“I swear by the sun and its heat, [and the light it shines on the world,] And the moon when it follows the sun.” A full moon can be seen more and manifests itself. “And by the day, when it shows it, And by the night, when it envelops it, And by the heaven and Him Who made it.”
 
If music was being played here, for this part it would have had a very fast, strong beat that would have been an introduction in itself. “And by the heaven and Him Who made it. And the earth and Him Who extended it.” Look at the size of the things God is swearing to.

God has sworn by everything that is great, glorious, beautiful, effective and isn’t easily accessible in the world to human beings in these verses. Then, He swears to something else after these. Maybe He wants to say this is as beautiful as the previous ones, even more beautiful than those! “And by the soul and He Who shaped it.”
[God says,] “I swear by the human soul and the One Who shaped it so beautifully!” "Shaping" can also be said about the sky, the earth, the moon, the sun, the night and the day. But He didn’t say this about the day and night. "Shaping" means “I, God, made the human being’s soul with such beauty, balanced and in a wonderful arrangement.” “And by the soul and He Who shaped it.” How great, glorious and beautiful the soul is! How unknown a human being is! Allahu Akbar! “And by the soul and He Who shaped it. Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it.”
 
[God says,] “I, God, created this soul so beautifully, then I sent inspiration and put people in charge of protecting themselves.” “Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it.” [He says,] “I, God, inspire a person telling him what will harm him.” “Sawwaha (Shaping)” means giving beauty, harmony, and a wonderful order. “Fujur (sins)” means something that harms and splits open. “I, God, taught them about sins.

The First Step to Reaching Tranquillity

Our goal from being more tranquil is for many of our talents, which are internal and of which we are often unaware, to flourish. When a person’s life and spirit are hectic, he is unable to discover his strengths. Whether he wants to reach God or to his own goals, tranquillity is a very necessary condition.
To see if you have become closer to God or not, see how tranquil you are. If your tranquillity has decreased and you feel chaotic, know that you are now far from God! A person, who is close to God, won’t be like this.
What is the first step a person should take to achieve a tranquil life? He should think. My friends, a person who doesn’t think can’t reach tranquillity. A person who is continually fed audio and visual input, or a person who constantly talks, can’t think. A person who is constantly entangled with others can’t think. One must put time for thinking, be alone, have a program, and write down some things.
Once a young man came, who was entangled in emotions and friendships, as often happens between the ages of 15 and 19. This age varies for different people. He said, “I have become very dependent on my friend. What should I do? I’m bothering him, and he is bothering me. If he doesn’t come out one time to have juice together, I get very upset.” I said, “Its period will pass.” He said, “What should I do now?!” I said, “Its period will pass. A day will come when you will laugh at this scene.” He wasn’t listening at all, “What should I do now?!” I said, “Think about what I said.” God is a witness, if he had thought about how he will one day laugh at such a thing that had become important for him, it would have finished. This excessive friendship would have finished.
Friends, what is important for you now? Think about it a little. When will the period of it being important finish? Think about it a little. Whatever it is, it will eventually no longer be important for you. If this doesn’t happen, it will happen when you are dying. When you are dying you’ll say, “What difference did it make?! Why did I spend even one moment on it?”
Think. Only by thinking. If you don’t think, you’ll fight with me because I am saying these things! You’ll say, “Nonsense! He doesn’t solve our problems and spuriously says, ‘Think and your problems will be solved.’” Ok, don’t think. Be comfortable. What can I do? But, if you do think, you will understand that this thing which has become important for you isn’t important. Just by thinking!
A person won’t get anywhere without thinking and understanding the complexities of this world. Much of wisdom can only be understood by thinking. We know about dying. If we think about it, it will have an effect. We should have a program for thinking. Change any lifestyle habit, which doesn’t let you think.
The lifestyle, which is wrong, is the one that doesn’t let a person think. If we are able to think about the things we know, and think correctly the way that people who think do, we will reach to high levels.
God won’t leave a person who thinks without sustenance! But, what kind of thinking?! A tradition says, “Being at leisure causes thinking.” If you are not at leisure and tranquil, and you start thinking, you’ll start thinking about your concerns! I swear to God, sometimes it’s funny how we sit and think about how to solve problems. God says, “What are you thinking about now?” “My problems.” “Didn’t you do what you could do?” “Yes.” “You know what you should do tomorrow?” “Yes.” “So why are you still thinking? Leave the rest to Me (God). I am like your secretary.” God says this!
To see if you have become closer to God or not, see how tranquil you are. If your tranquillity has decreased and you feel chaotic, know that you are now far from God! A person, who is close to God, won’t be like this. Imam Sadiq (‘a) said, “A religious person thinks, and his thinking brings him calmness.”
[From the series of speeches under the topic of “How can we live more tranquilly?”]

