Bismillah-ir Rahman-ir Rahim

In a hadith from Imam Ali peace be with him to his close companion, Kumayl bin Ziyad, the Imam explains why he believes knowledge is better than wealth; he states that "knowledge protects you while you have to protect your wealth".

In the day and age we live in, we are first handedly experiencing an intellectual onslaught on Islam. Today our youth, and even older generations, are faced with great challenges that sometimes bring about major doubt regarding different aspects of religion and God; doubts that slowly erode one’s faith and negatively impact one’s religious devotion. The days where people lived in isolation and didn’t have to worry about addressing what was happening outside are long over. Due to communications, the world has virtually transformed into a small village in which people are connected to one another whether they like it or not.

In the past, it wasn’t too hard to dismiss such intellectual and academic challenges; just the fact that you were born and raised in a certain culture was enough to ignore it all. But now times have changed and something is needed to protect us from these dangers; culture and emotions aren’t enough anymore. We are witnessing more and more questions being raised by our fellow Muslims and how in some cases, these lead to them denouncing their religion, denomination (Shiism), or at the very least, becoming much weaker in their faith. As a matter of fact, this might be what is meant by the famous hadith that discloses to us how in the end of times, preserving one’s faith will be harder than holding on to hot coal; that in the end of times, there will be so many challenges and doubts that one will find it hard to hold on to their faith.

Therefore, we are in need of something to protect us from all of the above, and as the hadith of Imam Ali peace be with him to Kumayl clearly tells us, what protects us is knowledge. It is only with knowledge that such challenges can be countered. It is only with sufficient knowledge that one can fight against intellectual arguments and point out their fallacies. It is only with such that one can reconcile between seemingly conflicting tenants of religion and prove the absence of any discrepancies.

🎆The significance of the event of al-Mubahala

💠. It proved to be a silencing lesson for all the people that never be the subject of imprecation by the Prophet and Progeny peace be with them.

💠. The invitation of 'Mubahala' was directed by God, and it was in compliance with His Command that the Prophet took his Ahl-ul Bayt along with him to the field of Mubahala. This serves to generalize how affairs pertaining to Apostleship and the religion of God are determined by the Will of God; allowing no margin of interference from the common people (Ummah). The matter of Imam Ali's succession followed by eleven Imams to the office of religious leadership should be viewed in this perspective.

💠. The indispensability of ‘Ali, Fatimah, Hasan and Husayn in following the precepts of the Prophet could no longer be disputed. This event established who the members of the Prophet’s household (Ahl-ul Bayt) were, and their spiritual purity.

💠. That notwithstanding their childhood, Imam Hasan and Imam Husayn did, nevertheless, serve as the active partners of the Prophet in the field of Mubahala. This yields the conclusion that age is no criteria for the greatness of the infallibles (Ma’sumeen). They are adorned with virtues, wisdom and knowledge.

💠. That the Holy Prophet's act of having preferred a few obviously elevates their status above all others.

✔️I imagine that the walk to Imam Hussain (peace be with him’s shrine) on Arbaeen is from the most important keys and strongest (activities) of this blessed movement for spreading the message of (Imam) Hussain (peace be with him). However, subject to conditions, (it is) to benefit and profit (people) in knowledge, thought, education, and awakening of the Ummah. however, is this happening or not?

✔️We see all the tents (during the walk), (so) what is their purpose? Is their purpose and aim intellectual and educational? Or is their purpose just to give food and other services? Which one of them? May God reward those who are presenting these services (of food, water, and other services to the pilgrims)!

✔️However, the issue (at hand) is greater than (just) these services (of food etc). Imam Hussain (peace be with him’s objective) wasn’t just for people to walk to him 500 km or 5000 km. Rather he wanted his cause to be a torch that gives light to the path, to humanity. That is why if you were to refer to Imam Hussain’s (peace be with him) speech in Karbala, you will find him saying,

✔️ “If you don’t believe in the last day (day of Judgment), then (at least) be free men in your world!”

