As-Salaam Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa BarakatihuGolden Words of Wisdom by Sayyiduna Imam Jafar as-Sadiq (Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu)He would often make the following dua : "O Allah bless me with respect which is in your obedience and do not disgrace me due to my shortcomings. O Allah let me assist him through your grace and Mercy, whose sustenance you have decreased, for you have blessed me in abundance."There is not provision greater than piety. There is nothing better than silence, and there is no enemy more dangerous than ones ignorance and there is no disease worse than lies.He who has attained the closeness to Allah divorces himself from everything in the world.There is no Ibaadat without repentance, since Allah has caused repentance to be above Ibaadat.He who sits in the companionship of all types of people will not be safe.One who walks on the wrong path will always arouse suspicion.Whoever attacks a matter without knowledge cuts off his own nose.Intellect is the guide of the believer.The perfection of intellect is in three (things): Humbleness for Allah, Good certainty, and silence except for good.Ignorance is in three (things): Arrogance, the intensity of dispute, and the ignorance about Allah.Certainly, knowledge is a lock and its key is the question.When the believer becomes angry, his anger should not take him out of the truth; and when he becomes satisfied, his satisfaction should not bring him into falsehood.Some manners of the ignorant are: the answer before he hears, the opposition before he understands, and the judgment with what he does not know.One who cannot keep his tongue in control will always be disgraced.Stay away from five kinds of people: 1. A liar, as he will also betray you, 2. A witless person, as he will try to benefit you, but will always cause you harm, 3. A miser, for he will cause youintense loss in order to gain even the slightest benefit, 4. A coward who will leave you in distress during a difficult situation, 5. A man who is involved in illicit dealings, for he will sell you for one morsel and will still be hopeful of even less than that.Dishonest and untruthful people never find favor while jealous people never find content. Rude and vulgar people never find acceptance and brotherhood in leadership or amongst citizens.Whosoever holds affection towards the creator then he is horribly frightened of the creation.For the sake of the creator save yourself so that you may become a true worshipper ('Aabid) and that which fate had decreed, has occurred then accepts that as well.Do not keep the company of an open sinful person since you would be overcome by sin and disobedience. Consult and seek advise from only those who are constantly obeying Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala.To seek forgiveness is simple but to leave sin is difficult.The concealment of sins is the direct consequences of mans destruction.Not to show greed to somebody else's wealth is also a form of charity.The eye of the heart opens with ibadat (prayers) and its access is infinite (La Makan – up in the 'Arsh and beyond) and nothing in the entire World remains a secret to him.Man has also such power that he can gaze into the future and it only awakens when the 5 other senses are asleep and the mind is free from observations.Changing perceptions in this World. Somewhere clouds are forming or pearls. At others tears are changing the rays into darkness while still darkness is changing into light.A man has freedom of deeds and actions but these are also restricted because according to his comprehension he may be suspicious or doubtful of its might or force.Too much credence and ecliance is destructful and excessive criticisms unfortunate.Holding the power of revenge yet drinking up ones anger is an excellent form of Jihad.
