🔻 Why did the Prophet (s) used to abandon the Ka’ba and go to a mountain to worship?
🔻 Imam Hadi (‘a) said that the Prophet’s character grew and developed in nature.
🔸One of a believer’s traits is that he/she is fond of nature, loves being in nature and benefits from it spiritually.
🔸Why did the Prophet (s), who knew the greatness of the reward of #worshiping next to the Ka’ba, often abandon the Ka’ba and go to be in the #mountains and valleys? Why didn’t he stop going to the mountains? What did he see in mountains, and how did he benefit from going into the mountains?
🔸Imam Hadi (‘a) said, “The Prophet (s) used to go to Mount Hira’ every day and see the effects of God’s mercy in nature. In this way, he was reminded of the Almighty God.” [Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 17, p. 309] Imam Hadi (‘a) said that the Prophet’s character grew and developed in nature. And, this is a way that is open to everyone.
🔸It is very bad for a believer not to have spiritual recreation in nature! Recreation in nature is in fact for the believers, and for those who hear nature glorifying God and can sense the light of its spirituality.
🔸It is good if people who are used to going to the Mosque have a weekly program to take their families into nature. Going into nature should be a regular activity of the believers and the Muslims.
🔸A person with a pure heart spiritually enjoys nature that is #glorifying God. “Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth declares the glory of Allah.” [Qur’an 62:1] Nature welcomes such a person and becomes happy due to his/her presence. He/she benefits from nature, and nature benefits from him/her.
🔸Imam Reza (‘a) said, “Looking at the sea is an act of worship.” [Sahifah of Imam Reza (‘a), p. 90] The way that the “Nudbah Supplication” can be read next to the sea, can it be read like that anywhere else?! Can one pray the Midnight Prayer that is prayed in a mountain the same way at home?! If it was possible and it was the same thing, the Prophet would not have gone to the mountain.
🔸Congratulations on the anniversary of the birth of Imam Hadi (‘a)!

🔻In this world, success means being successful in the divine tests.
🔻Other successes in life are the tools for us to be tested.
👉🏼 Destiny (7)
🔸When the central factor for our destinies, for the prophets being sent, and for the religious laws are for us to be tested, this means that the main thing in this world is neither suffering nor being comfortable. Therefore, people’s goals should not be success, comfort and blessings, and of course, no one’s goal should be to be in pain, suffering, bothering oneself or giving hardships to oneself.
🔸We are not supposed to search for #success in this world. This means that we should not be after reaching that optimal point that we have in mind. The optimal point is to pass tests correctly. Our only success is to be successful in divine #tests.
🔸When we say that the central factor for divine destinies is tests, this means that whether you are given hardship or comfort, this is for you to be tested. [Qur’an 89:15–16]
🔸When we see some differences between others and ourselves, we should not say that this is #discrimination and this is in contradiction with God’s justice! The Commander of the Faithful, Ali (as), said, “Do not count wealth and children to be the criteria of God’s anger or pleasure. This stems from your ignorance about divine tests and trials for testing [people’s] abilities and powers.” [Nahj al-Balaghah, sermon no. 192]
🔸We can say that the #primary, practical goal of the creation of human beings is to be #tested. The Qur’an says, “It is He who has created death and life to put you to the test.” [67:2] The #intermediary goal of creation is “#worshiping and servitude.” The Qur’an says, “We have created jinn and human beings only that they might worship Me.” [51:56] The #ultimate aim and goal of creation is #meeting_God.” The Qur’an states, “…you are working hard toward your Lord and you will meet Him.” [84:6] It also states, “We are the servants of God and to Him we shall all return.” [2:156] In other words, the primary goal of creation that we are facing in our actions in this world is testing.
