    The messenger of Allah, Mohammad (P.B.U.H&H.P) said: if anyone eats an unlawful bit, his/her prayer won’t be accepted, his/ her prayer won’t be answered, and each part of his/her body which grow by that Unlawful bit, deserve the fire (Hell).

    The messenger of Allah, Mohammad (P.B.U.H&H.P) said: glutting destroy your intelligence

    (Mostatraf, volume 1, page 180)

    Imam Ali (A.S) said to one of his companions: Komeil! Don’t full your Stomach of food, leave space in it for water and air. Stop eating while you still have appetite for eating, if you perform these advices, food will be tasty to you. Truly, health comes by eating and drinking less.

    The fact is that Rasool Allah saww. so much considerate to the females brought up at his place that some people used to get confused those females as his daughters.

    Sermon – 82 of Nahj al Balagha

    (When Imam ALI A.S. decided to set out from Kufa to face the rebellion of Kharijites at Nahrawan, Afif one of his companions told him not to undertake the journey just then because according to astrology it was an inauspicious moment, and his journey would not end in victory. Imam ALI A.S. replied to him in the following words:)

    Do you think that you are competent enough to tell of a time when a journey, if attempted, would end in a failure of the mission, and you are qualified enough to frighten anybody to believe that if an expedition is undertaken at a particular moment it would result in loss and disaster! Whoever testifies or accepts your assertions falsifies the teachings of the Qur’an, and is indifferent towards the Mercy and Kindness of Allah SWT. in allowing to secure objects that he wishes to have and in averting misfortunes and calamities. Besides this your declaration makes the point clear that those who believe in your assertions should praise you instead of Allah SWT. , because you can always direct them to act at such opportune moments when they will always gain and never lose or suffer. ( Saying this to Afif, the Imam A.S. turned towards those who had gathered there and said ) :

    O People ! Abstain from learning and believing in astrology. Accept only those facts ( of astronomy ) which will guide you on land and sea, because astrology will lead you towards magic, witchcraft and charlatanry. An astrologer is like a magician ( who practices in black magic ) and such a magician is an infidel, and all infidels shall go to Hell. You should commence your journey in the name of Allah SWT.

    A society is created by people. It needs people of different professions. Although Imam have authority over everything and Imam doesn’t need us but it is the Ummat who needs Imam ajtf. And because Imam will lead the society so it is our duty to make ourselves excellent in whatever skill we have.

    Be it a plumber or a doctor, everyone of us should try to achieve satisfaction with our service and improve in it.

    It’s not so that Imam will ask only those who have higher education, but also people of different classes and degrees will be serving Imam according to their faith.

    Motive should be to attain Taqwa and to achieve excellence in whatsoever we do professionally.

    Try to stay calm. Try to forgive. Imam Jafar al-Sadiq (p) said, “Whoever is angry with someone, let him sit down immediately if he is standing. Indeed, doing so will repel from him the uncleanliness of Satan. And whoever gets angry with his family member let him approach and (gently) touch [them]; fRead more

    Try to forgive.

    Imam Jafar al-Sadiq (p) said, “Whoever is angry with someone, let him sit down immediately if he is standing. Indeed, doing so will repel from him the uncleanliness of Satan. And whoever gets angry with his family member let him approach and (gently) touch [them]; for the feeling of family affiliation, when stimulated by touch, induces calmness.”

    Recite very often the following verse:

    وَٱلْكَـٰظِمِينَ ٱلْغَيْظَ وَٱلْعَافِينَ عَنِ ٱلنَّاسِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

    Stating single opinion here.

    Imam Ali says, “Anyone who remembers death frequently saves himself from the hypocrisies of the world”.

    Death may come knocking at any time. This world is a place of doing good actions that result in permanent joy and take one into a higher sphere of existence. A person should therefore reflect on his destiny and his helplessness at the hands of time and age that are passing. He should feel regret before God for the loss of precious years of life and for past deeds that will bring him shame on the day of judgement. He should then begin his struggle to rise above this state of wretchedness and ask God for help to bless him with hope, sincerity, and strength to fight against satanic tendencies and evil traits of character, and to rise beyond material pleasures and worldly gains.
