Money

Money itself, is not a bad thing; money is the means for providing our every day needs.

But if in our hearts, we love money more than any thing else in our lives, then we should reconsider.

Unfortunately, money has become the base for many personal decision such as choosing spouses and carriers; relationships are breaking up because of money; in social and international levels, money has become the root-cause for many wars and conflicts ... .

It seems that money is becoming the Lord of human kind.

Ironically, in the ideal life which Allah promises human kind, money has no place in human life; considering this very important point, it seems that the smart way to live is -while using money as the means for providing needs- to base our decisions upon Divine values, upon sincerity, honesty, chastity and... .

These are the values which will last for ever; one day we may have money and the next day we may not but True values and beliefs can stay with us forever.

Whether a person is considered a winner or a loser should not be based on the amount of money that person has, rather it should be based on the amount of his faith and closeness to Allah.

The Prophet Mohammad (PBUH&HP) has always said that the smartest human is he who never forgets the Hereafter and answering to Allah.

Imam Saadeq(PBUH) has said:

... I swear to the one who split seeds under the soil and created human soul, there will come a time when money will not have a place in people's lives; because of God's grace ... everyone shall be rich and independent.

(Behaar-Ol-Anwaar,...)

Heart of Qur'an

Whenever we truly love someone, surely we try to learn about his/her likes and dislikes so that our love may grow into a true and satisfying relationship. In loving God, the matter becomes even more personal; because all pleasures are directed towards us; when Allah is pleased, our own souls and hearts become more peaceful, joyful and pleased. If we truly love God, then surely we wish to learn about His likes and dislikes. In Islamic narratives, it has been said that Allah becomes manifest in His Word, for His people. Thus, undoubtedly a sincere person -with all his love- studies the Word of God so that he may establish a heart-warming relationship with his Lord. On the one hand, the Old Testament, Book of kings 1, chapter 8, statement 9, indicates that the original Torah of the Prophet Moses (PBUH) was lost about 3000 years ago and never again found, while the book which is presented as Torah today is what has been written and rewritten by priests over centuries; on the other hand, history -as it is- is not presenting the original Gospel of the Prophet Jesus (PBUH), while over 100 gospels were written by others throughout the ages. BUT Qur’an; Qur’an is a direct revelation of Divine Word to the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH&HP); Qur’an is Unique; there exists no other book with this characteristic and significance! Qur’an in Surah Hejr, verse 9, indicates that Allah has promised to protect Qur’an from all distortions. Qur’an has a body and a spirit; the body of Qur’an is its letters and words which have remained unchanged for over 1400 years; all Muslims around the world have been reading the same verses and surahs of Qur’an for centuries; so from this aspect the promise of Qur’an has been fulfilled. But Qur’an also has a spirit. In Surah Qiamat, verse 19, Allah says that the clarification of Qur’an is a Divine matter; I.e. not just the Word of Qur’an but also its interpretations are from Allahand no one has the right to interpret Qur’an from himself. Allah in Surah Nahl, verse 44, told the Prophet that he (the Prophet) using the bestowed Divine Knowledge, was to clarify and explain Qur’an to people. Elsewhere in Surah Ale-Emraan, verse 7, it is indicated that only Allah and those who firmly penetrate into Knowledge, know the original meanings of Qur’an (Ta’wil); the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH&HP) has clearly clarified that those who firmly penetrate into Knowledge and the knowledge has been bestowed in their hearts (Surah Ankaboot, verse 49), are his God-chosen Successors, the 12 infallible Imams (PBUT). By Allah’s command, the Prophet in Qur’an , Surah Kahf, vs. 109, reminds humankind that if the oceans were ink for writing Allah’s Word and if the oceans were used and refilled and reused, still the writing of Allah’s Word would not have been finished! While Qur’an itself says that nothing has been left out in the Book(Surah An’aam, vs. 38)! It is more than obvious that Qur’an is not merely limited to letters and words printed on papers, rather Qur’an has many hidden secrets; secrets which clarify the words; secrets which keep the Word alive; secrets which only Mohammad and his progeny Know. While all Muslims read the same Qur’an,yet the essential differences between Shi’ah and Sunni are as different as night and day; these all stem from the interpretation of Qur’an; Shi’ah only gets it from the Prophet and his Divine Successors, as commanded by Allah. At Ghadir, the Prophet raised Ali’s (PBUH) hand and in front of over 100000 people, clarified -by Allah’s command- that the only one who knew the clarification and explanation of Qur’an , the only one who held the secrets of Qur’an in his heart, was Ali after him, and after Ali, his infallible children from Ali (PBUT). Ghadir was the public manifestation of an eternal guarantee; by the Divine placement of the Ahl-Ol-Bait next to Qur’an, Qur’an was protected from distortions, both its words and its interpretations; Ghadir was the means for the Divine promise to be fulfilled so that mankind -who is in love with his Lord- may never be without the Word of his beloved. Qur’an with Mohammad and his progeny (PBUT) at its side, will never be distorted and therefore, true monotheism remains. Ghadir is the heart of Qur’an; with the constant beatings of Ghadir throughout the ages, the warm blood of monotheism has been flowing in the veins of humanity… .Aminah.alqaem.org

