O God, if the best for me with Thee lies in delaying the taking to task for my sake of him who has wronged me and in refraining from vengeance toward him until the Day of Decision and the Gathering of Disputants, then bless Muhammad and his Household, strengthen me from Thee with true intention and lasting patience, give me refuge from evil desire and the impatience of the greedy, and form in my heart the image of Thy reward which Thou hast stored away for me and the repayment and punishment which Thou has prepared for my disputant! Make this a cause of my contentment with what Thou hast decreed and my trust in what Thou hast chosen! Amen, Lord of the worlds! Thou art of bounty abounding and Thou art powerful over everything. Imam Sajjad (as) Sahifa-e-Sajjadiyah

Warning against the unfaithful Scholars.

Imam Hassan Askari (asws) has warned us regarding unfaithful scholars, who claim to be righteous ones as: Among Shia scholars are those who hold animosity against our true followers. These scholars do not dare to explicitly publicize their ill-feelings against us (asws) and try to reduce our (asws) eloquent status. They, however, try to get the attention of our followers through quoting our teachings. Once they see that some of less-firm become fond of them then they try to find flaws and weaknesses in our (asws) attributes and present their filthy ideas to the enemies of our true-followers. Then they make use of ‘Qias and Ijtihad’ to justify and promote their false ideologies. Indeed, (its Allah (azwj)’ promise) imperfection can never come near us. These scholars, however, manage to trap our weak followers, as the latter think these scholars are preaching our (asws) teaching and end-up loosing adherence to our Wilayat. This group of scholars are more dangerous to our infirm-followers as compared with the Yazid’s (la) army. Who committed atrocities against Imam Hussain (asws) and his (asws) companions. As this group will not only take away the sole of our weak-followers’ Aman but also rob them of their belongings. This group is ‘Ulema-e-Suu’. These are those who would hate our devout followers and always try to overcome them by saying that they too love Ahlul Bait (asws) and hate their (asws) enemies. They always try to disguise their motive through pretending they receive our blessings and thereby trying to induce doubt regarding our Divine attributes in the hearts of our weak-followers. And Alas! some become their victims and they stop them from reaching our Divine message and attributes.

Recommended Salaa't on Friday



Friday evening Salat
Regarding the prayer for Friday eve the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) said: If one recites two rakat prayers and in each rakat after Surah Hamd recites Surah Tawheed 70 times and after the prayer recites Astaghfirullaah 70 times, then by the One Who has sent me with truth anyone who performs this act and does Isteghfar then even if he supplicates for my whole nation the Almighty would accept his supplication and would enter the whole nation in Paradise.

Salaat 2 for Friday 

It is related from Amirul Mo-mineen (a.s.) that one who recites this day eight-rakat prayer in the forenoon the Almighty elevates him a thousand levels in Paradise.

The prayer for Friday is four rakats. In each rakat after Surah Hamd recite Ayatul Kursi 15 times and after the prayers recite Astaghfirullaah 70 times and 'Laa hawla wala Quwwata illa billa'  50 times.

Salaat 3 for Friday 

It is narrated from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) that one who recites four rakats prayer on Friday and in each rakat after Surah Hamd recites Surah Mulk and Surah Ha Mim the Almighty would admit him into Paradise and would accept his intercession for his family members and keep him safe from the squeeze of the grave and the punishment of Qiyamat.

The narrator asked the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) regarding the time of these prayers. He (s.a.w.s.) replied: After sunrise and before noon. That is in between the two.

We should know that all these prayers for the days of the week are narrated from Imam Hasan al-Askari (a.s.) and he has quoted from his forefathers.

5 short maxims of Imam Al-Askari (as)

  1. Imam Al-Askari (peace be upon him) said: Do not dispute (with others) lest you will lose splendor and do not joke (with everyone) lest you will be disrespected.
  2. Imam Al-Askari (peace be upon him) said: As for those who accept to sit in a place other than the first row of a session, God and His angels will bless them until they leave that session.
  3. Imam Al-Askari (peace be upon him) answer the man who asked him a miracle or a proof of Imamate: The punishment will be doubled for those who refuted the miracle or proof of Imamate after it had been presented to them according to their demand. He who shows patience will be supplied with the support of God. People are accustomed to publicize false missives that they themselves forge.1 We supplicate to God for guiding us (to the right). Matters are either submission or destruction. The end results of everything belong to God.
  4. Imam Al-Askari (peace be upon him) answered the man who reported to him the disagreement of Shias: God has addressed to the intelligent exclusively. People are of different classes: some are the discerning on a way of
    ___________________________________________
1 In this statement, Imam Al-Hasan Al-Askari (peace be upon him) may refer to God’s saying (in the Holy Quran, Sura of Al-Muddetthir –74- Verse –52-): “Is it that everyone of them wants to receive a heavenly book addressed to him personally?” Hence, the Imam may want to say that people are naturally disposed for the wish to receive a heavenly book for God addressed to them personally.

salvation; they are holding fast to the right and clinging to the branch of the origin; they are neither doubtful not suspicious; they do not consider a shelter other than me. Some are those who have not received the right from its very people; they are like those who embarked on a ship; they ripple when the sea is wavy and calm down when the sea is calm. Some are those are dominated by the Shaitan; their one and only job is to refute the people of the right and substitute the wrong for the right out of envy. Hence, leave those who went astray to the right and left. When a shepherd wants to gather the hoard, he will not need to exert efforts for so. Beware of divulging our secrets and seeking power, for these two things drive into perdition. 

Imam Al-Askari (peace be upon him) said: 
Within the unforgivable sins are the sins whose committers wish if they would not commit anything else.
Imam Al-Askari (peace be upon him) then said: 
Polytheism of people is more hidden that the creeping of ants of a black piece of cloth in a gloomy night.
