Najafi Q&A: Exhortation and Advice

Answer

In the name of Allah, trust in Allah, apply the Sharia to your actions, words, and thoughts. If you experience such feelings while not in prayer, say, my daughter ,"La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah" (There is no power nor strength except with Allah). If you are in prayer, you should avoid uttering it aloud and suffice with the intention only. Allah is the Grantor of success.

Answer

In the name of Allah, the wife should obey her husband in all permissible acts, and she must avoid haram (forbidden) acts, including leaving the house without his permission, even for a single step, as it is considered a major sin. If she does this, even if it involves hardship, she will be among those who strive in the way of Allah on the Day of Judgment. She must surround the children with affection and care, and teach them the religion both in words and actions. When it is time for prayer, she should prepare her children, especially the daughters, for purification and prayer. As for the husband, he must, to the best of his ability, provide food, drink, and clothing for his wife and children and maintain good manners. The husband should understand that he can achieve what he desires from his wife through good behavior, and the same applies to the wife. The wife should also pay attention to avoid anything in her appearance and attire that might repel her husband. Allah knows best.

Answer

In the name of Allah, be advised, my son, that Islam is a system through which one understands what actions should be taken to connect with the Creator, the Benevolent Bestower of existence and all blessings. Moreover, religion determines the ways of social relations with your relatives, whether they are close or distant. It also clarifies how to interact with other Muslims and non-Muslims. Thus, do not underestimate the significance of religion in any aspect of life. Similarly, the trials a person faces beyond this life will be determined by their faith. Allah is the Guide.

Answer

In the name of Allah, be informed, my son, that hypocrisy is hiding infidelity and showing Islam. It is a major sin and there might not be a bigger sin than this. That is why Allah Almighty says "Indeed, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of Hell." Misfortunes have not befallen any prophet or his followers like the misfortunes that the righteous servants of Allah are afflicted with from the hypocrites. It is because of that some narrations have been mentioned Abalfazl Al-Abbas (PBUH) described those who wanted to kill his master (PBUH) as hypocrites. There is no power, but from Allah. The rest of the doctrinal and other sins, apart from hypocrisy, are less bad and ugly, such as clear infidelity, clear polytheism, and crimes committed by the sinner with his organs, provided that he is not a hypocrite. Allah knows best.
