1. IMPORTANCE OF HUMILITY
It is very important for a person who wants to attain
closeness in the Court of Allah and His Rasool to be
humble and sincere.
We should never have pride over our knowledge, our
wealth and our family status. If a man humbles himself in
the Court of Allah, then Allah causes the servants to be
humbled before him.
Once Hazrat Jafar Saadiq called all his servants and said,
“Let us give our hands in the hands of one another and
promise, that whichever one of us first receives salvation
on the day of Qiyaamah, he will intercede for the rest of
us.”
On hearing this, they said,
“O Ibn Rasool ! For what reason do you need our
intercession, when your beloved forefather Rasoolullah
will intercede for the entire creation?”
He then said, “I am ashamed to stand with my deeds
before my forefather the Holy Prophet on the day of
Reckoning” {Masaalikus Saalikeen}
2. Allahu Akbar! Hazrat Imam Jafar Saadiq is such a pious
and Allah Fearing personality, but he still humbled himself,
even in the presence of his servants.
He taught us that we should not have pried on our deeds
and actions, but we should remain humble servants of
Allah.
