  Eid-ul-Fitr is a great day of festival for Muslims. It is a day of rejoicing and being happy. But for whom? Is it the day of rejoicing for those who simply put on new clothes and wear perfume? Or is it the day of being happy for those who were eagerly waiting for the release of the greatest enemy of mankind, Satan, from his captivity so that they all revert to committing sins? Unfortunate More ...

 Imam Ali ibn Abitaleb (AS) introduced two Divine Pillars for unity of Muslims. The holy Quran: A significant part of the holy Quran is dedicated to social and political concepts.

 Imam Ali ibn Abitaleb (AS) said: I read the Commands of God to you and you escape from it! And I advise you with eloquent and rational advice and you scatter. I encourage you to stand against the rebellious ones, and as yet my speech has not finished and like people of Saba’ you scatter and return to your meetings. And you deceive each other by false advice in order to eradicate the ef More ...

  In the Name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful Oh God, Oh He who extended the morning’s tongue in the speech of its dawning, dispatched the fragments of the dark night into the gloom of its stammering, made firm the structure of the turning spheres in the measures of its display and beamed forth the brightness of the sun through the light of its blazing! Oh He, who dem More ...

  A man came to Amir al- Muhmineen, Ali ibn Abu Talib and said, “I will ask you four questions, so give me their answers”: -What is compulsory, and what is most compulsory? -What is close-by, and what is most close-by? -What is amazing, and what is most amazing? -What is difficult, and what is most difficult? Imam Ali answered: -What is compulsory is Obeying and worshipping More ...

  The best of creation are those who judge more with truth, and the most beloved among them in the sight of Allah are those who are more truithful in speech One who is overcome [while he is] on the right, is victorious One who wages war against the truth is ruined Speaking the truth is better than inarticulateness and silence More ...

  Let not your attention towards the rights of a person [who is close to you] prevent you from establishing justice against him Falsehood and truth do not go together None is patient in the face of truth except the judicious and intelligent one There is no messenger more conveying than the truth There is no companion who is dearer than the truth One who takes the support of truth is not More ...

  One who opposes the truth is seized by powerlessness One who opposes the truth has taken Allah as his adversary One who is not saved by the truth is destroyed by falsehood One who transgresses the truth, his path becomes narrowed One who seeks honour through truth will be honoured by truth One who shows his face [in opposition] to the truth is destroyed One who takes the truth as his More ...

  Your returning to the truth, even if you get exhausted, is better than your comfort while clinging to falsehood In adhering to the truth, there is prosperity Abandon the one who has abandoned the truth fo other than it, and leave him and that which he has preferred for himself Little truth repels much falsehood, just as a little fireburns a log of firewood Speak the truth and you will b More ...

  Truth is an incisive sword Truth is the best way Truth is the strongest supporter Truth is the clearest course The truth is worthier of being followed Assisting one another to establish the truth is [a sign of] trustworthiness and faith Truth is a sword [to fight] against the followers of falsehood Truth is a refuge for every worker (and an arguement for every speaker) Through trut More ...

  How can one separate from falsehood when he has not attached [himself] to the truth? Falsehood has a [fixed] circuit There is no joy in a flash of lightening for one who is immersed in darkness One who embarks on falsehood, regrets One whose falsehood increases, his truth will never be accepted One who rides on falsehood, his mount will destroy him One who embarks on falsehood, his More ...

 One who is pleased with the action of a group is like one who participates in it with them, and for eveyone who participates in falsehood there are two sins: the sin of being pleased with it and the sin of acting upon it Falsehood is the opposer of truth Falsehood is a deceptive beguiler Falsehood is the weakest supporter Falsehood [is like a mount that] makes its rider stumble Falseh More ...

  The most destructive thing is persistent deviation. How many a deviation has been embellished by a verse from the Book of Allah just as a bronze dirham is embellished by a coat of silver. It is enough of an error for a person to command others to do what he does not do [himself] and forbids them rom that which he does not refrain from. For every deviation there is a cause. What is t More ...

  The surmise of a believer is a divination. The conjecture of a man is to the extent of his intellect. The conjecture of a person is the measure of his intellect and his action is the truest witness about his origin. The conjecture of the people of insight and intelligence is the closest thing to correctness. One whose supposistion [about others] is good, overloos [their lapses]. One wh More ...

When you see an oppressed p More ...