Prayers and its Effects

The Holy Prophet (p.bu.h.) said: " The one who takes prayer light is not of me. No, by Allah, such a person will not reach the Haudh, Pond of abundant."

Man-La-Yahdhurul-Faghih, vol. 1,  p.152

Imam Sadiq (a.s.) said: "If there be a stream at the house of one of you in which the one washes himself five times a day, will there remain anything from the dirt over his body? Verily, the likeness of prayers is the same as the stream. The person who establishes ritual prayers clears out his sins thereby, except for the sin that takes him out from Faith he believes in."

Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 82, p. 236

The Holy Prophet (p.bu.h.) said: "An obligatory prayer, with Allah, is equivalent to one thousand Hajj pilgrimages and one thousand Umrah performances (voluntary pilgrimages to the Ka'ba) which are right and accepted."

Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 99, p.14

The Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) said: "Do not waste your prayers, because, surely, the person who wastes them will be raised with Croesus (Qarun) and Haman so that it is rightfully certain for Allah to put the one in hell with hypocrites."

Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 83, p. 14

The Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) said: "Say each of your prayer as if it were your last prayer."

Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 69, p. 408

Imam Amir-ul-Mu'mineen Ali (a.s.) said: "If a prayerful person knew to what extent he was surrounded by His Mercy, he would never raise his head from (the state of) prostration."

Tasnif-i-Qurar-ul-Hikam, p. 175

Imam Baqir (a.s.) said: "On the Reckoning Day, the First thing that the servant will be reckoned for is the prayer; therefore, if it is accepted, the rest (good actions) will be accepted, too, (otherwise, his other good deeds will not avail him.)"

Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 7, p. 267

At the last moments of his life, Imam Sadiq (a.s.) called his relations and companions and told them: "Verily, our intercession never reaches the one who takes prayers lightly."

Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 82, p. 236

Imam Baqir, the fifth Imam, (a.s.) said: "There are ten things that when a person meets Allah, the Almighty and Glorious, with them, he will enter Heaven:

Khisal by Saduq, p. 432

Imam Amir-ul-Mu'mineen Ali (a.s.) said: "For the God-fearing, prayer is a means of seeking nearness to Allah; and for the weak, the Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca) is as good as Jihad (fighting in the way of Allah). For every thing there is a levy, and the levy of the body is fasting. The Jihad of a woman is to afford pleasant company to her husband."

Nahjul-Balagha, saying 136

The Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) said: "There comes no night but that the angel of death calls to the dead in the graves and inquires what they regret for today when they have vividly seen (and known) this (next life). Then the dead will say: 'Verily, we regret and envy the believers who are in their mosques and they are praying while we are not; they give alms and we do not; they fast during Ramadhan but we do not; they donate in charity what they have more than the need of their family members while we do not; ..."

