Spirituality - Secrets of Prayer Taught by Imam Jafar Sadiq (AS)

Pearl of Wisdom

in his counsel to his son al-Baqir (AS) said, my son, beware of taking a fool as a companion or mingling with him; keep away from him and do not converse with him for verily the fool is a lowly person whether he is absent or present. When he talks he exposes his foolishness and when he is silent he displays his inability to express himself. If he acts he spoils and when he is given responsibility he fails it. His own knowledge does not suffice him and others' knowledge is of no benefit to him, he does not follow the one who advises him, his associates do not find rest [from him], his mother wishes to be bereaved of him, his wife wishes to lose him, his neighbour wishes to live far from him and the one who sits with him would rather be absent from his company. If he is the lowest [in status] in the gathering he abases those above him and if he is the highest of them he denigrates the others.?

Spirituality - Secrets of Prayer Taught by Imam Jafar Sadiq (AS)

In the Holy Qur'an

When my servants ask you about Me, (tell them that) I am indeed most near. I answer the supplicant's call when he calls Me. So let them respond to Me, and let them have faith in Me, so that they may fare rightly (2:186)

In the Traditions

My God,

the uninterrupted flow of Thy graciousness
hast distracted me from thanking Thee!
The flood of Thy bounty has rendered me incapable
of counting Thy praises!

The succession of Thy kind acts has diverted me
from mentioning Thee in laudation!

The continuous rush of Thy benefits has thwarted me
from spreading the news of Thy gently favours!

This is the station of him who
confesses to the lavishness of favours,
meets them with shortcomings,
and witnesses to his own disregard and negligence.

Thy favours are many -
my understanding falls short of grasping them,
not to speak of exhausting them!

So how can i achieve thanksgiving?

For my thanking Thee requires thanksgiving.

Whenever i say, 'To Thee belongs praise!',
it becomes thereby incumbent upon me to say,
'To Thee belongs praise!'
