Pearl of Wisdom

when asked by Hasan b. Mahbub, 'Can a believer be miserly?', replied, 'Yes.' [He said] I asked, 'And can he be cowardly?' The Imam replied, 'Yes.' I asked, 'Can he be a liar?' The Imam said, 'No, and nor can he be a traitor.' He then said, 'A believer can be predisposed by nature for everything except treachery and Iying.'

Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as]
Ibid. v. 75, p. 172, no. 11

The Lantern of the Path

The path of Islam contains a most comprehensive and total system of conduct for the wayfarer. The outer behaviour of a true Muslim reflects what is deep in his inner consciousness.

In his teachings, Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq shows the way to equilibrium in a most inspired way of tawhid. As a man of insight and knowledge he sees the unified hand and demonstrates it to the sincere seeker. These teachings can be of benefit to anyone who has an interest in spiritual matters and is concerned with benefiting from the path of Islam.

The Imam's explanations in 'The Lantern of the Path to Almighty Allah' contain many levels of understanding. Much depends upon the state of the seeker and the extent of his sincerity. Although this section is small, its meanings are vast.

We pray to Allah to increase our knowledge and experience of His vast compassion and mercy.