Irshad-ul-Qulub, p. 53

The Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) said: "At the (appointed) time of every prayer (salat), I hear a caller who calls and says: 'O children of Adam! keep up prayers in order to extinguish the fire you have lit against yourselves (by committing sins)."

Mustadrak-ul-Wasa'il, vol. 3, p. 102

The Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) said: "Be careful of the prayers, for, on the Day of Resurrection, when Allah, the Exalted, will bring the servant (for reckoning), the first thing that He will ask him about will be the prayer. If the one brings it completely, he will be of the people of salvation, otherwise, he will be thrown in the Fire."

Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 82, p. 202

Abubasir said that he visited Umm-i-Hamidah (Musa-ibn-Ja'far's (a.s.) mother) in order to console her for the death of Ja'far-ibn-Muhammad (a.s.). Then she wept and he wept because of her weeping. After that, she said: 'O' Aba Muhammad! If you had seen Ja'far-ibn-Muhammad when he was on his deathbed, you would have observed a wonderful thing: He opened his eyes and said to gather all of his relatives.' Then, she continued saying that they gathered them all with no exception. Then he (a.s.) looked at them and said: 'Verily, our intercession does not reach the one who takes prayers lightly."

Wasa'il-ush-Shi'ah, vol. 4, p. 26

The Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) said: "The worship done by the one who earns his living on unlawful money is similar to a building constructed upon sand."

Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 84, p. 258

Midnight Prayers

The Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) said: "The honour of a believer lies in his vigilance at night and his esteem lies in his autonomy from people."

Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 82, p. 202

Imam Amir-ul-Mu'mineen Ali (a.s.) said: "He who sleeps too much at night, will lose something of his deeds (i.e., night prayers) which he cannot gain during the day-time."

Qurar-ul-Hikam, p. 289

Imam Sadiq (a.s.) said that Allah (s.w.t.) in a revelation told Moses, the son of Imran (a.s.): "O' you son of Imran! those who only claim that they love Me, tell a lie, for when the night falls they neglect Me."

Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 13, p. 329

Imam Sadiq (a.s.) said: "Never miss midnight prayers! because, in fact, the real loser is he who misses (the advantage of) the midnight prayer."

Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 83, p. 127

Imam Sadiq (a.s.) said: "The Messenger of Allah (p.b.u.h.) told Gabriel to preach to him, and he said: 'Live howsoever you like but you will surely die; love whatsoever you like but you will surely depart from it; do whatsoever you like but you will certainly meet it (and receive its reward). The honour of a (Muslim) believer is his mid-night prayers, and his nobility is his refraining from (ruining) people's reputation."

Khisal by Saduq, p. 7

Imam Sadiq (a.s.) said: "There are three things which are the honour of a believer and his ornament both in this world and the next. They are: prayers in the last part of night (night prayers), not coveting what people posses in their hands, and the love (and leadership) of Imam from the progeny of Muhammad (p.b.u.h.)."

Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 75, p. 107

Imam Muhammad-ibn-Ali, Jawad-ul-A'immah, (a.s.) said: "He who has confidence in Allah, sees joy; and he who trusts on Him, He will suffice his affairs."

Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 83, p. 127

Allah our Lord

If we see a beautiful picture painted on good canvas, do we not think that an artist produced it?

If we see an automatic machine, regularly manufacturing articles, are we not led to think that there is an engineer who made, designed and invented its system?

If we see a book written in any scientific field, surely we are aware that an author wrote it?

Surely the picture could not have been created without an artist!

Surely the machine could not work without an engineer!

Surely the book could not be written without an author!

Is it possible to say that this book in your hand was written by chance?

Would you believe it if someone told you that it happened that the paper was scattered by wind, and ink was spilt on it, and thus the book was written?

Basic human sense does not believe such a supposition but rather, makes fun of it. Thus everything needs a maker or a creator; nothing can come into existence without there being an originator: the creator.