Be a beloved of Imam (as) Am I beloved of Imam of my time? How do I become a beloved of Imam (as)? Is it even possible?

What is the philosophy behind the trials and tribulations that come to us?

In fact, a human being’s restlessness won’t be resolved by not going to Hell. His calmness won’t be complete with just Heaven either. Our soul has been created in such a way that the only answer to our soul is God Himself. That is God’s Love, Kindness, and Grace. We have been created like this.
It is not possible to change this creature, his nature and his structure. What do the Friends of God say when talking to God? They say, “Let’s suppose we can tolerate Hell. How can we tolerate You not being kind to us?” The way the Friends of God talk to God is very different from the way we talk. We say, “We are not concerned about Your Kindness. Just don’t take us to Hell, and we are fine.”
The Friends of God say exactly the opposite. In fact, they want to say, “If You want to take us to Hell, it’s fine. But, we want Your Kindness.” They talk the same way about the world’s problems too, “Blame me, blame me, until You are satisfied.” (Arafah Supplication) Blame me and hit me. But, don’t be upset at me. Don’t be displeased with me. Don’t be angry with me. I haven’t come to get something and leave. I want You Yourself to be good with me.
We don’t have these spiritual fluctuations and this excitement when talking to God. In our relationship with God, we don’t beg for His Kindness. Why? Because, basically we don’t see ourselves in need of His Kindness. We see ourselves in need of our own interests, our interests in this world and the Hereafter. We see our need for our trials to be resolved, our trials in this world and the Hereafter. This relationship itself has been forgotten!
What is interesting is that all of the world’s trials are for us to move towards discovering this relationship. God shows us, “See, no one loves you!” And, He wants to whisper in our ears, “Except Me!” But, we talk to God and say, “God, why doesn’t anyone love me. Do something so that someone will love me.” “But, I have given you solitude for you to come towards Me.”
The philosophy of the trials, and sometimes this feeling comes even without trials, is for a person to feel lonely. After he feels he is alone, he will ask for God’s companionship. When he asks for God’s companionship, he will ask for His Kindness. He shouldn’t ask God to help him find an entertainment due to his loneliness. God says, “I separate you from other entertainments for you to be entertained by Me! Why do you ask for something else from Me again?”
In many cases, a bad thing that happens for the youth is that they slowly cut their dependence on their parent’s kindness. But, during their education they don’t put their dependence on God and His Kindness instead. Where do they try to find this? In receiving kindness from the opposite gender. Many people consider their relationship with the opposite gender to be so important because of the emotional aspects. This young person is looking for the source of emotion, attention and kindness. They haven’t taught him that this is only in the Hereafter. That source, which satisfies a person, is God only. They look for it on earth, and thousands of crises arise.
Spiritually too, you can see that there are many people who believe in God, obey religion, and believe in the Hereafter. But, they still don’t feel good. He is afraid of divine punishment. But, this fear should have had a result, which hasn’t yet come about for him. If you are afraid of divine punishment, you should take refuge with God. Something should happen here. You should pay attention to God’s Kindness now that you have gone to Him. You should receive His Kindness and nourishment from it.
People don’t try to build this relationship. They say, “God, have You forgiven me? Hurry. I want to go. I have work to do.” “Where do you want to go?” “I want to live my life.” “Where is life? What do you want to enjoy? What do you want to do next?” A person should gain nourishment from God’s Kindness for him to calm down. What feeling should we search for? The feeling of enjoying God’s Kindness and thanking Him due to His Kindness. This should happen in us for that beautiful occurrence, which we expect, to take place. Our soul has been created in such a way that the only answer to our soul is God Himself. That is God’s Love, Kindness, and Grace. We have been created like this.

