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.

Books by Sayed Al-Qazwini

smq
Sayed Moustafa Al-Qazwini (Arabic: سيد مصطفى القزويني‎ born 1961 in Karbala, Iraq) is an Islamic religious leader who has achieved recognition as a religious educator, leader and author. Al-Qazwini can allegedly[citation needed] trace his lineage forty-two generations back to Muhammad. Al-Qazwini initiated his higher religious studies in Qum, Iran where he was awarded with a B.A. and M.A. in Islamic Studies in 1985. During 1987-1989 he served as professor of Islamic Studies at the Islamic seminary in Damascus, Syria. From 1989-1994 he contributed as associated imam and professor of Islamic Studies at several Islamic centers and foundations in London, England. Shortly after his arrival in California in 1994, Sayed Moustafa Al-Qazwini became the founder and director of the Islamic Cultural Center of San Diego, California. This center was the first Shia mosque established in San Diego County for religious and social events. The success of this mosque in San Diego enabled him to found another mosque in Orange County, California. In September 1996, he founded the Islamic Educational Center of Orange County (IECOC), drawing on his experience in Islamic Studies. As of 2009, the IECOC has become an active community center. Al-Qazwini's past associations have included: being chairman of the Development and World Events Committee of the Islamic Shura Council of Southern California (an umbrella organization for sixty-four mosques and Islamic centers), a board member of the council of Shia Muslim scholars of North America. For the past six years he has co-chaired the West Coast Dialogue of Muslims and Catholics, and has been an advisor for the United Muslim American Association for six years. He spends much of his time lecturing across the world and nationally at churches, universities and on panels with other parishioners. Al-Qazwini is married and has five children and three grandchildren.
Here are some fantastic works of Sayed Al-Qazwini;

From-Resolution-to-Revolution---FINAL-FLAT
This book is a compilation of a progressive lecture series delivered over a three-year span in London, England, from 2005 to 2007 (1426-1428 AH) during the Ashura season. The series given reflect a number of spiritual, social, and individual struggles that resonate within every person, and further seek to provide spiritual direction to those challenges.
Since the lectures were inspired by the character and sacrifice of the grandson of Prophet Muhammad, Imam Husayn b. Ali, peace be upon them, whose life was taken in the midst of his prime years, highlighting the years of youth, in particular Muslim youths living in the West, will predominate most of the themes throughout the book. 
The raising of ethical character is the platform by which the brick and mortar of practice and faith sets the foundation for attaining human perfection. The combined elements of faith and practice are used to understand and resolve issues dealing with Muslim youth, in areas such as youth leadership, family, marriage, personal and spiritual refinement based on the Qur’an and the ways of Prophet Muhammad, and the imams (the Ahlul-Bayt) that followed him.

Inquiries-about-Shi'a-Islam-FLATIntroduction
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
Those who listen to the Word and follow the best of it:  those are the ones whom Allah has guided, and  those are the ones with understanding.

The Shi‘a and Sunni schools of thought form the two wings of the Islamic nation that allow it to fly and carry out its lofty objectives. A great Muslim scholar once said, “Those who attempt to cause division between the Shi‘a and Sunni are neither Shi‘a nor Sunni.” Written under this premise, the book in hand should clarify some common questions and inquiries about the philosophy and practice of Shi‘a Islam. The Shi‘a and Sunni schools of thought differ primarily in jurisprudence and have far more similarities than differences. Every school of thought in Islam must be respected because they all can lead people to salvation.

When-Power-and-Piety-Collide---FINAL-FLAT2The Shia have primarily been the most misunderstood of the Muslim schools of thought. It has been the case throughout Muslim history and until now that the Shia ideology and its followers are persecuted and ridiculed. In recent times, it is been more accelerated politically after the invasion of Iraq in 2003. The Muslim world then witnessed an increasing attack against Shia Islam and its followers. A tsunami effect of ignorance and prejudice batters the Shia. Unsubstantially described as “interpreting their own form of Islam,” the Shia have been hammered with radical accusations as being “renegades” and “rebellious” by those who believe that the Shia doctrine is some form of a “cult” or that it is at “odds” with mainstream Muslims.


Discovering-Islam-FLATDiscovering Islam is an invitation to learn about the fundamental message, spirit, and practice of Islam. This book covers an array of essential concepts, practices, and beliefs. It takes you through the core principle of the Oneness of God to the most contemporary concept of jihad.
The message of Islam is universal. Islam is not intended to be a faith of followers from a certain descent; nor does it belong to one geographical part of the world; nor does it belong to a different time era.
Islam is a progressive and adapting religion that transcends all racial, native tongue, socio-economic, and gender lines. It is open and free to be explored, challenged, accepted, and even rejected. God says in the Quran, “There is no compulsion in religion. The right direction is henceforth distinct from error. Thus whoever rejects evil and believes in God has  grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold that never breaks.” (2:256)

Training: Training denotes the missionary program sent by Allah and it is related to Him.

And teaches them the Book and the Wisdom. (Surah Jumah 62:2).

