluttony and craving luxury.

There is no worship better than purity of tongue and avoidance of lust.

Monday 2010-03-01
Glorious God inspired to the Holy prophet (S.A): O' Mohammad, Do you know when a believer becomes a perfect man? Hazrat (S.A) declared: No, but you know.
God declared: whenever seven characteristics are gathered in him:
1- Righteousness which prevents him from committing sin. That is to surrender oneself to God.
2- Silence which prevents him from talking nonsense.
3- Fear of God and attention to him, so that he sees God when he wants to commit a sin, and fears him.
4- Modesty so that he is shamed of God in solitude which prevents him from committing sin.
5- Contentment which makes him satisfied with one kind of meal or an ordinary dress.
6- To be enemy to the mortal world, for God is the mortal world's enemy.
7- To like believers and good people, for I as your God like them.

Wednesday 2010-02-24
Devil told some of the prophets such as Noah (A.S) and Moses (A.S): Be aware of the fact that I am present at serious moments:
For instance, I am there when you become angry. I tempt you until you are condemned to Hell.
I am there when you envy, I tempt you until you are condemned to Hell.
When a man and a woman (Who are Namahram to each other.) are together, I tempt them until they are condemned to Hell.
At the times of arrogance and pride I am there.
I am there when you attest, for not being able to judge well.

Monday 2010-02-22
Hazrat Ali (A.S) declares: God condemns six groups in Hell on the day of resurrection:
1- Arabs for their bigotry; bigotry should be for God's sake.
2- The rich and the masters for their arrogance.
3- Lords and chives for oppressing and hurting people.
4- Jurists for their jealousy towards each other.
5- Tradesmen for their untruthfulness in their business.
6- The rural people for their ignorance and not willing to learn their religious commandments.
These are stupid and ignorant in this world and burning in Hell in the other.

Wednesday 2010-02-17
Imam Sadigh (A.S) declares:
The statesmen should be just. The unjust statesmen are as fruitless as a cloud which doesn't rain.
The impatient poor are like a lamp with no light.
The scientist should be righteous. The unrighteous scientists are like a tree with no leaf.
The ungenerous rich are like a land with no plant.
The young should always repent. The young who don’t repent are like a stream with no water.
The value of a woman is in her modesty and hijab (covering herself before men) the immodest women are like a meal with no taste.

Monday 2010-02-15
Hazrat Ali (A.S) declares: How nice it is to make friends for God's sake and in his path.
O' people, your children and your wealth are mortal world's cultivation, and good and holy deeds are total other world's cultivations. God has provided people with all these gifts. Good for those who enjoy both.
O' people, those who respect people because of their title, position or wealth, have lost one third of their religion.
O' people, those who read Quran and finally end up in Hell after death, are among those who have made fun of Quran in their lives.
O' Komeil, learn to be wise and avoid speaking nonsense to be religious.
O' Komeil, when God taught you your religion, it doesn't matter if you know anyone or anyone knows you. Just be happy that you have known your religion.

Wednesday 2010-02-10
Loqman told his son: dear son, everything has a sign, and there are four signs for a wise believer:
1- Learning moral and holy knowledge.
2- Hearty belief, that is to believe the holy commands by all heart.
3- Doing what God has ordered them by all means.
4- Saying prayers and fasting.
The first three signs are more important than saying prayers and fasting.

Mola Ali (A.S) declares: People are divided into three groups:
1- Holy scientists who learn knowledge for God's sake.
2- Students of the salvation path.
3- And the last group is like a mosquito drifting as the wind blows.

Monday 2010-02-08
Hazrat Ali (A.S) was asked: who is magnanimous and gentleman? He declared:
1- The one who accepts the right advice.
2- When you obey him, he repays, that is to repay you when you do him a favor.
3- When you object him, he treats back kindly. That is if you do something wrong to him or fall out with him, he reacts with kindness and compassion.
4- He calls back those who turn him away. If someone ignores him he doesn’t fall out.
5- He approaches those who turn him away, and he reconciles those who are hostile to each other.
6- He shows complete honesty to those who trust him. He doesn’t betray those who trust him.

Wednesday 2010-02-03
Hazrat Ali (A.S) declares: Experience is superior to knowledge; that is to learn good deeds from people.
Half of the faith is listening to advice; that is to accept the right advice openly. The other half of the faith is surrendering before glorious God.
Those who have led a bad life have done what they wanted. They have had bad days and they became remorseful and fell on the ground and could not stand again.

Imam Reza (A.S) was asked: How did you spent last night? He (A.S) replied: whilst God was observing me, the Hell was before my eyes and the angles were waiting for my deeds to write them down. They write all deeds either good or bad. I spent the night till morning whilst my life was running so quickly.

Monday 2010-02-01
All the pure Imams (A.S) declare: There are three things which result in happiness for everyone in the two worlds:
1- Religious manner and morality.
2- Kindness toward people for God's sake, in a way that God approves.
3- Forgiveness for God's sake.

There are three things which cause misery for people in the two worlds, especially New Year's Eve:
1- Jealousy which has made all people condemned to Hell.
2- To indulge in alluring things for this alluring world will debilitate him!
3- Emulation which deprives man of comfort.

May God save us from these three misdeeds.