In verse 32 of the 53rd chapter in the Qur’an, it is said, “Justify not yourselves. He knows best who it is that guards against evil.” This means everyone should try to be pious. And I, God, will watch and judge.
Imagine someone who curses four times a day. One may say, “He’s cursing, so he’s not pious.” No, wait! You can’t judge.Imagine another person who curses once a day. “So he’s not that pious either, because he’s cursing every day. The other person curses four times a day, so he is four times less pious.” But we may see on the Day of Judgment that the one who used to curse once a day is taken to Hell because he wasn’t pious. But the other one who used to curse four times a day is taken to Heaven because of his piety. “O God, it seems this isn’t fair! We thought this should be different.”
It will be as this verse states, “It will abase some and exalt others.” [56:3] God will say, “The one who used to curse four times a day, I know that he stopped himself from cursing 40 times a day. Mentally, he was such that he stopped himself from cursing 40 times a day, but he couldn’t control those four cases. And about these four cases, he wanted to curse very badly, but he controlled himself and cursed just a little. Of course that was a fault, but We forgave him. So you can’t measure one’s piety that easily!”
“God, what about the one who cursed once. You could have forgiven him too.” God says, “No! He wasn’t the kind of person who was used to cursing. I created him Myself. He wasn’t even upset, but he cursed. And he wasn’t regretful about it. He was thinking, ‘People are cursing so much. Now I cursed once. God should be ok with that!’ So I’ll punish him severely.”
“The most honorable among you in the sight of God is the most pious of you.” [Qur’an 49:13] On the Day of Judgment, the most pious people will be obvious. But we can’t easily judge about them now. Let’s try to avoid the habit of judging people. Sometimes in a mosque or in a school, we quickly label people. We’re making some proud and some lose hope. So people’s honor will be ruined. What a great school it is that teaches its students to not keep easily judging others.

The Lowest Level of Love

Could there be any level higher than this?!


There was a spiritual, loving person who lived in the desert. Sometimes we can see for example a truck driver who is very pure and spiritual. He talks and supplicates God sincerely when he’s on the road. Someone like this came to Imam Ali (‘a). He came to the Imam straight from the desert. “What is your question?” What do you think his question was? He asked about the levels of those in love. “How many levels do they have?” The Imam replied, “The lowest level of the people in love…” After hearing him, the man fainted. They poured water on his face and brought him to his senses. After regaining consciousness, he asked, “Is there any level higher than this?” Imam! You said the highest points. Then, you say this is the first level of love? Do we have any level higher than this? The Imam replied, “Yes, seventy levels.” Now, are you interested in hearing about the lowest level of those who are in love that when the Imam described it, the man fainted? Don’t faint!
“The lowest level is that he sees his own servitude to be small.” Whatever he does, he says, “This was nothing.” He says this with sincerity. When a spoiled person who thinks highly of himself does something good, he says, “That’s how I am!” “You didn’t do anything important!” It’s very good for a person to consider himself to be small. Don’t consider your good deeds to be big. “A person who considers his servitude to be small and his sins to be great.” So, the second feature of the lowest level of love is to consider one’s own sins to be great. Such a person doesn’t forgive himself. He makes one mistake and says, “God, I can’t forgive myself.” He constantly asks for God’s forgiveness.
Another tradition says, “A believer’s sins are always in front of his eyes and trouble him.” He constantly says, “God, I’m sorry. I was wrong to do this.” He keeps repeating this and becomes dearer and dearer to God. After doing a bad deed, say, “It was really embarrassing. It was really bad!” How does this show love? For example, you are in love and take a gift for your beloved. If a small spot is on it, you’ll blame yourself very much, very much. You won’t forgive yourself. You say, “It was embarrassing. It was too bad.” Someone says, “Don’t worry about it. It’s alright.” “No, I didn’t want it to be like this.”
Why don’t we apologize for our prayers? Because we are not in love. We say, “Take it! God, I prayed. There. Take it. Hey you! Collect it and give it to God!” “You think you prayed well?” “Yah! What do you expect? You want me to torture myself?!” He thinks he deserves more. “Excuse me; it looks like we owe you something!” Shall I say the third part, after which that man fainted? Or, shall I not say it?!
“He thinks there is no one but him in both worlds who will be punished.” They only want to punish him, not others. When walking in the streets, he says, “God only wants to punish me. He doesn’t want to punish others!” If you don’t want any bad points to be left hidden in your heart, you shouldn’t be easy on yourself. Be hard on yourself. “What should I do?” You should say, “God only wants to punish me and no one else.” If you don’t want to hide your bad points, you should be hard on yourself. What is the first condition for being hard on oneself? “He considers his servitude to be small.” He says, “God only wants to punish me. He doesn’t want to punish others!”

