HAPPY BIRTHDAY OF IMAM ALI BIN MUSA AL-REZA (AS)

Sayings of Imam Ali Raza (AS)

*May Allah bless the one who keeps our "deen" and "wilayat" alive. The narrator asked: How can we keep it alive? Imam (AS) said: By learning the knowledge given by us and teaching it to others. Once people realize the truth in our sayings, they will definitely follow us. [Al Hayat vol 1 pg # 59, Navadirul Akhbar Pg #18]

* Best of all are the people who are content after doing good, say "istighfar" after a sin, express gratitude after being blessed with a "nemat" and are patient and thankful when they are in trouble. [Biharul Anvar vol 78 pg # 338]

* On the Judgment Day, Allah will remove all worries from the heart of a person who assists a momin. [Al Kafi vol 2 pg # 200]

* Don't expect any good from the one who does not have these five qualities:

(i) A good family background

(ii) A merciful heart

(iii) A consistent personality

(iv) A good nature

(v) Fear of Allah [Biharul Anvar vol 78 Pg # 339]

* Anyone who strives to acquire livelihood for his family will be given more rewards than the one who does Jihad for Allah. [Tohoful Uqool Pg # 470]

* Man's wisdom is his friend and his ignorance is his enemy. [Anvarul Bahiya Pg # 100]
