Ask Qul - Family Issues - When does a boy become adult?

Pearl of Wisdom

Certainly jihad is the noblest of deeds after [acceptance of] Islam, and it is the pillar of religion. The reward for it is great, while at the same time, consistently maintaining one's honour and strength. It is the assault in which there are rewards and good tidings of Paradise after martyrdom.'

Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as]

Bihar al-Anwar, v. 33, p. 447, no. 659
