📷 The Sins of Good People
If you want to be a servant of God, the first step is to not sin! When you have become free of sins, you will repent for many sins: the sin of the thanking, which you can never do completely, the sin of not carrying out the duties of a servant as they should be done, the sin of not seeing oneself as a sinner, the sin of being very far from Him, and the sins, which only the good people can understand. Because of these sins, these people weep bitterly at night.

📷 A Golden Opportunity
It is very difficult to carry out life’s normal activities having a pure motivation just for God. However, the current circumstances are such that one can marry because of God and have a child because of God. This is because the need to bring more offspring is a vital issue for today’s Islamic society. This is a golden opportunity for a young believer to build and strengthen a family with the intention of getting closer to God.

📷 A Wise Person
If we use every moment and every choice that we have to seek the best, we are a wise person. The best definition for wisdom is “a desire to choose the best.” Of course, in the affairs of this world, there are many times when a best choice does not exist. We have to be satisfied with less, but we shouldn’t become attached to it. If a person is wise, he or she will only be in love with God and the “Friends of God.”

📷 What is the cause of misplaced sadness?
People usually become happy for the same reasons that they become sad. If you want to become sad less and not grieve for the wrong reasons, do not make yourself happy without reason or for shallow reasons. Misplaced happiness will bring misplaced sadness.

📷 Seeking this World
It is natural to love the world, but it is also natural to be able to disconnect one’s heart from this world. This is because one starts with seeking the world, but cannot remain in loving this world. It should be seen when and how the world ends for each person and how people become disinterested in it. Some lose interest in the world due to suffering and difficulties, and some by thinking about the Hereafter and ...

📌 What should we do to gain the most benefit from the Arbaeen pilgrimage?
🔸One of the important preparations is for us to know what is happening there. What blessings and benefits come from making a pilgrimage on foot? We should realize where we are and what they want to give us. When we know these things, we will benefit more.

📷 Affection for Good People
Liking the good people in the world for their goodness is a simple and important way to save oneself from the two very bad vices of arrogance and jealousy. Good people should be liked, even if it is not to our benefit, so that we may be saved from selfishness and its bad effects. Moreover, the love of the “Friends of God” and their friends brings the greatest benefit to us.

📌 Visit Imam Husayn’s shrine with understanding
🔸It has been said in the past, “Visit Imam Husayn’s shrine with understanding.” This knowledge has different aspects. One of its aspects is for us to realize which path we are walking on. We should know what the “Friends of God” have said about a person who goes to Karbala and what prayers are made for such a person. Knowing these gives you an expanded existence, which is the necessary factor for attracting light, blessings, and grace on this path. It gives us the capacity to benefit from these blessings.

📷 Needs and Interests
Our needs and our interests deceive each other. We should not imagine that everything we have an interest in we necessarily need, or that everything we need, we will surely find interest in. Anyone who is not interested in their worthless needs is free and at ease.

📷 Becoming a Human Being through Love
God repeatedly says in the Qur'an that if you do the wrong thing, I will not love you; and, if you do the right thing, I will love you. God encourages, threatens, and nurtures His faithful servants with His love. It is clear that becoming a good person due to God’s love is preferable to becoming a good person based on a fear of Hell and for the reward of Heaven.
