Divine Test
<\/strong>\u2022 Allah Almighty created humans and tests them in this world.
\u2022 The earth, the sky, and all the facilities and blessings were created for humans.
\u2022 Allah Almighty has created life and death to test who does the best deeds.
\u2022 Allah Almighty is the instructor of our bodies and souls. Those who regard Allah as the trainer of their body and soul and act according to this belief are successful in this test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following the Faith
<\/strong>\u2022 Acting according to the faith benefits both your religion and worldly life.
\u2022 The better the deeds, the more pleasing they are to Allah Almighty, and the greater their value and reward; whether it’s prayer, dhikr, Hajj, or reciting the Qur’an with sincerity and quality.
\u2022 “Quality” is more important than “quantity”; ten high-quality rak’ahs of prayer may be more pleasing and preferable than a thousand rak’ahs without quality.
\u2022 Allah created humans for action to show who truly obeys His commands.
\u2022 All the names of Allah are blessed and beloved, but the attribute “Rabb” is particularly cherished by Allah. If this attribute is mentioned in prayers, Allah Almighty will accept the prayer sooner and better.
\u2022 Most Qur’anic prayers begin with “Rabb.” In our prayers, rather than using Persian terms, we should employ the phrase “Rabb.”
\u2022 The God who nourishes the body with various foods, fruits, and blessings, and nurtures the soul through prayers, fasting, and beautiful commandments, is our benefactor.
\u2022 Allah is the Creator of all worlds. He is the Creator of the Prophets and Saints and needs no one, yet all Prophets and Saints are in need of Him. He has no partner, nor has He made anyone His partner, nor does He need any assistance in His creation of the world.
\u2022 In the verse \u201cIndeed, those who say, ‘Our Lord is Allah,’\u201d faith and belief are discussed, and in \u201cThen they remained steadfast,\u201d acting upon that belief is mentioned.
\u2022 When you say “Our Lord is Allah,” you must obey all His commandments, refrain from prohibited acts, and maintain good manners.
\u2022 A Muslim should be strong and determined to act in accordance with their faith. A Muslim is one who follows Allah’s commands.
\u2022 If one commits theft, murder, or fraud, their claim to follow Allah’s commands is contradictory.
\u2022 If one’s actions do not match their claim of Islam, that claim is false and invalid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Morality and Perseverance
<\/strong>\u2022 Good manners are those taught to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and Allah praised him for his magnificent character, saying he possessed “great conduct.”
\u2022 The character of the Prophet was based on acting upon the Qur’an; \u201cgreat conduct\u201d is precisely this.
\u2022 The condition for accepting Islam and salvation from Hell is that we follow the Prophet Muhammad\u2019s (peace be upon him) character and persevere in adhering to His law.
\u2022 Becoming a memorizer of the Qur’an or a scholar is easy, but being a true Muslim is difficult. Being a Muslim means listening to and obeying Allah.
\u2022 Both Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) and the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) were Muslims, fully submitting to Allah. However, the Muslim community today faces corruption, and many essential commandments of the faith are neglected.
\u2022 We should strive to be submissive to Allah, as Prophet Abraham and his son Ishmael were willing to sacrifice for the sake of Allah, with full love and devotion.
\u2022 All the worldly things like children, wealth, status, and material blessings are insignificant compared to the treasure of faith.
\u2022 The world and its benefits are fleeting, while the hereafter is everlasting. Sacrifice worldly gains for the hereafter, but do not exchange your faith for worldly things\u2014such actions are fruitless.
\u2022 We must strive to seek Allah\u2019s pleasure with love and devotion.
\u2022 Stay awake and awaken others, Insha\u2019Allah you will succeed in this world and the next.
\u2022 Work for the faith wholeheartedly, continue striving for self-purification and reform until death, and abandon both outward and inward sins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unity and Brotherhood
<\/strong>\u2022 Praise be to Allah, there is love among all Iranians, and we feel brotherhood and sympathy for all the people of Iran.
\u2022 We share Islamic, national, and human brotherhood, and we respect all people around the world.
\u2022 The ethnic groups of the province are united, and anyone who tries to differentiate between Baloch and Sistani people is mistaken. The brotherhood between Sistanis and Baloch people has historical roots.
\u2022 We welcome any government or ruler who unites us, and we reject any attempts to divide us.
\u2022 We must all respect each other\u2019s rights.
\u2022 In life\u2019s benefits and all challenges, we share in each other\u2019s struggles.
\u2022 The Qur’an, the Prophet, and Islam have taught us humanity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