✔️(If) These words aren’t directed to me, (then) who is it directed to? To the Shi’a… No! To the Muslims… No! To those who believe in God… No! (Rather) it was directed to all of humanity, even to those who don’t believe in the Day of Judgment.

✔️This is who Hussain (peace be with him) is. (So) what I say now is directed to all those millions that go to the grave of Abi Abdillah al Hussain (peace be with him). We find the (above) hadith very clear… even if there isn’t a narration, we don’t need it, the Quranic text suffices. Are we at the present moment able to benefit (truly) from these rites and send a message to humanity, or do we find (with great regret) that this holy act and this sacrifice (of Imam Hussain peace be with him) of which there is none like it in history and even till the Day of Judgment a like will never come, has it (instead) fallen into the hands of ignorant people?

✔️I say ignorant, however I don’t doubt the intentions of anyone. I’m not saying that those who call towards some of these acts are like this or that… Never! But what I want to say, is that these acts are in reality in opposition to the movement of Imam Hussain (peace be with him) and it is upon the religious institutions (which) I shout and say again (that it is) upon the religious institutions to take these affairs relating to Imam Hussain (peace be with him) and to make them the most important thing for humanity, and to wake up the Ummah to reach the aims that Imam Hussain (peace be with him) wanted.

'we found our fathers following a creed and we are indeed following in their footstep' (Quran 43:23).

🔹The prophets' communities were very diverse as far as their traditions were concerned. Every prophet raised an issue which was relevant to his community's way of life and faced a problem unique to that community. Yet there was one problem common to all communities and which all prophets faced, and that was the burden of imitating forefathers and predecessors; in today's parlance, it is called 'traditionalism' [(pertaining to cultural customs)]. On the contrary, the prophets awakened the peoples minds, telling them to think..

🌹Imam Husain (peace be with him) asked his father, Imam Ali (peace be with him) in regards to the silence of the Prophet (peace be with him and his progeny):

🍃"His silence was based on four things:

1) Forebearence
2) Caution
3) Consideration
4) Contemplation

🔹As for (his silence in) consideration, this was in order to look and listen to everyone carefully.

🔹As for contemplation, it was about what remains and what perishes [awe of the permanent reality of God, and the finitude of the universe and nature].

🔹He had a perfect balance of forebarence and patience. Nothing would enrage him or upset him

🔹He was cautious in four things: in his doing a good deed so that others would emulate him, in his abandoning evil so that others would also reject it, in his struggle to make the best decisions to reform his community, and in his performing that which secures the good of this world and the next".

💠💠💠🔻💠💠💠💠🔻💠💠💠
✳️Imām Ali ibn-e Mūsa-ar Redhā (peace be with him) said:
✳️"The intellect of a Muslim is not complete until he carries ten qualities:
💠1- (Only)Good is expected from him
💠2- There is no evil (at all) expected from him
💠3- He perceives others' small good deeds as great
💠4- Perceives his own great good deeds as little
💠5- He doesn't get tired of people asking him to fulfil their requests (or needs).
💠6- He never gets tired of seeking knowledge and wisdom throughout his life
💠7- Poverty (in being) with God is dearer to him than being rich (and not being with God.
💠8-a Humble life with God is dearer to him than dignity and honor with God’s enemy
💠9- Obscurity (being unpopular) is preferable than being famous".

Then the Imam (peace be with him) said: "and as for the tenth quality, you don’t know how important that is?!"
One asked: what is it?

💠10-The Imam then said: "It is to regard and assume others as better and more pious.
✳️Then Imam said: People are of two kinds:
A- Better and more pious than him
B- Evil and much lower (in humanity) than him.

🔻When he meets one who is more evil and lower than him, he says: perhaps the good of that man is hidden (within) and this is in the best interest for that man, while his own good is apparent and this is not good for him.
🔻When he meets with those who are better and more pious than he is, he behaves modestly and humbly in order to join the rank of that pious man. If he does this, his glory will be lofty, good deeds accepted, (and) his remembrance (and reputation) will excell.
🔻(All of which, these qualities will make him) the master of the people of his time".

