Sayings of Imam Hussein bin Ali ibn Abi Talib (ra) ...



  • Endure difficulties when you walk on a divine path , and resist the temptation of worldly pleasures

  • Nothing is more disgraceful for old people than being slaves to their worldly desires

  • One who pursues a goal through sinful ways , will ironically distance himself from that goal , and will approach what he was afraid of

  • If the world is counted valuable; surely the house of God's rewards is higher and more worthy. If bodies were created for death; surely being killed with swords in the way of God is a more honorable death. If the share of daily sustenance, of each creature is provided by the Creator, surely it is not decent for man to be greedy for gaining and eating too much. If wealth is amassed for one day to be left, then why does a free man become such a miser on something he has to leave?

  • If you don't believe in any religion and don't fear the Resurrection Day, at least be free in this world

  • Those who worship God for the hope of gaining , they're not real worshippers ,they're merchants. Those who worship God out of fear ( of punishment ) , they're slaves. And those who worship God to be grateful towards their Creator , they are the free people , and their worship is a real one.

  • One who reveals your faults to you like a mirror is your true friend, and one who flatters you and covers up your faults is your enemy

  • Associating with corrupt people makes you subject to suspicion.

  • Avoid doing what makes you obliged to apologize for it. True believers never do anything for which they have to apologize. Fake believers , on the contrary , keep doing wrong and say they are sorry in the aftermath

  • The most merciful person is the one who forgives when he is able to revenge.

  • Your best relation is the one who comes to you and helps you when you have severed relations with him

  • Do not expect to be rewarded more than you deserve

  • People's secrets are properties held in trust with you

  • Good manner is (counted as) a worship

  • O son of Adam ! Your life comprises of passing days , with each day passing , a part of you goes away for good
