According to Islamic anthropology, man has a self that seeks the infinite; yet, since this world is material and limited, it's not possible for him to find what he is looking for here; unless, he finds the one true example of the infinite _which is God_ in this world. in that case, he will always be happy and serene.

The ongoing struggle between carnal self and fitrah/God-given nature, is an amazing one which always adds happiness and refreshment to life;

@Islamandlife

The hardships that a child endures because of his parents, act as an atonement for his sins. therefore, a child should never think "I wish such and such people were my parents'. He should always be respectful and appreciative toward his parents and consider the good thing that they've done for him.

I am he for whom everything in this world is created. therefore my value exceeds anything that exists here, otherwise, they wouldn't have been created for me.

@Islamandlife

Place importance on worldly blessings and ranks, but do not have any attachment to Them. Instead, create in your heart an attachment to and reverence for God and your heavenly family. Because these are the only things that can bring you true and lasting happiness.

During a Ramadan, a couple of youth saw an old man eating something away from the eyes of the crowd.

They told him, "Hey old man, aren't you fasting?"
"Yes I am, I just eat and drink" - the old man replied
The youth laughed and said; "O really?!"

The old man answered:

"Yes, I don't lie, don't gaze at people, don't ridicule people, don't curse people, don't harass people, don't feel envy toward people, ...
but, since I have a disease that requires me to eat, my stomach alone is not fasting."

Then, addressing those youth, he asked
"So, are you guys fasting too?!"

Embarrassed, one of the youth looked at the ground and said:
"No, we just don't eat and drink!"

True fasting is when in addition to not eating and drinking, the person keeps himself from sinning during the time, and that is the main ingredient of having a true and accepted fasting

Palestine will definitely be liberated and returned to its people: Imam Khamenei

The issue of Gaza is not the issue of a small piece of land. The issue of Palestine is not only a geographical issue. It is the issue of humanity and human principles. Today, the issue of Palestine is a dividing line between commitment and hostility to human principles. This issue has such significance.

Are we really fasting?!

The prophet of islam, Muhammad(s), saw a woman who was cursing her handmaiden.

He brought some food and told her to eat the food.

The woman said: "I am fasting!"

The prophet said: " How can you be fasting, while you have cursed your handmaiden?! Indeed how few are the true fasters, and how many are those whose portion is nothing but mere hunger"

Fasting is more that just abstaining from eatting and drinking for a set amount of time.

God has put a limit on everything which would be dangerous for the person if he tries to cross it (for example, sugar and oil intake, doing exercise ... ). the only exception to this is His remembrance and love, which the more the person indulges in, the better.

Every good deed is a charity

The Prophet Muhammad (s) said: It is mandatory for every Muslim to give charity every day.

He was asked: "What if the person has no money to give away for charity?"

The Prophet answered:

✅ Removing harmful obstacles from the roads is a charity.

✅ Showing someone the way is charity.

✅ Visiting the patients is a charity.

✅ Bidding what is right is a charity.

✅ Forbidding what is wrong is a charity.

✅ Answering someone's greeting is a charity.

Ayatollah Bahjat was asked:
What should we do to get rid of our (physical and spiritual) illnesses?
He said:
"God Almighty has created a capsule in which all the cures exist
and that is sending Salawat upon the Prophet and his household"

Backbiting destroys one's good deeds

The Prophet Muhammad (s) said:
"On the Day of Resurrection a person is brought in front of the Lord for questioning, and he is given his record of deeds; He looks at it and cannot find his good deeds written in it.
He says: "O God! This is not my record! Because I cannot see my good deeds here!"
He is said: "Your Lord neither does wrong nor forgets; Your good deeds have been ruined as the result of your backbiting other people."

Then someone else is brought before God and he is given his records of deeds as well.
He looks at it and sees a lot of good deeds written in it!
He says: "O Lord! This is not my paper, because I have not done any of these!"
He is answered: "Such and such a person has backbitten you, so his good deeds are given to you in return!"

‼️‼️‼️

Ayatullah Mojtahedi:
Someone who wants to abandon the habit of backbiting should first remove its cause in himself, which is envy. Secondly, he should read the verses and hadiths which talk against backbiting in order to see how terrible of a sin that is."
It is said in hadiths that: "Giving one Dirham to others for usury is 36 times worse than committing adultery", while backbiting is even worse than that.

It is because usury disrupts the economy of the society, while backbiting targets people's reputation and honour; And in the words of God, "Sanctity of believers is greater than that of Ka'aba"
"المومن اعظم حرمه من الکعبه"