This portion of the verse shows that training is related to two things,
'Book' and 'Wisdom'. Actually both are one and the same. 'Book' means
the knowledge of the Holy Quran and wisdom denotes the secret of the
creation of the Universe. In other words 'Book' is the codification of religious
law and 'Wisdom' means the realities connected with creation of
the universe and it is related to natural factors. For example the

Almighty has created the universe. Now this is not a religious command.

Therefore, one who intends to acquire perfection and righteousness
must strive for Quranic knowledge. One should study it and act upon it.
The verses regarding the oneness of Allah, His names, attributes and
Divine acts must be studied with concentration and through this exercise
we must strengthen our basic beliefs. We must also pay attention to the
laws of Shariah. We must perform obligatory acts and shun prohibited
ones. We must also ponder on the verses with regard to Day of Judgment.
Through these verses each one of us must create a longing for
Paradise and a fear of Hell. In this way a man is gradually persuaded to
perform good deeds and distance himself from evil deeds.

There are many verses of the Quran concerning wisdom and which
cannot be understood by the five senses of man. A study of these verses
indeed tells man regarding his origin and his destination. What is the
aim behind the creation of man and other creatures? And why they subsequently
leave the world? What is the purpose of designing and devising
the long caravan of creatures and created things? The reply to the
questions is the foundation of Quran.

-Ayatullah Shaheed Dastaghaib Shirazi Ref: Book, Qalbe Saleem, advice of training.

Imam Sadiq (as)'s explanation on Taqwa.

Precaution (taqwa) has three facets:

1. Precaution by dependence on Allah, which means leaving behind
contradiction and going beyond any shade of doubt, and this is the precaution
exercised by the highest.
2. The precaution of Allah, which means to abandon all doubtful matters
and to leave the forbidden (haram) alone; this is the precaution of
the elite.
3. The precaution of the Fire and Punishment, which results in leaving
alone what is forbidden; this is the precaution of the general public.

Precaution is like water flowing in a river. The three levels of precaution
are like trees of every color and variety planted on the bank of that
river, each tree absorbing water from that river according to its essence,
capacity, delicateness and thickness.
Then the benefits, which creatures take from these trees and fruits, are
according to their value and worth. Allah said,

Palm trees having one root and [others] having distinct roots - they
are watered with one water, and We make some of them excel others in
fruit. (13:4)

Precaution in acts of obedience to Allah is like water for the trees, and
the natures of the trees and their fruits in their colors and tastes are like
the measures of belief. Whoever has the highest degree in belief and the
purest nature with respect to the soul has the greatest precaution. He who is careful, and has the purer and more sincere worship: whoever is
like that is nearer to Allah.
But every act of devotion that is founded on something other than precaution
comes to nothing. Allah said,

Is he, therefore, better who laid his foundation on fear of Allah and
[His] good pleasure, or he who laid his foundation on the edge of a
cracking, hollowed bank, so it broke down with him into the fire of
Hell? (9:109)

The explanation of precaution is to avoid entering an affair which contains
no harm simply out of fear of one which does. It is, in reality, obedience
without rebellion, remembrance without forgetfulness, knowledge
without ignorance, and it is accepted by Allah and not rejected.

Imam Sadiq (as) on Knowledge

Knowledge is the basis of every sublime state and the culmination of
every high station. That is why the Holy Prophet said, 'It is the duty of
every Muslim, man and woman, to seek knowledge,' that is, the knowledge
of precaution (taqwa) and certainty. Imam 'Ali [a] said, “Seek
knowledge, though it be in China,” meaning the knowledge of genesis of
the self, in it is contained knowledge of the Lord.


The Holy Prophet said, 'Whoever knows his own self knows his Lord;
moreover, you should acquire that knowledge without which no action
is correct, and that is sincerity … We seek refuge with Allah from knowledge
which has no benefit', that is, from knowledge which is contrary to
actions performed with sincerity.


Know that a small amount of knowledge requires a great deal of action,
because knowledge of the Hour requires the person who has such
knowledge to act accordingly during his entire life. ‘Isa [a] said, 'I saw a
stone on which was written, "Turn me over", so I turned it over. Written
on the other side was "Whoever does not act by what he knows will be
doomed by seeking what he does not know, and his own knowledge will
be turned against him."


Allah revealed to David, 'The least that I shall do to someone with
knowledge who does not act by his knowledge is worse than the seventy
inner punishments which result in My removing from his heart the
sweetness of My remembrance.' There is no way to Allah except via
knowledge. And knowledge is the adornment of man in this world and
the next, his driver to Paradise, and by means of it he attains Allah's contentment
with him.


He who truly knows is the one in whom sound actions,pure supplications, truthfulness sand precaution speak out;not his tongue, his debates,
his comparisons, assertions or claims. In times other than these, those
who sought knowledge were those who had intellect, piety, wisdom,
modesty and caution; but nowadays we see that those who seek it do not
have any of these qualities. The man of knowledge needs intellect, kindness,
compassion, good counsel, forbearance, patience, contentment and
generosity;while anyone wishing to learn needs a desire for knowledge,
will, devotion (of his time and energy), piety, caution, memory and
resolution.

