How are you?
When people asked the Holy Prophet (s), “How are you?” he would say, “Thanks to God in all situations.”
The mood, which God has mentioned the most about human beings in the Qur’an, is being ungrateful. God’s biggest complaint about human beings is about them being ungrateful. The beginning of a person’s misery starts when he feels bad. God is severely sensitive about people’s moods.
Why are you feeling bad? If a person is not feeling good, it is as if he is saying he is an unbeliever. There is a God but he is trying to say that there isn’t any God. If you don’t want to say that, so why are you feeling bad? When a person sins, it’s because of his bad mood. He sins to feel better. Why did you feel bad in the first place?
God determines, changes, and ordains people’s destinies according to their moods very much. When a person feels good, God will prepare a good situation for him. When he feels bad, God will ruin his situation. Whoever senses that he is feeling bad and is not full of energy and vitality should say, “I have become ungrateful.”
The interesting point is that when Satan causes someone to sin, he ruins his mood afterwards. He doesn’t improve anyone’s mood with sinning. Satan incites him to sin, and then he says, “Ah! You won’t become a good person! What were you thinking? You thought God would forgive you that easily?! You ruined everything!” Then, the person feels bad.
However, God says, “Repent right now. If you repent right now, I’ll forgive you. But, don’t feel bad!” Satan wants us to feel bad, not to make our deeds bad. Satan even says, “Do good deeds. That’s not important. But, feel bad.”
The Prophet Ibrahim (‘a), who was called the “Friend of God,” was put on a catapult aimed towards a fire. The trustworthy Gabriel came and asked, “How are you? Do you want me to help you?” I’m saying it in my own words! He asked, “Do you want me to help you?” Ibrahim said, “I’m good. I don’t need your help.” Believe me, if he had felt bad, he would have been burned by that fire. Why didn’t all that fire burn him? Because he felt good. If he had felt bad, he would have been burned.
People asked a mystic, “What did you do that wisdom came to your tongue? What did you do?” The mystic replied, “I went to Mecca. I loved my oldest son very much. When I returned, I was told that my son had passed away. I was starting to feel bad. Suddenly, I controlled myself. I said, ‘God, since you wanted this, I’m satisfied with it.’ I didn’t feel bad. From the next day, wisdom flowed from my heart to my tongue.” This was the reward for him not feeling bad.
When people asked the Prophet (s), “How are you?” he would say, “Thanks to God in all situations.” We are thankful to God in any situation. I pray that God will make us thankful in all situations, and make us feel good.

Fears, which enslave people
The tool, which many managers use to control human societies throughout history, is “fear.” From mental fears to real fears such as poverty, death, being harmed, getting arrested, etc. We should destroy this culture of living based on fear in society. In our contemporary world, one of the ugliest kinds of fears has become a tool for dictating over others. This is the fear of being humiliated, ridiculed and such kinds of fears.
This is worse than the fears, which dictators cause. Dictators attack people’s lives with a sword, nothing more than this. However, the fear they use today to make people slaves has changed. Their main tool for managing the world is controlling public opinion. In controlling public opinion, one of the main methods used is scaring people. The controllers of public opinion in the world have another cultural element too, which is their tool for dictating over people. That cultural element is not fear for life, property, war or poverty. Rather, it is the fear of being humiliated and ridiculed. This is a cultural element.
Now, let’s put several words next to each other. Which tool is used the most for dictating over people at the End of Time? It’s controlling public opinion. It’s not force. What is it? It’s deception. What does the verse in the Qur’an say about the people at the End of Time? What is one of the outstanding features of the people at the End of Time in the Qur’an’s opinion? They don’t fear being blamed. God, among all of people’s characteristics, why do You talk about this one? “You don’t understand. But, the people at the End of Time understand this.” The people at the End of Time shouldn’t be afraid of being blamed. Whoever fears being blamed, has become enslaved by the domineering system. Clear?
What has the domineering system spent the most on during the past 100 years? A phenomenon called “becoming westernized.” What is being westernized? If you are not like this or that, you’re of a low class. You’ll be humiliated. They say, “Western people…!” or “He has gone abroad!” They humiliate.
A tradition says, “Do you like to be one of the special friends of the Household of the Prophet? If the people of a person’s city tell him, ‘You are a bad person,’ and his heart shakes, he is not one of our friends.” Why did you feel humiliated? You’re not one of the friends of the Household of the Prophet (‘a) anymore. What should we do to not be afraid of others humiliating or blaming us?
What should we do? We shouldn’t feel encouraged when anyone praises us. If we don’t care about other people’s praise, we will naturally not care about other people humiliating us. If others or I praise you and you become happy, you will be the one to lose your temper when people mock you. This becomes the tool for enslaving you.
Now, see the religious training. In religion, it is forbidden to praise someone in front of him/her. A tradition says, “If you praise someone, it is as if you have stabbed a dagger into his stomach and killed him.” Don’t do this. Say, “I love you,” but don’t praise him. Why? If you praise him and he’s encouraged, when you don’t encourage him, he’ll be humiliated! Then, he’ll become a slave. What is one of the fears a person shouldn’t have? The fear of being humiliated. People, rise up against the fear of being humiliated in cyberspace!

