HADIS. About the Judgment Day
On behalf of the Holiest Prophet (s):
“When the Judgment Day comes, there will sound the voice of the herald: “Let the one who did his actions not for the sake of the Most High Allah but for the sake of someone (something) else apply for reward to those he had valued”.
The lessons resulting from the hadises:
1. Stressed is the importance of ikhlas, that is of the actions done in the name of Allah the Most Compassionate and Merciful, which is the corner stone of Islam and also it is indicated that the reward for the deeds is only done by the Most High Allah;
2. Emphasized is the senselessness, from the standpoint of existence, of doing actions for the sake of anyone but the Most High Allah; as the true Lord of all the existence is the Most High Allah, then worshipping not Him but the categories of amorphous value such as people, one’s weak points and other idols of the like can cause nothing but irony;
3. The logic of Islam indicates the ways of achieving the real results in the matters of existence and because of that a pragmatic man must, turning down the temporary and deceptive values, do his actions not in order to obtain an agreement of some individuals, transitional and false idols but in accordance with the criteria defined by the Most High Allah – The Lord of the Judgment Day;
4. Being based on the above, the adherents of the true faith, especially the true believing male and female Muslims, are supposed, remaining faithful to the true Towkhid (belief in monotheism), to continue with dignity the way of ikhlas prescribed by the Great Prophet of Islam (s) and by his Ahli-Beyt (a).
HADIS. Halal (permitted) prosperity and forgiveness
On behalf of the Holiest Prophet of Islam (s):
“The one who sleeps at night because of tire as the result of obtaining the halal income, that one sleeps being forgiven”.
EXPLANATION. The hadis provides a number of fundamental values, which are of great importance for the spiritual development of a human being. This is the halal (nature) of a man’s income, achieving the success by one’s own labor and diligence, the tiredness as the result of namely the halal labor. On the other hand, the hadis discovers the dialectical connection between the tiredness of halal labor and such a spiritual category as the forgiveness. Thus, from the hadis it can be learned such an important idea that the plea to the Most High for the forgiveness is not just an abstract desire of a lazy man feeding on the inertia of his thinking but the real category reflecting the dynamical development, the public activity and the creative approach to the life of a man of business.
It would be so nice if a human being would never and under no circumstances forget that he is the bearer of the high mission – to be the slave of only the Most High Allah, the incomparable Creator of all the worlds, without worshipping anyone. So that he would taste the sweetness of tiredness caused by such labor. So that he would live achieving the forgiveness, salvation of the soul and getting to know the truth by means of one’s deeds.
SHEHADET
On the 25th of Shavval month (this year the said date corresponds to the 8th of December), of the year 148 of hijra, the day of the martyr death of the sixth Imam – Imam Jafar Sadig (a).
HADIS.
About the qualities attributive to a male
On behalf of Imam Ali (a):
“Superiority of a male is determined by his mind and the beauty – by his valor and moral features”.
REMARK:
The hadis indicates the criteria determining the true superiority and the true beauty of a male. From Islam point of view, such qualities as mind and valor are characteristic of a real male. And such qualities as corruptibility, immorality, cowardice, squalor and degradation are the indicators of lowness of their bearer. It goes without saying that the bearers of such the negative features are absolutely far from the image of a real male outlined by he Divine conception of courage.
HADIS.
About the persistence in a prayer
On behalf of the Prophet of Islam (s):
“The Most High Allah loves those who are persistent in prayers”.
REMARK:
It becomes clear from the hadis that the prayers and the pleas addressed to the Most High Allah have their particular features. Thus, just to utter them is not enough to achieve the goals. To get these prayers and pleas turn into the efficient means for achieving the goals and realizing the dreams, their persistent nature is of particular importance.
From this standpoint, it would be very correct if the people in their prayers were consecutive and persistent. For instance, if they persistently and consecutively pray to the Most High Allah to make them the perfect ones, to enrich them with a nice family and with the steadfast belief, pray for the liberation of the occupied territories of the Motherland, for sending down the universe welfare. By doing so, the people achieving the desired, at the same time would deserve the indulgence and the love of the Most High. It is necessary to note that such persistent and consecutive nature makes the striving of a man for achieving the set goal be more systematic, defines the optimality of the chosen direction and finally plays an important role in getting a man perfect.
HADIS. About a prayer
On behalf of the Prophet of Islam (s):
“The accepted will be the prayer read during the period between azan (the call for making namaz) and the igama (declaration of the intention to make namaz)”.
REMARK:
As it is seen from this good hadis, a prayer read between the azan and igama, prior to the namaz – the prop of the religion, is of the great value. According to this hadis it is recommended that between the call for namaz – the divine prescription, and the declaration of the intention, a man would sincerely and with the pure heart pray having addressed Allah.
It would be so nice if a man prior to such a nice worshipping as namaz, between azan and igama, addressing Allah, would not forget to ask Him for the true faith, the true health, the purification of his soul from the rust, for the soonest possible liberation of the occupied lands etc.
