1 Chapter Measure of Deliberation Imam sadegh (a.s.) says: ?????? ???? ??????????? ? ??????????? ???????????? ????????? ???????? ?? ???????? ???????? Translation improving the situation of life and association is possible through using a measure, two third of which is vigilance and one third of which is negligence.(1) Brief description no work is started without any study, plan and vigilance, and also no work is accomplished without negligence. iis more clear and better to say if we want to work without investigation and carefulness, we will not succeed. but if we want to linger for all possible probabilities and unpredicted events when per- forming the works, we would not be able to do a work easily, and have to study for years to do something or to select a friend, partner, spouse and such like. so it is said two third vi- gilance and one-third negligence. 1 - from the book tohafol oghoul, page 267 2 2 Chapter They are Strict for Body"s Food but... Imam hassan (a.s.) says: ???????? ?????? ??????????? ?? ?????????? ?????? ?? ??????????? ?? ???????????? ??????????? ???????? ?? ???????? ? ??????? ???????? ?? ?????????. Translation I wonder those who think about their body"s food, but do not think about their soul"s food. they keep away disturbing food from their belly, but fill up their heart with destructive sub- jects.(1) Brief description As our great imam has said, our people are usually strict for their corporeal food, and do not start eating unless under the light, and do not open their mouth unless with open eyes. they avoid doubtful foods and some observe thousands of sanitary points in feeding body. But for the spirit"s food, they, with closed eyes and under darkness of unawareness, pour any suspicious mental food into their soul. they simply accept speeches of unsuitable friends, misleading presses and suspicious or poisonous propagation, and this is very surprising. 1 - Safinatol behar, article of taste 3 3 Chapter Role of Pen Imam Sadegh (a.s.) says: ?? ???????? ??????? ???????? ?????????? ???? ????????! Translation I have not seen any weeper nicely smiling like a pen.(1) Brief description Pen divulges the feelings and interprets the wisdom of man. Pen is founder of civilizations and rotates the wheels of soci- ety. pen illustrates the worrying pains of men through its con- tinuous weeping, and also cheer of love, desire for life, mystery of life and thousands of beauties are hidden in the smile show- ing always within its lips. But it is regretful that when this pen is in hands of an incom- petent person, its tears will change to drops of blood, and its smile is a snicker on the utmost human credits. 1 - From the book lataef and zaraef 4 4 Chapter Between Two Great Responsibilities Imam Sadegh (a.s.) says: ???????????? ?????? ????????????: ?????? ???? ????? ????????? ?? ?????? ?????? ??? ? ?????? ?????? ???????? ?? ?????????? ??? Translation A faithful believer is always anxious for two things; for his past sins that he does not know how god will treat with him, and for his remaining life that he does not know what he will do!(1) Brief description The most manifest sign of belief is feeling responsibility, both for what have been already done and for the duties and obliga- tions that should be done. Those having these two feelings, are always thinking about compensation of past negligence, as well as finding the best possible way for using future opportunities. these thoughts are codes of development and progress of a man or a nation. those neither thinking to the previous actions, nor intending to build the future, are poor and miserable. 1- Osoule kafi, volume two, page 7 5 5 Chapter Causes For Destruction of a Society ???????? ?? ???????? ??????? ????????? ?????? ???? ?????? ?? ???? ???????? ?????????????: ?????????? ? ??????????? ?? ?????? ???????? ? ????? Translation There are four things that when one of them enters into a home, it will be ruined, and divine blessing does not reestab- lish it: treachery, larceny, drinking, adultery(1) Brief Description Not only the homes, but also the societies are not excepted from this rule. When treachery penetrates into a society, the spirit of confid- ence is disappeared thereof. And when larceny, in its different forms, appears therein, peace will not be found anymore. And when wine drinking becomes popular among people, they will have weak thoughts, disable children and useless youths. And when they are stained with adultery, the foundation of families will be weakened and their next generation will be mischievous. 1 - From Nahjol Fesahah 6 6 Chapter Indolence and Poverty Imam Ali (a.s.) says: ???? ????????? ????? ??????????? ????????? ????????? ? ????????? ???????? ??????????? ????????? Translation The day in which everything married with one another, "in- dolence" and "weakness" mingled with each other, and their child was called "poverty and indigence".(1) Brief description Everything is earned through attempt and endeavor. this is a reality that islam has taught us. Indolence, debility, weakness and escaping from hard events and problems are never compatible with spirit of belief. They will not have any consequence save poverty in all as- pects, including economical, moral and spiritual poverty. while the believers shall be self-sufficient and contented in all aspects. 1- Beharol anvar, volume 78, page 59 and tohafol og- houl, p. 158 7 7 Chapter Rain of Knowledge on Hearts He Wise Loghman said: ?? ??????? ???? ????? ??????? ?????????? ??????? ??????????? ???? ??????? ?????? ???????? ???????? Translation My son! god revives the hearts of men with the light of know- ledge as he revives dead lands with blessing rains from sky!(1) Brief Description The land of man"s heart is like a garden in which all types of seedlings, seeds of flowers, plants and strong trees are dis- persed, and if it is irrigated on time, a pleasant and fruitful area will be created. The only irrigation means for this land is reviving drops of rain of science and knowledge. hence the hearts lacking know- ledge are dead, lightless and fruitless. We shall always and in all conditions, keep alive our souls with the light of knowledge. 1 - From beharol anvar, volume one 8 8 Chapter Source of Arrogance It is narrated from imam sadegh as: ?? ???? ????? ????????? ???? ????????? ???? ???????? ???????? ??? ???????? Translation No one boasts to the others unless for the inferiority he feels in himself!(1) Brief description Nowadays, psychological and psychoanalytic researches have proved that arrogance and boasting to others is nothing else than an inferiority complex. those who are affected to this com- plex and suffer from it, resort to this wrong way that is magni- fying themselves artificially for compensating their deficien- cies, and thereby they add to their social inferiority and make themselves more hated. This psychological point is clearly observed in the miraculous speech narrated from imam sadegh a.s. but the faithful people are always modest before others due to their internal dignity. 1- Beharol anvar, volume 73, page 225 9 9 Chapter Three Worthy Things Before God Islam"s prophet (s.a.) says: ????? ???????? ????????? ?? ?????????? ???? ??? ?????? ????? ??????: ???????? ???????? ????????????? ?? ?????? ???????? ???????????????? ?? ?????? ???????? ????????????? Translation There are three things that remove the veils and approach to god"s dignity:(1) The voice of movement of scientists" pen when writing! The voice of paces of warriors in the cause of religion in the battle field! And the voice of spinning wheel of chaste women! Brief Description What a strange and meaningful interpretation! there are three voices which penetrate into the depth of existence and their tingles go ahead up to the everlasting nature of the world and approach to god"s dignity: voice of knowledge and pen, al- though it may be low and slow, voice of holy war and self-sacri- fice, and voice of attempt, endeavor and work although it may be seemingly small. And actually, these three things, knowledge, holy war, and work constitute the foundation of an honorable human community. 1 - Rrom the book "ashahab fel hekam val adab", page 22 10
