Hazrat Imam Ali Raza a.s Said:
1. We, the family of Muhammad, are the point of equilibrium that cannot be tilted, and the one who falls behind us cannot surpass, nor can the one who tries to outstrip us go ahead.
- 2. The one who takes account of his own self remains safe, and the one who is heedless of it remains at loss. The one who fears God remains fearless, the one who learns a lesson gains insight, and the one who gains insight becomes discerning, and the discerning one becomes knowledgeable.
- 3. Trust in the love for the family of Muhammad, but do not neglect striving for righteous deeds and efforts in worship.
- 4. Visit one another to increase love.
- 5. The one who repents from sins is as if they have committed no sin.
- 6. For a person, the best intellect is the recognition of their own self.
- 7. Refinement and purity are among the characteristics of the prophets.
- 8. Maintain ties of kinship, even if it is by offering a glass of water, and the best form of maintaining ties of kinship is to keep away from hostility.
- 9. Imam Raza (peace be upon him) narrates from his ancestors that Imam Sajjad (peace be upon him) said, “Allah’s saying, ‘The nature of Allah, in which He has created man,’ can be clarified as follows: The human nature itself is the declaration of the proclamation of monotheism, the proclamation of prophet hood, and the proclamation of guardianship. These three are associated with monotheism.”
- 10. The belief in His recognition is established through one’s own intellect and reasoning, and His existence is proven through human nature.
- 11. The testimony of faith, ‘There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, Ali is the Wali of Allah,’ and his true representative, and his successors are the successors of Allah, and righteous deeds elevate him, then he is his guide, and his deeds reflect his heart’s belief that this statement is correct just as I uttered it.
- 12. There is no god but Allah; it is my stronghold fortress. Whoever enters this fortress will be safe and secure from my punishment.