Look at the sky and do you not wonder how the bright and beautiful sun sends down its light and heat to the people on earth? Look at the land upon which we live and ask how do plants grow on it?

Look at the water we drink, the air we breathe; the sun when it sets and the night when it comes; then, look at the beautiful stars which are impossible to count, and the light of the moon.

Look, and then think how were these wonders created and who then created them? Are they created by themselves or do they have a creator who made them?

They are as in need of a maker or a creator, as a house which needs a builder to be built; or a chair, on which we sit, needs a carpenter to be made; or a picture needs an artist in order to be painted, or a book needs an author to be written. And certainly Allah is their Creator and Maker Who created everything.

Let us ponder about ourselves and our bodies, and ask:

Who created us in this unique way?
Who gave us two eyes with which to see?
And the tongue with which we talk?
And two hands with which we work?
And two legs with which we walk?
And two ears with which we hear?
Who created the food we eat and the water we drink?

Not the farmer who cultivated the crops nor the plumber who connected the pipes. Without food and water, one will surely die.

Who gave us the air which we breathe? Without air, surely we will suffocate and die.

Indeed, our Creator is He Who created the heavens, the earth, water, air and the stars. And He is All-Great and All-Powerful. It is He Who created and provided us with all these amenities of life.

Knowing Allah, His Greatness and His Grace

The Holy Prophet (p.bu.h.) said: "O' people! verily, there is no prophet after me, nor any Ummah after you (Muslims). So, take care to worship your Lord, perform your five ritual prayers, fast in the appointed month (Ramadhan), make Pilgrimage to the House of your Lord (Mecca), give the alms of your wealth in order to purify your souls thereby, and obey the Holders of Authority, so that you enter the Paradise of your Lord."

Khisal-i-Saduq, p.152

Imam Amir-ul-Mu'mineen Ali (a.s.) said: "Having the Greatness of the Creator in your mind would make you realise the insignificance of the creatures in your view."

Nahjul-Balagha, Statement 129

Imam Amir-ul-Mu'mineen Ali (a.s.) said: "Blessed is he who sincerely devotes the entirity of his actions, knowledge, love, hatred, receiving, relinquishing, speech, silence, deeds and statements absolutely to Allah."

Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 77, p.289

Imam Sadiq (a.s.) said: "The heart is the sanctuary of Allah, therefore, do not settle therein anything but Allah." (The sacred place of the heart belongs to Allah and Him alone. Therefore, keep the love of the world out of it.)

Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 70, p. 25

Imam Sadiq (a.s.) said: "Our true followers are those who, when they are alone, remember Allah abundantly." (That is, they avoid committing vices in private where there is no barrier for them to commit sin by the mere remembrance of Allah.)

Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 93, p. 162

Imam Baqir (a.s.) said: "By Allah, He, the Exalted, expects of people but two traits; that they confess for Him the blessings in order that He increases His bounties for them; and that they make confessions about their evil actions and then He forgives those sins for them."

Al-Kafi, vol. 2, p. 426

Imam Husayn-ibn-Ali (a.s.) said: "Verily, Allah, the Exalted, has not created human beings except for recognising Him and worshipping Him as (the consequence of ) knowing Him; and when they worship Him they would lack the need of adoring any human being (or things) other than Him because of that worship."

Safinat-ul-Bihar, vol. 2, p. 180

Imam Ali-ibn-ul-Husayn (a.s.) said: "There is no destruction (Hell) for a believer having three qualities: Confessing that there is no god besides Allah, the One Who has no partner; the intercession of the Messenger of Allah; and the vastness of the Grace of Allah."

Safinat-ul-Bihar, p. 517

I see God in every where to look at it.

I saw God in you again today
There in the gentle touch of your hand
I saw Him in your bright smile
Only God and I could understand.

I saw God in children as they play
I see Him in teens and older folks too
He is there in a stranger's face
I see God where I go and what I do.