==============================
We want to reach the goal that God has created us for. What should we do? From where should we start?
One starting point is choosing your goal well. Moving forward, having the insight to have a program to move forward and having enthusiasm to reach the destination, are very dependent on our seeing the goal. Whenever you see your heart feels cold, whenever you see you don’t have that needed speed and eagerness, whenever you see you can’t find the way and don’t know what you should do, know that your connection with your goal has become weak.
For each deed you should have the intention of getting close to God. When you say, “To get close to God,” you’re saying your goal. Mention your goal, then take action. Mention your goal, then take action. Doing good deeds and worshiping without mentioning the goal is useless. Interestingly you must keep repeating this. If you prayed but didn’t have the intention of getting close to God, you have to pray again. It was useless.
Having a goal is this important! This doesn’t mean just saying you believe and then thinking that now you’re a believer. You should keep remembering this goal and being concerned with it for each act. You should take action because of it. You want to chat with your friend or you want to rest. You want to get up at dawn. You want to go to work tomorrow. You should say it. You should repeat it in your heart. “I’m doing these for that goal.” You should repeat this.
How many actions do you do every day? Can you count the actions you do in your day? “I go to work.” Before going to work, you do one hundred other things too. One is that you get dressed. Let’s talk about getting dressed. We don’t count it as an activity. What is your intention for wearing these clothes? “I’m just wearing clothes. I can’t go without clothes! I have to wear clothes.” “Why are you wearing these clothes?” “I’ve bought them to wear them!” A tradition says that if you wear clothes to attract people’s attention, God won’t look at you as long as you’re wearing those clothes. “But this was the most normal act. This was my everyday coat!” What was your intention today for wearing this normal, everyday coat?”
This is how religion trains us. Religiosity starts from this point. “A person wears clothes to attract people’s attention. Do I have to look ugly? Should I wear a sack?!” No, but why do you want to attract people’s attention? Because of God or because of yourself? “Just forget it! You look at my intentions in too much detail!” It’s fine if you look proper to others. It’s good that you bought good clothes. Whether your clothes are normal, average or good, say, “God, I want to look good because of You.”
[One says,] “But I don’t remember to do this!” If you don’t pay attention to this, you won’t move toward your goal! You’ll also lose the opportunities you have. Then you will wonder why you don’t move forward. It’s because you’re not in a hurry and don’t feel a pressing need. Because of God! After putting on your clothes, won’t you say goodbye before you go out? Why do you want to say goodbye? “But we always say goodbye! Can I just make the intention that from now on whenever I say goodbye it’s for the sake of God?”
Why do you want to take a step toward your goal just once? You don’t want to put effort to move toward your goal again? You’ve become tired of your goal!? Is this repetition bothering you? One time forever? Maybe you want a computer to do it for you?! So you don’t want to become close to God at all. Go live your life.
A person who has a strong connection with his goal will remember it each time. Now that God has made it so simple and you can move toward God with your simple deeds, why don’t you do it? You’re announcing to others, “People, I know God. This God is boring for you to want to remember Him all the time. So don’t come toward Him. My life is boring too. Don’t make your life boring.” Is this what you want to announce? You haven’t gone toward God yourself and now you want to prevent others as well?
One should pay attention to his goal very much. And one should have a constant connection with his goal. Whenever you see your heart feels cold, whenever you see you don’t have that needed speed and eagerness, whenever you see you can’t find the way and don’t know what you should do, know that your connection with your goal has weakened. A person who has a strong connection with his goal will remember it each time.
For all your deeds, you should have the intention of getting close to God. “Getting close to God” means saying our goal. Doing good deeds and worshiping without mentioning the goal is useless. Religiosity starts from this point.

