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

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. (Biharul 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”
