There is an astounding narration by ImÄm KÄdhim (pbuh), which is as follows:
If I investigate among my Shiites, I see that they only claim to act! And if I test them, they will turn to commit heresy (disbelief)!
If I purify them, there will be just one pure and honest among one thousands! Also, if I sift the people, just my special ones and family members will be around me!
Not only did religion provide some programs for us to have a calm life, but also it persisted in it. This calmness has various aspects: physical, mental, personal, social, vocational, and non-vocational. It also includes the ways to eat, wear clothes, have private affairs among the married ones, sleep calmly, relationships with neighbors and friends.
On the whole, if you want to figure out whether you are close to God or not, you can see whether you are calm or not!
Many discomforts bring forth sin in humans! Also, there are some discomforts that are typically sins; therefore, the sinners are to repent.
Now pray, “O, God! I repent for each moment, I haven’t had tranquility!â€
According to ImÄm AlÄ« (pbuh)’s words, “The faithful/ believers enjoy both spiritualties [celestial] and the world [terrestrial], compared to others!†(Nahj al BalÄghah, the Letters 27)
Why is that? It’s because, religion teaches the techniques of enjoying the world, through its psychological techniques.
ImÄm á¹¢Ädiq (pbuh) stated:
A Muslim’s prayer for their brothers [other Muslims] in their absence, makes him to be safe from the calamities and gifts him God’s blessing. Also, the divine angels call him/ her, ‘You will be gifted twice the things, you prayed [wished] for your brother!’
When the ships that carry the captives landed on the shore, you can see a crowd of bondmen. Also, a group of deputies of Bani AbbÄs’s Emirs and a few Arab young men will gather around them. All day long, you have to be on the lookout for the slaver named “Amroo ibn YazÄ«dâ€. You will wait up to the time, he will introduce the bondwoman who has such and such features… she will wear a silk clothes.

One of the ways to reduce suffering is to choose some of the suffering ourselves! After accepting the philosophy of suffering, a wise individual will mention, “As I cannot get rid of suffering, I will choose some of them myself [and embrace it].†If we choose a positive and meaningful suffering, God will reduce our suffering two or more times; such as by giving alms/donations or so on. Although giving alms is a little suffering, poverty is making you suffer more!
This verse tells us that love (not other attributes that we may think are love, but actual love), will come only after belief. Interestingly this verse comes at the end of Surah Maryam and lady Maryam was the mother whose practices created for her a prophet son who brought love to the world and through this heart ability of his (Allah’s gift), was able to bring the dead to life with the permission of Allah.Â
Although in some AḥÄdÄ«th which are about ImÄm MahdÄ« (mGehr)’s rise, by the Messenger of God (pbuh&h) and his Ahl al Bayt (pbu th), it has been clarified that he is definitely the son of 11th ImÄm “AskarÄ« (pbuh)â€, because the people knew all Ahl al Bayt (pbu th) as “The best guide for people†and “Guided By Godâ€; therefore, facing cruelty and violation, they took refuge to one of them as “ImÄm MahdÄ« (mGehr)†[It was a sort of psychological need to a divine ImÄm]. They would also take some other people with themselves.
When the youth are going to get married, we should advise them, “The marital life [marital life] includes suffering! And the philosophy behind it is, there must happen some disagreements among the wives and husbands, so that they can progress. Otherwise, why should these two opposite sexes (men and women who cannot easily understand each other), live together?
Once, I went to the area “Askar†in Samarra to visit ImÄm AÅŸr (mGehr). I didn’t introduce myself to anyone and didn’t speak with my intention with anyone. But all of a sudden, an individual came to me and ordered, “Stand up!†I wondered, “Where are we going?!†He replied, “To our house!†I expressed, “I suppose, you have mistaken me for someone else. [Tell me,] what is my name?!
