Seek perfection through devotion to your parents

Islam places an enormous amount of respect to the parents.  To the father and the mother.  In a lecture giving by Sheikh Amini, congregational imam of Imam Mahdi School in Qom, he describes the perfection that is to be reached by serving you parents, and in the case of the story in question, your mother.  The audio is in farsi,  with English transcript below: Title: Seek Perfection Through Devotion to Your Mother(Minute)(transcript) 00:35 One of the greats, 00:38 perhaps you were there for one of the trips we went on to Mashad, I don’t know, 00:42 It was in Sabzevar, if I am not mistaken, or Shahrud 00:49 We went there, there was one school, which taught for over 700 years, a scholarly school , built 00:57 over 700 years ago, and students there would study, and still do 1.03 […]

Why you should wash your hands – BEFORE and AFTER food? More than just hygiene.

Islamic Pulse recently posted that "The sunnah of the Holy Prophet (S) is to to wash the hands before and after eating."  This is easily recognised as an important issue of hygiene with regards to washing your hands before eating, and commonly taught in the west.  However, according to the Purified Household, Peace Be Upon Them, hygiene is NOT the only reason why we should follow this sunnah.  Not only is the washing of the hands recommended, but performing ablution before and after food also has benefits other than the obvious one of being "constantly in the state purity". Benefits include: prevents poverty strengthens the eyes and banishes grief. الوضوء قبل الطعام ينفي الفقر و بعده ينفي الهم ويصحح البصر "Ablution before food banishes poverty and after it banishes grief  and corrects the eyesight".  The Prophet blessings be upon him […]

Parable 49: What role does the love for the Ahlul Bayet: have in our lives?

It is innately built in to humans that we idolise champions, take lead from and are impressed upon by role models.  One of the best and most influential ways to grow and develop is through the knowledge of an appropriate role model.  The more that role model is apparent and complete, the more attractive they are. Patronage and the love of Ahlul Bayet: is the foundation of taking leads and being impressed upon by role models as is the patronage to such greats.  Therefore, if any one loves someone as their role model they would try hard to act, speak and behave like they do. Of course, the connection and love an individual may have will have value when that individual tries hard to be inspired by their role model, follow them and support them in a practical way. If […]

Parable 48: Is faith without deed of any value?

In the Qur’an, faith and pious deeds come together {آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ} those that believe, and do deeds of righteousness, like a needle and thread that need to work together, for which otherwise if the thread is not through the eye of the needle would not be able to sew anything. The Qur’an states {إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّـهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي} If you love God, follow me([1]).  Many say that we have faith but do no deeds, or that we believe in God but don’t speak to Him nor do they pray, they say The Wilayat of Ameer Al Mumineen PBUH (Imam Ali PBUH) is in our hearts, but nothing in their actions has even the slightest figment of his Eminence in them, and that We believe in the Imam of Our Time (May his return be hastened) yet do not pay […]