Pull yourself together!
Let’s have a program for our lives.

I ask every one of us to put Islam to the side and also worshiping, faith, etc. Now, let’s concentrate on Taqwa and vigilance for a while. Let’s not do just whatever our will wants.
What is the opposite of being vigilant? I desire this. Or, I’m tired. For example, when they give you a schedule to follow, you become tired of it after a while. Becoming corrected starts from this point. “I’m tired and not in the mood to do it today. I had a schedule every day at this time. Today, I’m not in the mood to do it.” Today when you are not in the mood to do it, it will become clear whether you are vigilant or not. Or, are you following your own desires?
If you don’t want your desires to overcome you, you shouldn’t behave according to them. So, what should we behave according to? According to a program. When you want to act according to a program, if it is a little complicated and demanding, you’ll need vigilance. For example, the people who drive in the streets are careful not to have an accident. God doesn’t allow anyone to live without vigilance. One of the things that vigilance does is that it brings order. This point has been mentioned in the beginning of the Commander of the Faithful, Ali bin Abi Talib’s (‘a), will. The wills of regular people are their most important words. The Imam wasn’t a regular person. All his words were the most important words in the world of creation. “I advise you to adhere to Taqwa (vigilance) and discipline in your affairs.” (Nahj al-Balaghah, letter no. 47)
Discipline is the result of Taqwa. Ayatollah Shari’at Madari’s grandchild shared a room with Imam Khomeini in the Islamic seminary. This old man said, “The Imam was always ready to work whenever we saw him. When he used to wake up at dawn, make the minor ablution and start worshiping, in this shared room - before getting married - it was as if he was going to a gathering. Well groomed! We never saw him being sloppy.”
I don’t want to set rituals for you! The important point is that a person shouldn’t be sloppy. He should be vigilant and careful. Be careful of yourself and collect yourself. If you don’t pull yourself together and you let yourself go, no matter how much goodness you have, “Allah only accepts from those who guard (against evil).” [Qur’an 5:27]
A person has let himself go. Now he misses the Imam of the Time (‘a.j.) and suddenly wants to have a gathering for the “Nudbah Supplication.” You should collect yourself first. He has let go of himself, now he sometimes has a whim to do good deeds. Who are you trying to deceive? Be vigilant. See how much you can handle. Start gradually. I want to act according to a program and be vigilant. If you aren’t vigilant, what are you behaving in accordance with? Your will. Don’t act according to your own will. Taqwa means vigilance. Let’s have Taqwa and vigilance for a while. Let’s not do just whatever our will wants. God doesn’t allow anyone to live without vigilance. Let’s act according to a program.

Look from above

“Your best youth are those who are similar to your elders,” the Prophet (s)


