PATIENCE AND THANKSGIVING (SHUKRANAS)
Amir-ul Mominin Mowla Murtaza Ali (A.S.) says in His Holy
Qalam Mubarak: O Momins, convey Happy Tidings to yourself if you
have had patience in your life.
O Momins, anyone who keeps patience in life verily, he is
graced by the Almighty ALLAH. The one who has patience he will
achieve success in his life.
O Momins, keep patience in your life. Even if someone harms
you, do not take revenge but keep patience. By the real virtue
of patience you will eventually succeed over the person who has
done harm to you.
O Momins, whenever you are in an unfavourable circumstances
or you are involved in any difficulty at that particular time
keep absolute patience. By the good virtue of patience you will
be able to overcome your difficulties very soon.
O Momins,the Almighty ALLAH helps His friends. Those who
keep patience are the friends and the lovers of Almighty ALLAH
and ALLAH loves most those who have patience in their hearts.
The Almighty ALLAH helps them at the time of their difficulty
Because of the patience in their hearts. Be associated with the
TRUE Momins and learn from them to offer sincere thanks
(SHUKRANAS) to the Almighty ALLAH. TRUE Momins keep patience at
all times and during all circumtances in life.
O Momins, whether there is favourable or whether there is a
difficult time of life, both are the NIYAMATS -A GRACE OF ALLAH
TO YOU.
O Momins, do not talk to anybody about the hard times of your
life. This is a sign of a MOMIN. Momins are able to act in this
manner by their good virtue of PATIENCE.
O Momins, those who will keep patience in life, they will be
highly rewarded by the Almighty ALLAH. O Momins,it is likely
that series of difficulties may surround you in your life but
even at such critical times keep patience and be assured that
favourable time will soon follow after the hardships. After the
hard times follows the good times which gives great comforts.
O Momins, anyone who has suffered and experienced hard
times in this world, they will be entitled to achieve Paradise
in AKUBAT.
O Momins, if anyone wishes to have a remedy of the
frustrated and disturbed heart, he should be regularly saying
his Prayers. During the prayers one should pray to Almighty
ALLAH: O My Beloved Lord, I am offering to THEE my most humble
and sincere thanks (SHUKRANAS) for all that THOU ART doing for
me. I say SHUKRANAS for THY DIVINE GRACE and BLESSINGS.
O Momins, say SHUKRANAS -thanks regularly to The Almighty
ALLAH in all circumstances-whether it is favourable or
Unfavourable time of Life. Continue to offer sincere thanks
(SHUKRANAS) to ALLAH.
O Momins, immense wealth and assets, sons and daughters in
one's life, the more closer, the more it is experienced as
burden on the heart and it is the wish and the absolute will of
ALLAH to whom to give life and when to take away the life of a
man in this world.
O Momins, those who are suffering in this world they are not
necessarily bad people. Such people may be of high dignity
before the Almighty ALLAH.
O Momins, those who are able to control themselves, they are
the people in whose heart rememberance of ALLAH constantly
continues. These people are far better than those who are
wearing expensive dresses and adorn themselves with precious
stones and ornaments and yet they do not have LOVE for ALLAH in
their hearts.
O Momins, the Almighty ALLAH does not look at the dresses
whether one wears silk dress or a dress made of jute.The
Almighty ALLAH likes purity and sincerity of the heart.
O Momins, if you will control your SELF and your mind you
will experience immense happiness. Avoid doing wrongs. Do not
commit sins. Eat HALAL ROJI earned with honesty. By honesty
your food and your clothings will be purified and when pure food
and clothing are utilized in life, they impart a great
satisfaction.
O Momins,by eating pure food (HALAL ROJI), the volume of
good actions in your life will increase which will give you an
added PEACE and SATISFACTION in your heart.
O Momins, your ROJI -will surely come to you.
Have boundless faith in ALLAH.
O Momins, rest assured, that on each grain of food there is
a mark of your name, which is meant for your ROJI. It is
already destined for you and you are positively going to eat
that food (ROJI) without fail.
O Momins, the millions that you are hoarding become a burden
to you rather than blessing, if that wealth is not used for a
good cause in the life. ALLAH gives ROJI to all in this world.
ALLAH gives ROJI without fail. So why should one be dishonest?
Why should one look for the HARRAM- ROJI (DISHONEST EARNINGS)?
Amir-ul Mominin Mowla Murtaza Ali (A.S.) says in His Holy
Qalam Mubarak: O Momins, have boundless faith in ALLAH. ALLAH
provides ROJI to all in this world and He will provide for you
as well-ALLAH is your CREATOR. If you will keep an absolute
faith in ALLAH your HOME will be full of 'BARAQATS'-with an
abundance of fortunes and to such an extent that you will be in
a position to entertain guests everyday at your home. You will
be prosperous and you will gain so many other achievements in
your life.
O Momins, say thanks -SHUKRANAS -for what you have already
received in your life from the Almighty ALLAH. Do not beg for
anything from others. Maintain your prestige and self-respect.
The Almighty ALLAH is the Master of the Universes. ALLAH is the
Merciful and the Compassionate. He alone will provide you with
ROJI and all your necessities.
O Momins, if you remain satisfied with what you have
received from the Almighty ALLAH your name will be dignified and
the Almighty ALLAH by His Divine Grace will respect you- and He
will reward you.
