خَطَرُ الهَوى The Danger of Desire 1ـ فيما وَعَظَ اللّه‏ُ تعالى بهِ عيسى (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): ياعيسى، لاتَستَيقِظَنَّ عاصِياً ولا تَستَنبِهَنَّ لاهِياً، وافطِمْ نَفسَكَ عَنِ الشَّهَواتِ المُوبِقاتِ، وكُلُّ شَهوَةٍ تُباعِدُكَ مِنّي فاهجُرْها. 1– It is narrated in al-Kafi: From what Allah advised Jesus (AS): 'O Jesus, do not wake up disobedient and do not regain consciousness [engaged] in amusement. Wean yourself from destructive desires, and abandon every passion that distances you from Me.'[al-Kafi, v. 8, p. 136, no. 103]   2ـ رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): إنّما سُمِّيَ الهَوى لأ نّهُ يَهوي بصاحِبِهِ . 2– The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'Desires (hawa) have been called thus because they overthrow (yahwi) the one who possesses them.'[Sunan al-DArimI, p. 407]   3ـ رسولُ اللهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): إنّ إبليسَ قالَ: أهلَكتُهُم بِالذُّنوبِ فأهلَكوني بالاستِغفارِ، فلَمّا رأيتُ ذلكَ أهلَكتُهُم بالأهواءِ فهُم يَحسَبونَ أ نّهُم مُهتَدونَ فلا يَستَغفِرونَ. 3– The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'Satan said, 'I have destroyed them with sins and they have destroyed me with their repentance, so when I saw this, I destroyed them with their own desire, so they think that they are guided and they do not seek forgiveness.'[al-TarghIb wa al-TarhIb, v. 1, p. 87, no. 13]   4ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنّما بَدءُ وُقوعِ الفِتَنِ أهواءٌ تُتَّبَعُ، وأحكامٌ تُبتَدَعُ .... 4– Imam Ali (AS) said, 'The onset of calamities is when desires are followed, laws are innovated…'[Nahj al-Balagha, Sermon 50]   5ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ لمّا سُئلَ عن أغلَبِ السَّلاطِينِ وأقواها قالَ ـ: الهَوى. 5– Imam Ali (AS), when asked about the most conquering and strongest of rulers, said, 'The desire.'[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 70, p. 76, no. 6]   6ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنّ الجَنّةَ حُفَّت بِالمَكارِهِ، وإنّ النّارَ حُفَّت (حُجِبَت) بِالشَّهَواتِ. 6– Imam Ali (AS) said, 'Heaven is encircled by bad deeds and Hell is encircled with desires.'[Nahj al-Balagha, Sermon 176]   7ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): اللَّذّةُ تُلهي. 7– Imam Ali (AS) said, 'Pleasure deters.'[Ghurar al-Hikam, no. 27]   8ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): قَلَّ مَن غَرِيَ بِاللَّذّاتِ إلّا كانَ بِها هَلاكُهُ. 8– Imam Ali (AS) said, 'It is seldom that he who is seduced by pleasures is not destroyed by them.'[Ghurar al-Hikam, no. 6813]   9ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): مَن تَلَذَّذَ بِمَعاصي اللّه‏ِ أورَثَهُ اللّه‏ُ ذُلاًّ. 9– Imam Ali (AS) said, 'He who takes pleasure in acts of disobedience to Allah, Allah will strike him with humiliation.'[Ghurar al-Hikam, no. 8823]

The one who love Imam e zaman(a.t.f.s) must be prepared to struggle and
labour his self, his pen and his wealth in the way of Imam e
zaman(a.t.f.s)
I remember the words of Imam (a.s), that we are responsible for the
duty, and not for the result. A warm smile washes away the tension of
confusion, as I thank Allah for the presence of my friend, whom Allah
may protect, and guide
IMAM E ZAMANA (a.f.t.s) Bless you And All Your Family those help others
and learn islam.