I saw God in a baby's hand and smile
He was there in a beautiful rainbow
I saw Him in a quiet, calm stream
He is there when silent breezes blow.

As friends walked down the street
Talking and laughing as friends do

I saw God in their kindness today
It was then I also thought of you.

I saw God in the morning dew

He was there in the beauty of a flower

I saw Him as He created the sunset

I see Him every day and hour.

Aminah

Let go and let God.

They say that God is everywhere,
and yet we always think of Him as somewhat of a recluse.
God is within you,
but we place Him outside and worship Him.

God gives birds their food,
but they must fly for it.

Prayer is not changing God's reluctance but taking hold of God's willingness.


Who falls for love of God shall rise a stare.

If we just stop looking for the Red Sea to split,
we might see all the wonderful miracles
God makes all around us every day.

God does not care much for the importance of our work,
as for the love with which they are done.

All religions are paths but the paths are not God.

God is that, the greater than which cannot be perceived.

Love is the highest gift of God.

Abstaining from luxuries is the way to God.

By practicingGod's remembrance,
your inner being will be illuminated little by little,
and you'll achieve some measure of detachment from the world.

God is the East and the West
and wherever you turn, there is God's face.


The prayer most acceptable to
God comes from a thankful heart.

Sooner or later you have to seek God. Why not now?

whoever wants to find God will find a way to Him.

Sleep in peace, God is awake.

God brings men into deep waters,
not to drown them but to cleanse them.

Know that all which is other than God veils you from Him.

All God's testing has a purpose, someday you'll see the light.
What He asks is that you trust Him, walk by faith and not by sight.

God, often in His wisdom,sends angels down to walk with us.
We know them best as friends.

Don't pray that God's on your side; pray that you're on His side.

Some people think it is unfair for

God to put thorns on roses.

Others praise Him for putting roses on thorns.

A person who is not kind, doesnt know God, because God is love.

The Quran on God's Love

Quran, Chapter 3, Verses 31 and 32:

Say: if you love God, then follow me, God will love you and forgive you your faults, and God is forgiving, merciful
Say: obey God and the messenger; but if they turn back, then surely God does not love the unbelievers

Islam in one sense is different from some other major religions of the world. The picture of God that has been depicted in Quran, as we Muslims all believe, is a combination of love toward good people and aversion toward bad people. This has been repeated in at least 40 verses of holly Quran with a clear definition for good people and bad people. This article aims to distinguish between these two groups based on Quranic verses and clarify the image of people whom God loves.

As mentioned in above two verses, the first step is to follow the path that has been shown to us by god's messenger. This is the most beautiful picture that one can demonstrate as a mutual love. If you do love your God, you are therefore prompted to follow the path that has been shown to you and prepare yourself to receive his love. But it is also stated that the people who do not follow the right path are not to be loved by God.

This may need a little bit more clarification on the definition of right path and people who are to be loved by God. Perhaps the most distinguished characteristic for these people which has been mentioned in 5 verses of Quran (2:195, 3:134, 3:148, 5:13 and 5:93) is to do good to others. Doing good could be helping poor people, supporting orphans or even respecting one's parents which have been also mentioned in various verses of Quran.

Others, based on Quran, are people who:

guard themselves against sin (3:76, 9:4, 9:7)
judge fairly (5:42, 49:9, 60:8)
fight in God's way (61:4)
purify themselves (2:222, 9:108)
turn much to God (2:222)

trust in God (3:159)
and are patient (3:146).

On the other hand, God does not love the person who is:an unbeliever (3:32, 30:45)
arrogant (16:23, 4:36, 31:18, 57:23)cruel (3:57, 3:140, 42:40)
unfaithful and ungrateful (2:276, 22:38)
exceeding the limits (2:190, 5:87, 7:55)
extravagant (6:141, 7:31)
mischief-maker (2:205, 5:64, 28:77)
treacherous (8:58, 4:107)
and exulting in riches (28:76)