Amir-ul Mominin Mow'la Murtaza Ali (A.S.) says in His Holy
Qalam Mubarak: O Momins, keep a King-like heart. Whatever you
have received from the Almighty ALLAH consider everything as
ALLAH'S DIVINE GRACE. They are all NIYAMATS fortunes and
Blessings from HIM. They are all for your good. But contrary to
this, if you continue to complain your life will become
miserable.
O Momins,in this material world there is happiness and
unhappiness as well.Why should anybody take unhappiness in
life? Since you are already receiving what is destined for you
then why are you demanding above your destiny?
O Momins, ALLAH gives you ROJI (food). ALLAH by His Divine
Grace also gives you Life. You are, no doubt, the most fortunate
being. You should therefore, from the depth of your heart thank
and say SHUKRANAS DAY AND NIGHT to the Almighty ALLAH for what
you have received from Him. If anybody pays you and also
provides you food regularly, he expects you to labour for it.
The Almighty ALLAH provides you ROJI regularly -He gives you
Life and also protects you in your daily Life day and night and
what does ALLAH expect from you? SHUKRANAS- THANKS -JUST THANKS
from the depth of your heart.
O Momins, the Almighty ALLAH with His most DIVINE Grace
showers His Blessings upon those who say SHUKRANAS -offer
sincere thanks to HIM.
O Momins, offer sincere SHUKRANAS, day and night deep from
your heart to ALLAH; but if you will fail to do this you might
be deprived of the NIYAMATS -'GRACE OF ALLAH'. Why are you not
satisfied with what ALLAH gives you? You ask for more and more
daily. You want every thing- all the wealth of the world.You
worry day and night and you do not enjoy your food. You do not
dress well due to your unnecessary worries and your life
eventually ends miresably. ALLAH has graced you with NIYAMATS -
all the NIYAMATS -gifts -and bounties. Inspite of ALLAH'S
DIVINE GRACE upon you, if you will not offer SHUKRANAS to Him,
your unthankfulness -undesirable attitude will take away all
your BARAQATS from your life. While you have opportunities to
say SHUKRANAS -Thanks to ALLAH -if you did not care to do so;
eventually you will have nothing but regrets in your life, when
all your NIYAMATS -BARAQATS fortunes will be taken away because
of this unthankfulness which is an undesirable attitude of Life.
In this life you will be graced by the Almighty ALLAH -and at
the same time also you should perform IBADAT BANDAGI regularly.
And if you will fail to fulfill your sacred duties then what
Will happen? ALLAH-The Almighty who has showered His Grace
upon you and gave you the most valuable and worthy LIFE -ALLAH
will take away your life. As a result of this you will obviously
be deprived of good fruits-good results of your life.
O Momins, always bear in mind that after sorrows there will
be happiness (KHUSHALI). There is a remedy for all difficulties
and unfavourab1e circumstances. There is comfort and happiness
after hardships. Explain this to your mind and to yourself. This
material world is a Paradise for KAFFIRS. But for the Momins,
this world is like a prison. However many comforts one may have
in life, it is like a drop in the ocean when it is compared with
the HAQIQATI -KHUSHIALI OF AKUBAT.
O Momins, at times one may have to face hardships in this
world but, eventually Momins will positively be highly rewarded
with immense happiness of Paradise in the next world. Momins
will achieve Haqiqati Khushiali and the HOLY NOORANI DIDAR in
the Eternal Life.
O Momins, when you happen to see a religious and pious
person in difficulties, take it for granted that his
difficulties are due to the DIVINE GRACE OF ALLAH. But, when you
find a hypocrite in adversities, assume that his difficulties
are as a result of the wrath of ALLAH because of the misdeeds he
has done in his life.
O Momins, NABI AYUB suffered immensely in his life. His
wholebody became diseased due to terrible worms which
accumulated in his body.
O Momins, be assured that this was a DIVINE GRACE
"RAHEMAT" for AYUB NABI. FIRON opposed Hazarat MOSES therefore
FIRON sunk into serious and grave difficulties. His major
difficulties arose because FIRON was cursed by the Almighty
ALLAH.
O Momins,if any person harms you -KEEP SILENCE. A person
who acts in a wrong manner will eventually be ashamed of his bad
actions. By your silence and patience you will not lose
anything but wrong doers will be disgraced and ashamed badly.
O Momins,keep this Holy Qalam Mubarak as a great treasure
in your heart and remember it constantly.
O Momins, avoid anger. Do not be angry on anybody.
Extinguish the fire of anger in your heart and be afraid of the
wrath of ALLAH.
O Momins, on one occassion a maid servant by her negligence
dropped a bowl of hot porridge on the MUBARAK FACE of Hazarat
Imam Hussein (A.S.). O Momins, do you know what Imam Hussein
(A.S.) did? Hazarat Imam Hussein (A.S.) instantly controlled his
anger and offered a most beautiful gift to his maid -the gift
he offered her was FREEDOM -she was made AZAD - FREE from
slavery.
O Momins,under any circumstances do not be angry. Always
keep calm, cool and patience. Have tolerance and you will have
satisfaction in your heart. Offer SHUKRANAS- Thanks to Almighty
ALLAH. Be assured Almighty ALLAH will remove all your
difficulties in your life.
O Momins, bear in mind that your body and mind will
experience an immense peace and happiness if you offer
SHUKRANAS. Offer thanks to your creator -the Almighty ALLAH.
Say SHUKRANAS with each and every breath you take in your life.
O Momins, once your good habit of saying SHUKRANAS to ALLAH
is formed -as a result of this all your IBADAT BANDAGI, will be
positively accepted by the DIVINE Grace of ALMIGHTY ALLAH.
(AMEN)
