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!"
โผ๏ธโผ๏ธโผ๏ธ
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"

Ethical recommendations of Ayatollah Bahjat
When you wake up in the morning, politely stand up and begin your morning by greeting Imam Mahdi
Say, "O Imam Mahdi, I beg you, help me"
When you want to sleep at night, first place your hand on your chest and say
Peace be upon you O Imam Mahdi
And then sleep
Before doing anything, request the assistance of Imam Mahdi by saying "O Imam Mahdi ..."
Spend your days and nights, by having the thought of him in your mind
because if you do this
Satan will no longer have a place in your life
You will no longer be able to sin
You will be under the protection of Imam Mahdi at all times
And Amir al-Muminin Imam Ali has said that:
"During the time of Occultation,
only those who have the spirit of certainty and have closeness with their Imam will remain steadfast in their religion."

The West mistakenly ascribes the Magna Carta as the 'first' charter of rights. It was in 1215 CE that English Landlords forced King John to put his signature on it - 600 years after Islam had established rights.
Today the politicians of the World claim to adopt the Charter of Human Rights adopted by the U.N.O. in 1948 but it is a well known fact that when the rights are not to their advantage, the very charter becomes a Charter of Human Injustice.
Imam Ali ibn Husaynsโ Treatise on Rights is a master document on Islamic human rights, which not only covers human rights, but also includes the rights of God, our body parts, and our deeds. To any intelligent reader who ponders deeply about the contents of this valuable document on rights, it immediately becomes clear that Islam has already established the first document on rights nearly fourteen centuries ago.
this charter is the only work attributed to Ali ibn Husayn (a) other than supplications or relatively short sayings and letters. Imam Ali ibn Husayn was the fourth Shia Imam, after his father Husayn ibn Ali, his uncle Hasan ibn Ali, and his grandfather Ali ibn Abi Talib. The โTreatise on Rightsโ seems to have been written at the request of a disciple, since, in one of its two versions, it is prefaced by the words: โThis is the treatise of Ali ibn al-Husayn to one of his companions.โ

3. THE RIGHTS OF THE TONGUE
It is the right of the tongue that you should consider it too respectable to utter obscene language; and you should accustom it to good (speech), and discipline it with good manners, and keep it silent except in time of necessity and for spiritual and material benefit, and keep it away from useless talk which may cause much harm with little benefit; and you should be kind to people and say good things about them.

Many people are good and blissful when they are single, but when they get married, they create a hell for themselves. The reason for that is because they don't know how to solve the normal conflicts and tests that being a husband/wife exposes them to, and they don't know how to do their duties as a spouse or parent well.

3. THE RIGHTS OF THE EARS
It is the right of your ears to keep it pure from listening to backbiting and to what which is unlawful to listen to. You should not turn it into a way to your heart, except for noble talk which may create some good in your heart, or which may earn you a noble character; because ear is a door which allows a talk to get to the heart, carrying to it different types of ideas, whether good or evil.

THE RIGHTS OF THE HANDS
It is the right of your hand that you should not stretch it to what is forbidden to you; otherwise, you will earn punishment from Allah in the hereafter and condemnation from people in this life. And you should not hold it from that (actions) which God has made obligatory on you.
And you should honour it by withholding it from unlawful things and by extending it for good deeds which are not even obligatory, because if the actions of your hands are based on wisdom and nobility, surely you will get a good reward in the hereafter.

The Prophet Muhammad (s) asked the Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali (a):
If you saw a man committing a sin, what would you do?
Imam Ali answered:
"I will hide it."
The Messenger of God asked:
"What if you saw him committing a sin for the second time?"
"I will hide it", Imam Ali (a) replied.
The Prophet asked the same question for the third time, and Imam Ali answered the same all three times.
Prophet Muhammad (s) said:
"There is no man like Ali"
Then, addressing the companions, he said:
"hide (The sins of) your brothers"
