🔻How many Sunni friends do you have?
🔻The Shia & Sunnis should show empathy, which is higher than unity.
🔸The advice of the last Imam before the Occultation is strategic advice before the Reappearance. #ImamHasanAskari (as) said, “…Attract all the hearts to us…” [Tuhaf al-Oqul, p. 488] When the Imam said “all,” he was referring to the Sunnis.
🔸O followers of Imam Ali (as), work toward more than unity between #Shia & #Sunni. Attract their hearts. You can claim to be a Shia of Imam Ali (as) and awaiting Imam Mahdi’s Reappearance (a.j.) when there are Sunnis among your friends too.
🔸Higher than #unity between the Shia & Sunnis, we should raise the slogan of showing #empathy. Not arguing isn’t enough; we should embrace each other.
🔸During the time of the Household of the Prophet (as), great Sunni scholars used to show their love for these descendants of the Prophet and were their students. They considered the love of the Household of the Prophet to be necessary and a part of religion. If your belief is true, you should attract the hearts. The tradition continues, “Keep all bad impressions away from us. Be a decoration for us, not a dishonor.” This means you should be such that when people see you, they praise your Imam who has trained you. “If they become sick, visit them. Be present at their burial. Participate in their group prayers.”
For example, some Sunni brothers believe #ImamMahdi (a.j.) hasn’t been born yet. You can tell them it’s good they like Mahdi (a.j.), we can hold joint celebrations for this amount of oneness that exists.
🔸For #Ashura too we can hold joint gatherings with the Sunni brothers, because Imam Husayn (as) fought with #Yazid, the common enemy of the Shia & Sunni. The crimes Yazid committed against the Sunnis in Medina he didn’t commit against the Shia in Medina. Yazid’s soldiers committed crimes in Medina that the Takfiris don’t do today! They beheaded many of the Prophet’s Companions and the Tabi’un, who were all Sunnis! Imam Husayn (as) is an area where the Shia & Sunni can be #united; both are outraged at Yazid.
🔸We honor the martyrdom of Imam Hasan Askari (as) & the start of the Imamate of our last Imam, Imam Mahdi (a.j.).

📷 A Dangerous Situation
This is not advice on morals to say that we should reduce our attachments to things in this world. Rather, this is informing us about a dangerous situation. Because, each attachment crushes us under the most severe sorrows.

📷 Learn to fly
God wants to teach us how to fly. If He leaves us to be free, it is because He wants us to practice flapping our wings. This does not mean that it is unimportant for Him if we drop.

🔻How can one see God?
🔻God is living with us through tests in each moment of our lives.
👉🏼 Destiny (9)
🔸We can see God in #tests. God is living with us through tests in each moment of our lives. If we live with God with this outlook, we will gradually know God. And based on the tests that He takes from us, we can understand what topics He is sensitive about, because we cannot know a person well unless we live with him.
🔸God does not give us #blessings for us to relax some, then again give us some #tragedies! Rather, He gives blessings to test us and see how we behave with blessings. In the same way, He gives us hardships in order to test us.
🔸Sometimes God commands a person – due to his vices – to come and #bother us. We should not hold a grudge against him, because we were supposed to pass this test and this person is a tool with which God is testing us. In this world, all social and family #relationships are tools for being tested. Even our children are tools for testing us. [Qur’an 8:28]
🔸In designing our lives, God could have refrained from putting #sleeping. One of the tests in sleeping is when God tests us if we get up at dawn to pray or not! The sweetness of sleeping is to see if we are willing to pass up the sweetness of sleeping because of God.
🔸At the time of the Call to Prayer, God is looking at each one of us to see how we behave in this test. Are we willing to immediately put aside what we are thinking about in order to pray? Are we willing to put aside what we are very busy doing? Are we willing to pass on the sweetness of sleeping in the early morning? Are we willing to leave the mood we are in and pray?

Our most important fault is that our faults are hidden. Worse than that is that our faults hide themselves behind our good deeds and we justify them.

📷 An Opportunity to Grow
God is infinitely more patient than to punish His servants because of them doing the smallest sins. The tragedies in this world are to help a servant to grow more than being a punishment. In giving hardships to His servants, God suffices with the least. He postpones bringing a tribulation to His servant, and He removes that suffering from His servant as soon as possible.

🔻We cannot ask God to not test us!
🔻In the same way that the philosophy behind our lives is to be tested, the philosophy behind our religion is to be tested too.
👉🏼 Destiny (10)
🔸We consider #tests to be like a machine, which is affected by different factors, such as: thoughts, likings, wishes, beliefs, actions, intentions, prayers, God & His Guardian’s affection for us, & the good & bad behaviors of those around us. These are the input of this machine & the output is our destiny, which determines the confines of our authority.
🔸God has created us in this world to test us. [Qur’an 67:2] We also know we can’t leave the domain of God’s rule. [Kumayl Supplication] Therefore, it is wiser if we don’t try to #escape from tests. Instead, we can ask God, “O God, take the best & easiest tests from us…” or “O God, my test has become hard. Take easier tests from me.” But we can’t say, “God, don’t test us.”
🔸It is impossible for the philosophy behind our lives to be testing, but the philosophy behind our religion not to be testing.
🔸For example, we have been told that if we see someone is #sinning in #hiding, we shouldn’t expose him. One reason is that by exposing him, the possibility of testing him in that area will be eliminated. The reason we have been commanded not to #backbite is so that a sinner will have the opportunity to sin without being disgraced.
🔸Why have they said that women should listen to their husbands in several specific cases (of course this does not mean men have absolute control over women)? Although it is for harmony between men & women, it is also for people to be tested. Some people ask, “What if a man makes mistakes?” The answer is that these mistakes are a part of the tests too. If no complexities were involved, this would not have been a test!
🔸Another example is parents. Even if your parents are unbelievers, you must respect & listen to them except when they say something against God’s commands. You should not say, “Parents are from one generation & children are from a different generation so they usually disagree.” The Almighty God knew this too, but He gave this command to test us.

📷 The Solution to the Riddles in Our Lives
Without thinking about our lives in the Hereafter, the riddles in our lives in this world will not be solved. Life’s complexities will increase for a person who does not think about his/her life in the Hereafter. An understanding of life and the wisdom behind its events is given to a person who is restless to go to the Hereafter, like a person for whom all the riddles of life are solved after his/her death.

📷 The Eternal Effect of Divine Tests
If we believe each and every test that comes to us will have an eternal effect and that we will live with the results of these tests in this world and in the Hereafter forever, we will be careful not to miss passing even one of them. We should not feel afraid. It is enough for us to seek help from God, then we will definitely pass all of the tests.
