Luminous quotes

Faith is not a matter of wishful thinking, but faith is words that are thought out and actions that are done.

Our predecessors did not differentiate between faith and action. Action comes from faith and faith comes from action.

The Imams I met used to say: Faith is word and deed, it increases and decreases.

If God had punished the people of His heavens and the people of His earth, He would have punished them, and He is not unjust to them, and if He had had mercy on them, His mercy would have been better for them. Of their deeds, even if you had a mountain of Uhud in gold or something like the mountain of Uhud to spend in the path of God, it would not be accepted from you until you believe in predestination and then you know. That what befalls you was not going to miss you, and that what missed you was not going to befall you, and that if you die in a state other than this, you will enter Hell.

I heard the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, say: If God had punished the people of His heavens and the people of His earth, He would have punished them, although He was not unjust. And if He had had mercy on them, His mercy would have been better for them than their deeds. And if you had gold as much as Uhud, or gold as the mountain of Uhud. You spend in the cause of God what has come before you until you believe in destiny and know that what has befallen you would not have caused you to miss, and that what has missed you would not have missed you. It may happen to you, and if you die other than this, you will enter Hell.

It was said to Salman Al-Farisi, may God be pleased with him: What will people say until you believe in destiny, its good and evil? He said: When you believe in destiny, you know that what If you made a mistake, it would not have happened to you, and what befell you would not have missed you. And do not say: If you had done such-and-such, such-and-such would have happened, even if you had not done so and so. I did such and such, it was not so and so.

Something that God Almighty did not want to reveal to you, so do not want from God Almighty what He has refused from you.

Piety is the pursuit of knowledge by which piety is known. Among some people, it is prolonged silence and lack of speech, but it is not like that. The knowledgeable speaker is better in my view and more pious than the silent ignorant person.

We forbade affectation

Set for yourself in everything a goal for which you hope for strength and completion, and know that if you exceed your goal in worship, you will fall short, and if you exceed it in carrying knowledge, you will join the ignorant, and if you exceed it in trying to please people and being gentle with them in their needs, you will be lost and wasted.

And if he is counted as noble fathers, he is considered worthy, then the stick does not bear fruit, and if it is a branch of fruits, people use it for firewood.

Do you see that the people need you, and among the people among the companions of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, who do you see?” He left that and accepted the question. If he was to inform me of the hadith about the man, I would come to him and he would say, “He is sleeping at noon time.” I would lay down my cloak at his door, and a wind would blow over the face of the dirt, and he would come out and see me, and he would say, “O cousin of the Messenger of God.” What brought you, did you not send for me and I will come to you and I will say, “No, I have the right to come to you and ask him about the hadith.” He said, “Then the man stayed until he saw me and the people had gathered around me.” He said, “This young man was wiser than me.”

I hoped you would have knowledge of him.” He said such-and-such.