The World Will Change for You
It is rare to find a tradition like the one that I will read for you now. Hazrat Zahra (s) said, “Whoever sends his pure worship acts towards God, God will determine the best expedient for him.”
She (Hazrat Fatimah (s)) is a mother. A mother is compassionate. She has said the most important thing for each of our entire lives. Go and search. If you can find stronger words than these for building lives, bring them. Find them from the words of the Household of the Prophet (a) themselves. When people say mother, this is what they mean.
What did she say God would do for the person who sends pure worship towards Him? He will determine the best expedient for him.
A person has an accident; and, he says this is what was expedient for me. He marries and says this is what was expedient for me. He becomes rich and says this is what was expedient for me. Now my question is that were these the best of what could have happened for him? This is a very important question. (People say,) “This was destined for us. We did our best, but this was the result.” No matter if the result was good or bad, (the question is that) did the best of what could have happened for you come about?
I swear to God that we don’t know the friends of God. God is a witness that the world is at the disposal of His friends. I swear to God that there are many things that we can’t say about the lives of Imam Khomeini (r.h) and the leader (Ayatollah Khamenei).
It has been said “Don’t compare the pure people’s deeds with your own deeds, although the deeds may look similar.” Their lives are calculated based on something else. Did you see what Hazrat Khizr did? Hazrat Musa wasn’t able to be patient. Hazrat Khizr said, “I am working based upon what is the best, very complicated expedient. I receive some insight, and I have to act upon it. You won’t be able to be patient.”
“Was what came about in your interest?” “Yes.” “Was this marriage in your interest?” “Yes.” “Was it the best thing in your interest?” “I don’t know!” “What had you done for the best thing in your interest to be determined for you?”
The condition for the best thing in someone’s interest is pure worship. Change yourself, and the world will change for you. Since the Household of the Prophet (a) paid attention to themselves, they were able to change the world. Hazrat Fatimah Zahra (s) paid attention to herself. Every moment she was in pursuit of changing and perfecting herself.
Change yourself, and the world will change for you.

Gentlemen, do you know that God is idle?! Isn't it a pity? He is powerful, and He loves us. But He is idly waiting! He has everything. He says, “Ask Me, and I'll help you. Don't get help, fine! But you won’t be able to go on.”
When is God idle? When He doesn't help His servant. Aservant says, "I don't want Your help.” So he goes into the gears moving the universe!
Boom! Bang! He’s like someone who has fallen into a meat grinder. And the One Who created the meat grinder is sitting idly. He says, "You’re going into the meat grinder yourself. You’ll be crushed. Ground meat! What else should I do?”
God is idle. He doesn't have anything to do! Isn't this a pity that we leave God waiting idly?! What facilities He has! He has everything. He says, “Ask Me, and I'll help you. Don't get help, fine! But you won’t be able to go on.” Say, "Help me to become free.” God immediately becomes active and says, “Ok, come. I have created you to help you!” You know the biggest divine punishment that is mentioned in the Qur’an is, for example, "I don’t help the unbelievers.”
"The unbelievers shall have no guardian.” [Qur’an 47:11] God says, “The believers have a guardian. I help them. Shall I help you or not?” They answer, “No, do Your Own work.” He tells God, “Do Your Own work!” Ask God for help. You don’t have to try to become free by yourself. Tell Him to free you from the shackles of the world.
God will start to free you. He will cut these bonds. He will free you from desires first. You just need to help yourself a little too! The philosophy of being a servant is to become free.
The exact meaning + An explanation in answer to mistaken impressions
This clip is about the tradition, which can be found in these books: Irshad al-Qolub ila al-Sawab, Dailami, vol. 1. P. 121; and, Mishkat al-Anwar fi Ghorar al-Akhbar, p. 320.
We have heard about the life of this world and the hereafter. That said, have you ever heard of two lives in this world in the light of Quranic teachings? Watch what Agha Panahian has to say...

The Palestinian people should prepare themselves for managing Palestine. This preparation is being created in them. This preparation, according to what Imam Khomeini said, has somehow been created in people. He said, “When you see that all hearts have realized one truth, know that God's help will follow.”
Consider the spontaneous demonstrations that are taking place in all countries, and also in Tehran a few nights ago when people were in the streets until morning. These demonstrations are different from all previous demonstrations. Your fervor today is different from all revolutionary feelings. When you look in people’s eyes, you see that they can’t wait anymore.
A woman went to Imam Sadiq (as) because she had lost her small child. She was upset the first and the second time when she went to the Imam. Imam Sadiq (as) calmed her down, invited her to be patient, and gave her hope. The third time she went to him she was extremely agitated. Imam Sadiq (as) said, “Your child will be found today. You will find your lost child.” When she left the Imam’s presence, she saw her child. The people around Imam Sadiq (as) asked him, “Did you use your knowledge of the unseen to tell her that her child will be found today?” Imam Sadiq (as) said, “No, I understood this from the eyes of this mother who was agitated. She couldn’t be patient and tolerate this anymore.”
O Imam of the Time, these people cannot bear to see the children of Gaza being massacred anymore. O Imam of the Time, none of the Muslims can. No decent human being in the world can bare this anymore. Accept our restlessness from us and allow us to see you, O Ibn al-Hasan!
The preparations for your Reappearance must be made with the strength of the Muslims. O Ibn al-Hasan, see the strong arms of the resistant Palestinian youth and come! O Ibn al-Hasan, come and bring Jesus, the son of Mary, with you. Free the world of Christianity and the world of Islam from this ominous darkness that’s been created by the shadow that international Zionism has cast over governments and nations. Save us with your light.
