They blended the truthful message with the falsehood of their desires, they have permitted what is forbidden by God and have allowed
what is unlawful by God as Permissible in order to keep us trapped in the outer
message following the garments and external ornaments for its brilliance and
likeness, but it actually doesn't provide us any shelter nor cover our sorrows for we
don't even feel protected or pleased by them. In fact, they themselves could not even
get to feeling satisfied, therefore they must be constantly proving themselves again
and again with diversities of taste, quality and choices, to prove themselves that what
they are doing is worth enough to keep living that lifestyle, but they are not really
living rather their own desires are living them making them act according to the
appearance because they can only live by it for being transgressors and unbelievers;
clinging to the vices and material attachments ruling that side of the world and by
their doctrines they try to transform us into carbon copies of themselves, for it doesn't
fit in their interests that people to promote the spirituality and the adaptation of ethic
and natural ways of life because they would not be "the rulers or the saviors" rather it
would be the same creation of God who provides everything that we really need.
The false ego attachments and material dependencies are forged in us later in the
course of time and the track of their doctrines, we were made of light and the purity and likeness of God, we are not our personalities
nor our body which choose to move from one side to another just to attend our desires.
Like Jesus a.s said, "Not only bread alone shall man live, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God"
This Precious Day by Khadijah HashemÂ
Today is a very special and important day. For today, Allah (SWT) has blessed us with a new day.
Imam Ja'afar al-Sadiq (AS) said; 'Every day that dawns on a person says to him: "O son of Adam! I am a new day, and I am a witness
over you, so make sure you do good today, make sure you do good today, for then I will bear witness in your favor on the Day of
Judgment, and you will never see me again after today.'
Indeed we have been blessed with a new day filled with fresh opportunities, and verily this day did not rise upon us yesterday, nor will
it rise upon us again tomorrow bringing forth with it the opportunities that it has brought today. So we must take advantage of this
precious day, for soon it will be nothing more than yesterday.
And as Imam Ali (AS) said; 'Yesterday has gone with all its events and will never return again.'
So let us benefit from today and let us seize the opportunities to perform good acts, and abandon the acts which will cause our souls to
separate from us.
Imam Musa al-Kazim (AS) said; 'Verily, Allah, Blessed and Most High, assists the believer with His Spirit, which comes to
him whenever he is good and careful of his duty to Allah, and which disappears from him whenever he sins or transgresses.' This spirit
is also mentioned in the Holy Quran; 'He has strengthened them with an inspiration {spirit} from
Himself' (58:22); Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (AS H
