THE QURAN AL - KARIM

Whoever sits down to read this Koran, will surely stand up from it with additions or flaws, yaithu increases in getting directions, or flaws and heresies.

The Book of Allah with which you see, with which you speak, and with which you hear. Some of the Quran speaks with others, and some of it testifies to others. He does not dispute about Allah and does not contradict his friend (reader) about him.

It is enough that the book of Allah is a disputant and an opponent.

Look to Allah, O mankind, in regard to your duty to guard his Book, and He has entrusted you to safeguard its rights. Verily, Allah, the Most Holy, has declined the book of instruction which explains in good and evil. So take the path of good, and you will be able to gain guidance; and turn away from the path of evil, you will surely be on the straight path.

What a happy word I have in the Qur'an that I hope he will find the one who crosses the line against him: Allah says: I will give him my torment to whom I will and my mercy covers all things..... (QS 7:156). Thus Allah has made it a common mercy, while a special (exercise) punishment.

Whoever recites the Koran, then dies and goes to hell, then he is among those who make the verse of Allah as a game (mockery).

In the Qur'an there is news of people before you, of what will happen after you, and of the law that decides what happens between you.

The parable of a believer who reads the Quran like an orange (utruj), it smells and tastes good. The parable of a believer who does not read the Quran is like basil, it smells, but it is bitter. And the parable of a man who does not recite the Qur'an is bitter and has no smell.

FAITH AND NATURE OF A BELIEVER

Imam Ali once asked about faith, he replied, "faith has four pillars, namely: patience, belief, justice, and jihad.

Patience has four cabarngs: longing (shauq), fear (shafaq), zuhud, and anticipation (taraqqub). Whoever longs for heaven will forget all the temptations of lust. Whoever fears hell will leave behind everything that is forbidden. Whoever is the unjust in the world, he will take all misfortunes lightly. And whosoever anticipates death, he shall hurry to do charity.

Confidence has four branches, namely: to look at everything with discernment of mind, to interpret with wisdom, to make the lesson as advice, and the sunnah of the ancients. Whoever looks at everything with the sharpness of mind will be clear to him. Whosoever is clear to him is wise, he shall know a lesson. And whosoever knows the lesson, as if he were among the ancients.

Justice has four branches, namely: to explore understanding, to deepen knowledge, to know the essence of the law, and to be firm in patience. So, ready goods that understand, he will know the depth of science. Whoever knows the depth of knowledge will come out of it. And whosoever is patient, he shall not exceed the limits in all his affairs and shall live in the midst of society as a commendable man.

Jihad has four branches: to invite goodness, to prevent evil, to be straight in every circumstance, and to hate the wicked, then, whoever invites to good, he helped the believers. Whoever prevents the disbelief, he humbles the disbelievers. Whosoever is straight in every circumstance, all his needs will be fulfilled. And whosoever hates the wicked and is angry with Allah, Allah will be angry with his anger, and He will make it glad on the Day of Resurrection."

Confidence has four pillars: interrogation, opposition, deviation, and division. Who is interrogating (excessively). He will not reach the truth. Whosoever has much to contend with foolishness, he shall always be in error. And whosoever is divided, it will be difficult for him to walk the road which he passes, it will be difficult to deal with, and it will be narrow for him to have a way out. Doubt has four branches: mutual hostility, fear, doubt, and resignation. Whoever makes the debate as usual, the night will not come in the morning. Whoever fears what is in his presence will retreat. Whoever hesitates is in doubt, the tip of the devil's fingernail will enter. And whosoever resigns to the destruction of the world and the Hereafter, he shall perish in the world and the Hereafter.

Faith is understanding with the heart, confession with the tongue, and action with the limbs.

Indeed faith appears as a point in the heart; every time it increases, it increases.

Verily, our business - the Apostle of the temple - is difficult, and no one can bear it except a believing servant who has been tested by God in faith, and no one accepts and memorizes our hadith except a trusted breastplate and a person of strong insight.

The believer, when he sees, learns, when he speaks, he recites; if he is rich, he gives thanks; and if he is doomed he is patient.

Don't hang out. Except with those whose thoughts remind you of God, his words add to your charity, and his deeds motivate you to remember the Hereafter.

The joy of the believer is seen in his face, while his sadness, stored in his heart, his chest is the most spacious (patient) and mersa himself the most despicable. He dislikes position and hates reputation. Long sadness. Distant mind. Much silence. Busy time. Much gratitude and patience. Drowning in his mind clinging to solidarity. Easily combatted. The submissive and his soul are harder than the flint, while he is more (feeling) despicable than a slave.

The words of Imam Ali a.s about a believing ruler; among the signs that can be believed in the religion of God after confession and deed are firm in his command, honest in his words, and sincere in his words, fair in his law and have compassionate nature towards his people. His power did not make him not exceed the limits. His hospitality did not make him weak. His majesty did not prevent him from granting forgiveness. And his forgiveness does not make him waste the law.

Fear the misgivings of the believers, for Allah Ta'alla makes truthful in their tongues.

The rest of the life of a believer is worthless, he will gain his share of what is missed from him and turn on what he has turned off.

The glory of a believer is his indifference to man.
