📷 Working collectively is practice in obeying and accepting Guardianship (Welayat)

A person’s presence in a collective of the people is a kind of obeying and accepting Guardianship in itself; because, one has accepted his friend’s superiority. This is the beginning to accepting the superiority of the Guardian (Wali) placed by God. On the other hand, accepting Guardianship means preparing to participate in an organization of the people and accepting other people’s superiority over oneself. In Guardianship, you have accepted the principle of the superiority of people over each other.

📷 The system of Guardianship (Welayat) is the only way to achieve sovereignty by the people.

The system of Guardianship is the only way for people to rule. The role of Guardianship is like the role of a referee in a soccer field. It is not possible to have a good game without him. The players are not able to show their abilities and creativities without the referee’s presence and power. It is in the presence of powerful refereeing that a free and fair game is possible.

📷 Seeing the Future

Thinking about the future is a skill. For some people with particular mentalities learning this skill is necessary. Some people don’t have this ability to see the future and think about it, even though they are not necessarily pursuing their desires very much. In order to obtain this skill, we have to start by thinking about the near future and gradually reach to thinking about the last moments of life and the Hereafter.

📷 The Only Way to Tolerate the Afflictions of This World

The only way to tolerate the afflictions of this world, and to eliminate many of them, is to believe in meeting God. This can give enjoyment to a person in this world. It will even make him anticipate and eager to meet God. The Quran states, “And seek assistance through patience and prayer, and most surely it is a hard thing, except for the humble ones, who know that they shall meet their Lord…”

📷 The Condition for Understanding the Philosophy of the Ritual Prayer (Salaat)

If a person has doubt about the principle of meeting God, or if he cannot believe that the most joyful moment of a person’s life is when he meets God, he cannot deeply understand the philosophy of praying. We must first consider what the purpose of creation is. What is the end of a person’s life?

📷 The purpose of creation is Meeting God.

The Ritual Prayer (Salaat) reminds us that the purpose of creation is meeting God. This is a meeting, which forms the most joyful moments of a person’s life. Its joy will never decrease a bit, and it constantly becomes newer and more intoxicating. It is not hard to understand that the joy and excitement of meeting God is more than the joy we receive from all of His creation.

📷 Prayer, a Reminder of the Purpose of Creation (Meeting God)

The Ritual Prayer (Salaat) is a reminder of the purpose of creation, a goal which we forget more than anything else. If we forget the purpose of creation, remembering God will not help us very much. It is much more effective to remember God by remembering the purpose of creation.
