Right of the Father by Imam Ali (Sajjad) son of Hussain (as)

http://rezajohnvedadi.wordpress.com/ The Right of the Father "Know that the right of your father, is that he is your root and you are his branch and were it not for him you would never be, so whenever you see anything in yourself that may impress you, know that it was because of your father's blessing that you achieved it" Imam Ali (Sajjad) ibn Hussain (as) حق الأب وَأمَّا حَقُّ أَبيكَ فَتَعْلَمَ أنَّهُ أَصْلُكَ، وَأنَّكَ فَرْعُهُ، وَأَنَّكَ لَوْلاهُ لَمْ تَكُنْ. فَمَهْمَا رَأيْتَ فِي نفْسِكَ مِمَّا يُعْجِبُكَ فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ أَبَاكَ أَصْلُ النِّعْمَةِ عَلَيْكَ فِيهِ وَاحْمَدِ اللَّهَ وَاشْكُرْهُ عَلَى قَدْرِ ذَلِكَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إلاّ باللهِ