"I heard Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (a.s.) say, ‘O people, you must know that religion becomes complete through seeking knowledge and acting accordingly. You must know that seeking 
knowledge is much more urgent for you than seeking wealth. In wealth every one’s share is 
guaranteed. A just person has already divided the wealth among you. He and my sword 
guarantee you to receive your share. Knowledge, however, is stored with those who possess 
it. You are commanded to seek knowledge from its sources (those who possess it). You must 
seek knowledge.’"

H 39, Ch. 1, h 5

A number of our people has narrated has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Barqi from

religious learning and, after completing their studies, guide their group so that they will have 
fear of God. (9:122)’"

H 41, Ch. 1, h 7

Al-Hassan ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ja‘far ibn Muhammad from al-Qasim ibn alRabi‘ from Mufaddal ibn ‘Umar who has said the following:

"I heard abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) say, ‘It is necessary for you to have good understanding of 
religion of Allah. Do not be like Bedouins because those who do not gain good understanding 
of religion, Allah will not look to then on the Day of Judgement and none of his deeds will be 
cleansed.’"

H 42, Ch. 1, h 8

acquaint himself with his brethren."

  • Ahadith taken from Usool-e-Kafi

Short Maxims of Imam Muhammed Al-Baqir (as)


  1. Imam Al-Baqir (peace be upon him) said: Use kind words with the hypocrite, love the faithful believer sincerely, and regard your association with (even) the Jew who sits with you.
  2. Imam Al-Baqir (peace be upon him) said: No mixture is better than the mixture of clemency and knowledge.
  3. Imam Al-Baqir (peace be upon him) said: The whole perfection is knowledgeability of the religious affairs, steadfastness against misfortunes, and moderation in living.
  4. Imam Al-Baqir (peace be upon him) said: By God (I swear), the arrogant is trying to strip God.
  5. Imam Al-Baqir (peace be upon him), one day, asked the attendants, “What is personality?” Each of them provided his own opinion. Afterwards, he (peace be upon him) said: Personality is to avoid greed so as not to be humble, avoid begging so as not to be disgraced, avoid niggardliness so as not to be insulted, and avoid ignorance so as not to be opposed.
    “Who can do all these?” wondered they. He (peace be upon him) answered: He who wants to be like him who looks into the pupil of the eye, the musk in an odor, and enjoys the same standing of a present caliph –king- will be able to do so.
  6. Before Imam Al-Baqir (peace be upon him), a man said: “O Allah, make us do without people.” The Imam instructed: Do not say such a statement; you should say: O Allah, make us do without the evil ones. A faithful brother cannot do without his brother.
  7. Imam Al-Baqir (peace be upon him) said: Do the right and seclude from whatever does not concern you. Avoid your enemy. Beware of your friend except the honest ones who fear God. Never accompany the sinful and never show him your secrets. Seek the consult of those who fear God.
  8. Imam Al-Baqir (peace be upon him) said: A twenty-year friendship is kinship.
  9. Imam Al-Baqir (peace be upon him) said: You would better deal with no one except him whom you did a favor.
  10. Imam Al-Baqir (peace be upon him) said: Three manners are the charities of this world and the world to come: they are to pardon him who oppressed you, regard him who ruptured relations with you, and possess yourself when one’s ignorance inflicts you.
  11. Imam Al-Baqir (peace be upon him) said: Oppression is of three sorts; a sort God will not forgive, another God will forgive, and a third God will not overlook it. Regarding the first one, it is polytheism. The second is the secret oppression of oneself. The third is the servants’ oppressing each other.
  12. Imam Al-Baqir (peace be upon him) said: The servant (of God) who abstains from supporting his brother and exerting efforts for settling his need will suffer from exerting efforts for settling a need that causes him to commit a sin and deprives him of the reward. The servant who abstains from spending alms that pleases the Lord will spend many folds of those alms in a field that displeases God.
  13. Imam Al-Baqir (peace be upon him) said: Anything of God’s act is good for the faithful believer.
  14. Imam Al-Baqir (peace be upon him) said: God dislikes people who beg each other importunately, but he loves it for Himself. Hence, God the Glorified likes people to beg Him and ask for what He has in possession.
  15. Imam Al-Baqir (peace be upon him) said: People’s admonitions will not benefit him whom God does not make him learn lessons of admonition from his own self.
  16. Imam Al-Baqir (peace be upon him) said: The scale of him whose outer appearance is more preferable than his conscience is weightless.
  17. Imam Al-Baqir (peace be upon him) said: It happens that you address to a man, ‘May God fling your enemy,’ while that man’s only enemy is God.
  18. Imam Al-Baqir (peace be upon him) said: Three categories of people should not say salaam: they are those who are in their ways for offering the (congregational) Friday Prayer, those who walk in a funeral, and those who sit in a public bathroom.
  19. Imam Al-Baqir (peace be upon him) said: A scholar whose knowledge is advantageous (for people) is better than seventy thousand worshippers.
  20. Imam Al-Baqir (peace be upon him) said: A servant will not be scholar before he gets rid of envying those who precede him and belittling those who are less than him in (grade) of knowledge.