Wednesday 2010-01-27
Honored prophet (S.A) declares: Bases of atheism are four things:
1- To have greed, that is to be discontented with one's own share.
2- Inappropriate fear, in other words, when you are in a ceremony and it's the prayers time and the others are backbiting and reveling, your fear from them prevents you to say your prayers. Or a man fears his wife and commits a sin for her sake or he does not tell her the right. And vice the versa! A woman fears her husband and commits a sin for his sake or she does not tell him the right.
3- Discontent with life, that is to aspire the mortal world and its trappings. The master declared: These days most of the people have 90 percent of what they need or want and they are not happy or thankful for them. Besides, they are sad for the 10 percent which they lack.
4- Improper anger, that is getting angry is proper and right only for God's sake. It is mentioned in a hadith that if an allowed matter becomes forbidden or a forbidden matter becomes allowed and you do not become angry like a shot tiger, you are not a true believer.

Monday 2010-01-25
Hazrat Ali (A.S) declares:
Half of knowledge is being aware of your own ignorance, the other half is asking with modesty in order to learn.
If you want to know how much you are wise, notice how much you like it when given some advice.
If you want to know how much you are ignorant, notice how much you dislike it when given some advice.
Even if someone tells you something wrong it's not wise of you to become sad.

Whenever you expect someone to do something good for you, you do it for him first. And whenever you want to do something bad to someone, do it to yourself first. So you will know how it tastes? For what you do to the others, will turn back to yourself. You will fall into the hole which you have dug for the others. You reap what you sow.

Wednesday 2010-01-20
The fourth blest Imam (A.S) declares:
There is no greatness and nobility but in showing modesty and courtesy before people.
No one will be dear unless they be righteous and obedient before God.
No work will be valuable in this world but the one which is done with justice.
No one is servant and nor have they done servitude, unless they worship God.
And the wise who pray like the ignorant, break the heart of the holy prophet (A.S).
Beware that the worst enemy of God are those who follow the one who is not himself obedient to God and to the prophet (S.A).

The holy prophet (S.A) declared: After faith in God, there is nothing more wisely and worthy than making friends for God's sake and become enemy to some other people for God's sake.
The most suffered people are those who avoid committing sin.

Monday 2010-01-18
Glorious God declares in the holy hadith: As I do not demand that you do your tomorrow's prayers, you also do not request from me your tomorrow's livelihood. If you be content with your share, you'll have a healthy heart and your body will be in peace and comfort, and you'll be honorable and admirable.
But if you be malcontent, I dominate the world upon you, so that you will run after anything you need like a gazelle in the wilderness and you achieve nothing but what I destine for you, just you will be strayed and blamed.

There are three consequences in craving the mortal world:
1- Endless difficulties and sorrows.
2- Desires that you will never achieve.
3- You will lose your hope to anything.

So try to be content in life to achieve your demands and be calm and successful in your life.

Wednesday 2010-01-13
Honored prophet (S.A) declares: Inmates of Hell have three characteristics:
1- Arrogance and egocentricity which is very bad.
2- Lying, in which all sins are integrated.
3- Immorality, that is any speech or act which is not approved by God.

And he declares again: There are three things which stabilize friendship:
1- To tell a friend's fault as a mirror. The mirror whispers your faults to you, neither less nor more. It doesn’t either betray or tell it to someone else. The mirror tells it for your beauty.
2- To conserve his reputation behind his back.
3- To help him with difficulties.

And be aware that the jealous do not rest at peace.

Monday 2010-01-11
Honored prophet (S.A) declares: God declares: I like three deeds and I give fine rewards for them:
1- Doing religious duties, that is to say the right either it might harm him or be profitable to him, either people like it or not.
2- Showing modesty before people and before the right advice.
3- Doing good deeds for people only for God's sake.

He furthermore (S.A) added: Stupidity has three characteristics:
1- Improper jokes and wrong humor.
2- Improper and taboo hobbies, such as backbiting, wrong accusing and palavering.
3- Anger and violence which is not for God's sake.

Wednesday 2010-01-06
Hazrat Ali (A.S) declares: Some die and make people happy, but, this is the beginning of their own misery! Some others die and reach happiness while bring sorrow to people.

O' people, show goodness until it becomes a trait; show goodness to become one of the good.
If a disaster comes to you, sacrifice your wealth for your life. If your religion is hurt, sacrifice your life for your religion. Be aware that one who loses his religion is perished.

And one is rubbed whose religion has been taken from. So as long as paradise exists, there will be no poverty, and as long as hell exists, there will be no wealth and might!

O' people, a servant of God has not tasted true faith in God; otherwise he would never lie, either for fun or seriously, either big or small.
O' people I have never seen someone more abject and oppressed than a jealous.

Monday 2010-01-04
Imam Hassan Askari (A.S) declares: How bad it is when a Moslem desires something from inside which makes him abject.
O' people, there is no comfort and joy of life for the jealous nor is there bravery and conscience in the liar. For permanence of your honor be content with your solitude.

O' people, two things perish people in any zeitgeist:
1- Fear of poverty, that is they commit any crime for mortal world's sake and in order not to become poor.
2- Having pride and showing themselves off, that is they commit any sin to showing themselves off!

O' people, avoid loving mortal world for it is the cause of any sin or disastrous path and accompanies any sedition, and makes trouble. Those who are possessed by the mortal world will become abject.

O' people, any look that doesn’t teach a lesson is absurd. Any silence, in which there is no reflection, is ignorance. Any speech, in which there is no God recall, is useless.
