الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

وَقَدْ سُئِلَ عن معنى قولهم: لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ باللهِ: إِنَّا لاَ نَمَلِكُ مَعَ اللهِ شَيْئاً، وَلاَ نَمْلِكُ إِلاَّ مَا مَلَّكَنَا، فَمَتَى مَلَّكَنَا مَا هُوَ أَمْلَكُ بِهِ مِنَّاكَلَّفَنَا، وَمَتى أَخَذَهُ مِنَّا وَضَعَ تَكْلِيفَهُ عَنَّا

Imam Ali (as):

Imam Ali (AS), in his explanation of the phrase ‘There is no power or strength save in Allah’, said, ‘Verily we are not masters over anything with Allah, nor are we masters over anything except what He has given us mastery over. So by making us masters over that which He is a superior Master, He gives us a burden to carry, and by taking away mastership from us He relieves us of the burden.’

قَالَ لُقْمَانُ لِابْنِه‏: لِلْعَالِمِ ثَلَاثُ عَلَامَاتٍ الْعِلْمُ بِاللَّهِ وَ بِمَا يُحِبُّ وَ بِمَا يَكْرَهُ.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

The scholar has three signs: He knows Allah and he also knows what He loves and what He detests.

رسول الله (صلی الله علیه و آله):

أَمَّا عَلَامَةُ الْعِلْمِ فَأَرْبَعَةٌ الْعِلْمُ بِاللَّهِ وَ الْعِلْمُ بِمُحِبِّيهِ وَ الْعِلْمُ بِفَرَائِضِهِ وَ الْحِفْظُ لَهَا حَتَّى تُؤَدَّى‏.

The Prophet Muhammad (S):

There are four signs of knowledge: knowing Allah, knowing those who love Him, knowledge of obligations [laid down by] Allah, and attending to them until one fulfils them.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ مُحَمَّداً «ص»بِالْحَقِّ لِيُخْرِجَ عِبَادَهُ مِنْ عِبَادَةِ الْأَوْثَانِ إِلَى عِبَادَتِهِ وَ مِنْ طَاعَةِ الشَّيْطَانِ إِلَى طَاعَتِهِ بِقُرْآنٍ قَدْ بَيَّنَهُ وَ أَحْكَمَهُ لِيَعْلَمَ الْعِبَادُ رَبَّهُمْ إِذْ جَهِلُوه‏ وَ لِيُقِرُّوا بِهِ بَعْدَ إِذْ جَحَدُوه‏.

Imam Ali (as):

… then Allah sent Muhammad with truth so that he may take out His servants from the worship of Idols into His worship, from obeying Satan into His obedience, by virtue of a book [the Quran] which He clarified and solidified, so that the servants may know their Lord after being ignorant of Him and acknowledge Him after denying Him.

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ شَهَادَةً مُمْتَحَناً إِخْلَاصُهَا مُعْتَقَداً مُصَاصُهَا نَتَمَسَّكُ بِهَا أَبَداً مَا أَبْقَانَا وَ نَدَّخِرُهَا لِأَهَاوِيلِ مَا يَلْقَانَا فَإِنَّهَا عَزِيمَةُ الْإِيمَانِ وَ فَاتِحَةُ الْإِحْسَانِ وَ مَرْضَاةُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَ مَدْحَرَةُ الشَّيْطَان‏.

Imam Ali (as):

I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, the One, who has no partner; a testimony whose sincerity has been tested, in whose essence we believe. we shall cling to it as long as we live, and preserve it for the hardships that we are to face; for it is the source of strength in our faith, the first step towards good deeds and Allah’s pleasure, and the means for driving Satan away.

ثلاثٌ مِن علاماتِ المؤمنِ : عِلمُهُ باللّهِ ، و مَن يُحِبُّ ، و مَن يُبْغِضُ .

الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

لا يَجدُ عَبدٌ طعمَ الإيمانِ حتّى يَعلمَ أنَّ ما أصابَهُ لم يكُن لِيُخطِئَهُ ، وََأنَّ ما أخطأهُ لم يكُن ليُصيبَهُ، وََأنَّ الضّارَّ النّافِعَ هوَ اللّهُ عزّ و جلّ .

Imam Ali (as):

A servant will never savour the taste of faith until he knows that that which afflicts him would never have missed him, and that that which has missed him would never have touched him, and that the only One to induce harm and benefit is Allah, Mighty and Exalted.

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

دِينُ اللّهِ اسمُهُ الإسلامُ ، و هو دِينُ اللّهِ قبلَ أنْ تَكونوا حيثُ كُنتُم ، و بَعدَ أنْ تكونوا ، فمَن أقَرَّ بدينِ اللّهِ فهُو مسلِمٌ ، و مَن عَمِلَ بما أمرَ اللّهُ عزّ و جلّ بهِ فهُو مؤمنٌ .

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

God’s religion is Islam and it was God’s religion even before you came into being and after you came into existence, so whoever confesses to God’s religion is a Muslim and whoever acts upon what God Almighty has commanded is a believer.

الإمام محمد الباقر (عليه السَّلام):

أنزِلِ الدنيا كمَنزِلٍ نَزَلتَهُ ثُمّ ارتَحَلتَ عَنهُ ، أو كمالٍ وَجَدتَهُ في مَنامِكَ فاستَيقَظتَ و لَيس مَعكَ مِنهُ شيءٌ ، إنّي (إنّما) ضَرَبتُ لكَ هذا مَثَلاً لأنّها عِندَ أهلِ اللُبِّ و العِلمِ باللّهِ كَفَيْءِ الظِّلالِ .

Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (as):

[Consider] your sojourn in this world just as a house that you stayed in and [soon] departed from, or a property that you found in a dream then you awoke and not a thing from it remained with you. I have given you this parable because this world, according to the people of intellect and knowledge of Allah, is just as the shadow in the shade.