“Your best youth are those who are similar to your elders.” [The Prophet (s), Makarim al-Akhlaq, p. 118] What is this similarity? People who are older are able to look from above. Do you know an example of looking from above? Apples drop from trees in front of many people. One person looked from above. He asked, “Why is it that everything that is released in the air drops down?” He looked from above. A revolution in Physics!
What happens if you don’t look from above? You may say, “Yeah! An apple dropped. All apples drop.” For example, one has just gotten married. The elder people in the family see that this young couple look for some privacy to speak softly together! They don’t even say anything special! They’re saying nonsensical things. “Did you see that?” “Yes I did.” “Did you see me too?” “Yes I did!” You could say these things out loud, “Did you see that place?” “Yes, I did!” When an older person looks from above he says, “Of course, they’ve just gotten married. Enjoy!” Imagine what happens if a young person looks from above. “The world will become dull to him/her.” “No, these trivial tastes will become tasteless for him/her. Such a person goes after pure tastes.”
Once a young man came to me and said, “I like my friend very much.” He was approximately the age of a high school student. “My friend has left our school.” Or, “He has changed his job. I really can’t tolerate this!” This often happens among the youth. He asked, “What’s the solution?” I said, “This feeling will pass!” He asked again, “What should I do?” I said, “Look! This feeling will pass. Do you understand? This feeling will pass. It’s temporary.” He said, “Sir, what should I do now?!” I said, “You’re not listening! This feeling will pass! This means you should look from above! You’ll laugh at this later. For now, try to see things from above.”
Once a young man came to me saying, “Sir, it’s my wedding.” I said, “Oh! It’s your wedding, so you must be happy!” He said, “No, we were engaged for a while. Now it’s our wedding. My family is rejoicing very much. But, I feel everything is normal! It’s nothing special. Do I have a problem?! They blame me, ‘Why aren’t you excited.’” I looked around to see if anyone was near by. I saw there wasn’t anyone. So, I told him, “See, you’re all right that you feel normal! Those who are over excited aren’t feeling well. Be comfortable! This is not an extraordinary event!” Some say, “Wow, it’s my wedding! Wow!” It’s just his/her wedding!
Look from above! If you look from above, you won’t be captivated by any likings. If you look from above, many excitements will be eliminated. Look from above!

==============================
On the Day of Judgment, we will meet Aba Abdillah al-Husayn (as). God willing, they will take us to be in his presence. A question will arise within us due to his innocent, mystical, loving look. He won’t ask it directly. That question is, “What have you done for Husayn (as)?” Husayn (as) gave whatever he had. What have you done for Imam Husayn (as)?
Have you seen how people like to give whatever they have for Imam Husayn (as)? No one is ever satisfied he’s done enough, no matter what he has done [for the Imam]. Husayn (as) went through a lot for us. Are we able to compensate? He travelled through the plains and deserts with his family. Shouldn't we hold a mourning ceremony with our family? Shouldn’t we spend a few minutes for him?
I want to say something that may not seem polite. I wish we would suffer when we held a mourning ceremony. Then we would say, “O Aba Abdillah al-Husayn (as), we suffered because of you. But Husayn (as), whenever we hold a meeting for you, we enjoy it. This is our entertainment. Then we owe you more. What can we do for you? You hugged your child and went into the battlefield. Then you had to throw his blood up into the sky a few minutes later. Your tolerance was finishing, so you said, “This tragedy is easy for me, because God is watching.”
We hug our children and stand at the door of mourning ceremonies. Whoever comes shows affection to our child. Our children say, “What a pleasant meeting it was. Everyone was kind.” But you and your family went to Karbala. And the story unfolded in a way that your daughter begged you, “Don’t leave us alone.” The events were such that Sukayna said, “Return us to the shrine of our ancestor.” Whenever we participate in a mourning ceremony, afterwards we stand in front of the door in order to take our family back home. If we hold a mourning ceremony at home, we are honored even more. [O Husayn,] how are we able to compensate for your efforts? [Holding ceremonies] increases our dignity and spiritual enjoyment. O Aba Abdillah, how can we answer your kindness? What can we do for you, O Husayn (as)?
See how some people mourn in the mourning ceremonies. It’s as if they want to compensate somehow. But it’s impossible. Imam Husayn (as) will make up for you right away. Any step you want to take for Imam Husayn (as), he lets you taste its sweetness right away. He doesn’t leave it for the Hereafter. No one is thinking of the Day of Judgment in a mourning ceremony. Imam Husayn (as) makes up for whatever you do right away.
I wish we would suffer when we held a mourning ceremony. Then we would say, “O Aba Abdillah al-Husayn (as), we suffered because of you. See how some people mourn in the mourning ceremonies. It’s as if they want to compensate somehow. But it’s impossible. Imam Husayn (as) will make up for you right away. Any step you want to take for Imam Husayn (as), he lets you taste its sweetness right away. He doesn’t leave it for the Hereafter. Imam Husayn (as) makes up for whatever you do right away.