📚 Tohaf-ul Uqūl, Maxims of Imām Redha, no. 17 @AbodeofWisdom

✳️✳️इमाम रेज़ा का उपदेश है,
✳️एक मुसलमान की बुद्धि और समझ तभी पूरी (हो सकती) है जब उसके भीतर (उसकी अभिवृत्ति, चरित्र और स्वरूप) में (निम्नलिखित) दस प्रकार के गुण मौजूद हों।

💠१- उससे केवल भलाई की उम्मीद हो।
💠२- उससे किसी भी प्रकार की बुराई की आशंका ना हो।
💠३- दूसरों की भलाई को अधिक समझे
💠४- अपनी भलाइयों को कम जाने या कम समझे।
💠५- दूसरों की सहायता और मदद करने में कभी ना थके और ना तंग आये।
💠६- विद्ध्या और ज्ञान सीखने से पूरे जीवन में कभी ना थके।
💠७- ईश्वर की राह में निर्धनता, ग़रीबी और मुफ़लिसी उसे अधिक पसंद है (अर्थात धनी होना पाप के रास्ते से उसे बिलकुल गवारा नहीं)
💠८- ईश्वर की राह में दीनता और विनय उसे अधिक प्रीय है, (अर्थात शान, गरिमा और मर्यादा पाप के रास्ते से उसे बिलकुल गवारा नहीं)
💠९- अप्रसिद्ध और आलोकप्रीय होना उसके लिए प्रसिद्धता से अधिक महत्वपूर्ण है।

इसके बाद इमाम कहते हैं; फिर दसवीं चीज़! वह कितनी महत्वपूर्ण है:

प्रश्न हुआ इमाम से “और वह क्या है?”

💠इमाम फ़रमाते हैं, इंसान जब भी किसी को देखे तो कहे (ये समझे) की वह दूसरा इंसान उससे बेहतर और।

✳️इमाम फ़रमाते हैं; याद रहे लोग दो प्रकार के हैं
१- कुछ लोग जो तुमसे अच्छे हैं
२- और कुछ लोग जो तुमसे बुरे हैं।

🔺फिर जब तुम उनसे मिलो जो तुमसे बुरे और पस्त हैं तो कहो (ये मानो) इस आदमी की अच्छाई उसके भीतर छुपी है और यही उसके लिए फ़ायदे मंद (भला और बेहतर) है।
🔺और फिर जब वह किसी ऐसे इंसान से मिले जो उससे अच्छा है तो उसके सामने तवाजो करे ताकि उससे और नज़दीक हो सके। जब ऐसा करेगा तो इस इंसान की प्रतिष्ठा और मान बढ़ेगा। उसकी अच्छाई बढ़ेगी। लोग ऐसे इंसान को अच्छे नाम से याद करेंगे।
🔺और अपने ज़माने के लोगों के दरमियान सबसे अच्छा इंसान माना जाएगा।

💠🌸It is narrated that once on the day of Arafah,

💠🌸Imām Zayn-ul Ābedīn (peace be with him) heard a beggar asking for alms. The Imam said to him, “Woe to you! Are you asking others besides God on this day, a day when even unborn infants in the bellies of their mothers are expected to partake of God’s grace and attain felicity?!”4
📚Faqīh, vol. 2, p. 212

एक बार एक आदमी “अरफ़ह” के दिन इमाम सज्जाद के पास मदद माँगने को आया, इमाम ने फ़रमाया के तुम आज के दिन ईश्वर के सिवाय किसी और से माँग रहे हो जबकि आज के दिन माँ के पेट में मौजूद बच्चे को भी ईश्वर आपनी कृपा और बरकत से नवाज़ता है। और तुम आज किसी और से माँग रहे हो !

نقل است كه حضرت سجاد عليه السلام سائلی را كه در روز عرفه برای دريافت كمک نزد ايشان آمده بود، خطاب قرار داده و فرمودند: وای بر تو كه در چنين روزی كه فرزندان در شكم مادرانشان بخشش و رحمت و بركت از خداوند دريافت ميكنند، از غير خدا طلب كمک می كنی.
