Kada predajem studentima i đacima koji se obučavaju za učitelje, često me šokira koliko su ti momci i djevojke, čije su glave pune beskorisnog znanja, zapravo nezreli. Puno toga znaju, u dijalektici su sjajni i ležerno citiraju klasike - ali po životnim su pogledima mnogi od njih poput male djece. Jer učili su ih znati, ali im nisu dopuštali osjećati. Ti su studenti prijateljski nastrojene, ugodne i revne osobe, ali im nešto nedostaje - emocionalni činilac, sposobnost da se razmišljanje podčini osjećajima. Govorim im o svijetu koji su previdjeli i koji i dalje previđaju. Njihovi se udžbenici ne bave ljudskim karakterom, ne govore o ljubavi, slobodi ih samoodređenju. I tako se sustav održava na životu ravnajući se samo prema mjerilima knjiške učenosti - i nastavlja razdvajati glavu od srca.

Once we understand Maula Ali a.s well, we don't need to understand anyone else

Love and the Eyes A believer may come to know the reality of another person either through his or her face, or through his or her words. God says: And if We wish, We could show them to you, then you would recognise them by their mark. And you will certainly recognise them by [their] tone of speech, and God knows your deeds. (Muhammad, 47:30) And the Messenger of God (s.a.w.) said: ‘Beware the insight of the believer, for he [or she] sees by the light of God.’ [148] This is generally the case with the believers, but there is something special—a great mystery—about a person’s eyes which may: (1) express love; or (2) engender love in the beholder himself or herself [149] , or (3) engender love in the one who looks into their eyes. In other words, love may: (1) be seen by others in a person’s eyes; (2) ‘enter’ a person through his or her eyes into his or her soul and heart as they look at someone else, or (3) cause another person to love them as a result of a meeting of the eyes—of ‘eye-contact’. God alludes to all of this with His words: He knows the treachery of the eyes and what the breasts hide. (Ghafir, 40:19) Thus the eyes betray love in the soul and heart, and make it plain to see; and the eyes can also cause love to grow, when there is prolonged eye-contact. This allows us to understand the two Hadiths: Ibn Mas’ud and Hudhayfah both reported that the Messenger of God (s.a.w.) said: ‘The glance of the eye is a poison dart fired by Iblis [the Devil]; whosoever leaves it through fear of Me, I shall replace it for him with a faith whose sweetness he shall experience in his heart.’ [150] And ‘Ali bin Abi Talib (a.s.) reported that the Messenger of God (s.a.w.) said: ‘O ‘Ali, do not follow one glance with another, for you are permitted the first one but not the second.’ [151] Conversely, when Mughirah ibn Shu’bah wanted to ask for a woman’s hand in marriage, the Messenger of God (s.a.w.) said to him: ‘Look upon her, for it is more likely that you will bond with each other.’ [152] This explains the importance of lowering one’s gaze [153] , which God commands the believers to do, with His words: Tell believing men to lower their gaze and to guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Truly God is Aware of what they do. / And tell believing women to lower their gaze and to guard their private parts, and not to display their adornment except for what is apparent, and let them draw their veils over their bosoms and not reveal their adornment, except to their husbands or their fathers, or their husbands’ fathers, or their sons, or their husbands’ sons, or their brothers, or their brothers’ sons, or their sisters’ sons, or their women, or what their right hands own, or such men who are dependant, not possessing any sexual desire, or children who are not yet aware of women’s private parts. And do not let them thump with their feet to make known their hidden ornaments. And rally to God in repentance, O believers, so that you might be successful. (Al-Nur, 24:30-31) Similarly, God warns His Messenger (s.a.w.) as follows: And do not extend your glance toward what We have given to some pairs among them to enjoy, [as] the flower of the life of this world that We may try them thereby.

DOBROČINSTVO, dobra je puno, ali je malo onih koji ga čine. Allah dž.š. najviše voli dobročinitelje. Oni će na Sudnjem Danu podijeliti svoja dobra djela i tako biti dobročinitelji na Ahiretu. Od 1KM, Allah dž.š. može dati 700KM kome hoće. Ne treba samo sumnjati jer šejtan plaši siromaštvom zato što on ništa nema, pa voli da i drugi nemaju. Škrtica neće u Džennet. Džahil koji je darežljiv, draži je Allahu dž.š. od škrtice pobožnjaka. Blago onome ko ima i hoće odakle da dijeli. Dijelimo dok smo živi, i ne očekujmo da nas spašavaju hodže i naši nasljednici. Svaka vrsta zikra je sadaka i lijepa riječ je sadaka. Ali zaista najteže je kada treba nešto podijeliti. Allah je neke ljude odredio da pomažu ljudima, i da im se ljudi obraćaju sa svojim potrebama. Ti su ljudi sigurni od Allahove kazne, jer su bdjeli nad pravima Njegovih stvorenja. Šejtan se najviše nalazi u glavama besposličara. Poslanik a.s. se najviše bojao debelih stomaka, besposličara i spavača. Škrti ljudi i neradnici su mrtvi i prije smrti. Zato požurimo sa dobrim djelima dok možemo raditi, jer Poslanik a.s. poručuje: Požurite sa dobrim djelima da preteknete 7 stvari: zar očekujete išta drugo osim velikog siromaštva, zabludjujučeg bogatstva, smrtne bolesti, velike starosti, iznenadne smrti, prokletog dedžala ili Kijametskog dana".
