Sayyiduna Imam al-Hussain Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho:
*. Dishonoured is he, who is a Miser.
*. If you wish to become a leader then make action and movement, toil
and labour your business.
*. You are seeing the different types of business dealings shows that
the World is changing its colours (becomingmore fickle), turning its
face away, emptying itself of good, but we still have a little time, a
contemptible life is left, dangerand fearfulness has enclosed, Alas
with regret, can't you see that justice and truth have been placed
behind, falsehood is being practised openly, whosoever hand you grab
to rescue he does not want to be rescued towards the everlasting and
Almighty creator, nor does he wish to fulfil his duties to his Eternal
Lord. I prefer martyrdom, instead of living a life under these
oppressors for such a lifeis also a crime.
*. The World has changed coloursand it has been deprived of good, Is
there nobody that would stop the oppressor fromoppression, The time
has comefor the Mo'min to come forth and to sacrifice everything for
the sake of Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala.
*. Do not fear that which you do not understand, not cannot attain.
*. Do not keep high hopes for anyremuneration for work which is more
than necessary.
*. If you know the results of a jobwill be difficult, then do not take
its responsibilities upon your shoulders.
*. The highest status amongst the forgiving is of that person who has
all the power to avenge himself yet he adopts to forgive.
*. All the people whom I loved have departed from this World and I am
left amongst those whom I don't like.
*. The best use of wealth is to modestly and honourably resolve it.
