The most pleasant life is the life in which one never gets bored by remembering and worshiping God.
Believer is the one whose goodness and benevolence reach every one and he does his utmost best to do good to people and not even a single person is harmed or hurt by him.
Monotheism is to both believe in the lord of the universe and be a real servant for him, in other words, this belief must emerge in your actions. Then if worshiping is only done for him, not because of fear of the hell or due to the eagerness for the paradise, then you will have a divine power too- the beloved of the universe grants his powers to the pure servant.
According to Mubahile verse, the commander of faithful, Imam Ali (as), and his twelve sons, are higher in position than the divine prophets
On the pulpit of Shaam, Hazrat Sajjad (as) said: you murdered the one who all the angles, Jinns, the trees, the stones, the fish in the sea, the birds in air wept for him. No one cries for an unknown person.
Professor Ansarian: Be careful about your friendships, most of those who have gone astray has been due to their friendships
Defending Ali is the most beautiful Jihad. Speaking about Ali is the most beautiful Jihad. Following the commander of the faithful (peace be upon him) is the most beautiful Jihad. Imitating the commander of the faithful is the most beautiful Jihad. Following the government of the commander of the faithful (peace be upon him) is the most beautiful Jihad for a nation.
The Day of Arafah is for Imam Hussein (as). This ceremony is light; that is- we must hope that God will certainly forgive our sins, we must hope that crying for Imam Hussein will erase our sins.
أنَّ أَرْبَعَةَ آلاَ فِ مَلَكٍ شُعْثاً غُبْراً يَبْكُونَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
Imam Sadiq (as) states: four thousand anguished and grief‑stricken angels weep for Imam Hussein up to the Day of Judgment
Imam Sadiq (AS) said: The great reward comes along with the huge calamity. God does not love any group unless he causes them trouble.
The greatness of Imam Hussein is so magnificent that heavens and earth wept, cursed his killer. When the commander of the faithful, Imam Ali (as) saw him, he would say: O my father and mother be sacrificed for you.
God ordered to ask him, we must never say that God knows everything, why should we ask him? because God loves our talking, our voice, our supplication; this is alone a sort of worship; in fact, investing one's voice, tongue, heart is a precious act of worship.
