Reading one book consciously can save your 5 years

Reading one book consciously can save your 5 years

The idea that "reading one book consciously can save you 5 years" is a metaphorical statement suggesting that a single well-chosen and thoughtful book can provide valuable knowledge and insights that might take years to gain through personal experience or less focused learning.

Here are a few ways to interpret this statement:

1) Condensed Knowledge: Books often distill the knowledge and experiences of experts into a concentrated form. By reading a well-researched and comprehensive book on a specific topic, you can gain insights and information that might have taken someone else years to accumulate and understand.

2) Learning from Others' Experiences: Books, especially non-fiction and biographical works, allow readers to learn from the experiences and wisdom of others. Instead of going through the trial and error of real-life situations, you can benefit from the lessons and perspectives shared in a book.

3) Focused Learning: Consciously reading a book implies an active and engaged approach to learning. By focusing your attention on a single book and absorbing its contents deeply, you can acquire knowledge more efficiently than if you were to passively gather information over an extended period.

4) Shortcut to Expertise: For certain subjects, reading a well-regarded book can provide a faster route to gaining expertise compared to self-learning or informal experiences. This is particularly true in fields where theoretical knowledge is foundational.

It's important to note that the statement is metaphorical and doesn't imply that reading replaces all forms of experiential learning. While books can be powerful tools for education and personal development, real-world experiences, practical application, and critical thinking are also integral parts of a holistic learning process.

The key lies in the quality of the book, the relevance of its content to your goals, and your ability to consciously engage with and apply the knowledge gained from reading.

One Muslim has seven rights over other Muslims

One Muslim has seven rights over other Muslims Imam Jafar Sadiq (A.S) said, "One Muslim has seven rights over other Muslims. If one of these rights is not honored, then a person might be excluded from the roster of Allah's friends.  1) The smallest right of a Muslim over his compatriots is that whatever one wishes for himself, he should wish the same for his brethren. Similarly, whatever he dislikes happening to him, he should want not to happen to his brothers in Islam. 2) The second right is: that a Muslim should avoid displeasing another Muslim.  3) The Third right consists in that a Muslim should help another both physically and monetarily to the extent possible.  4) The fourth right of a Muslim is that he must guide other Muslims to the best of his abilities.  5) The fifth right is that if a Muslim is hungry, the other should share his food with him.  6) The sixth right is that if one has a servant and the other doesn't, then the servant should be sent to t...

Imam Hassan Askari AS, Gurg Aashti, Poisoned Society

Imam al-`Aaskari (AS), in his description of evil scholars, said, 'They cause more harm to the weak ones from among our shi`aa than the army of Yazid did to Husayn b. Ali (AS) and his companions, for they snatched away (grab, seize, steal) their lives and their property, whereas these evil scholars … enter doubt and obscurity (ambiguity) into the weak ones from among our shi`aa and lead them astray (wandering).' http://islamicblessings.com/upload/Meezan%20ul%20Hikmah%20-English.pdf Gurg Aashti - Brotherhood of the Wolf https://ub4yourself.blogspot.com/2021/11/qasim-ali-shah-foundation-is-character.html Poisoned Society https://ub4yourself.blogspot.com/2022/10/poisoned-society.html

Speech is better than Silence

When Imam Zayn al-‘Abidin (as) was asked which one was better: speech or silence, he answered:  "Both speech and silence have their harmful aspects. If both are free from harm, then speech is more excellent than silence”. It was said: “How is that, O son of the Messenger of Allah”? Imam as-Sajjad (as) answered: "Because Allah did not send His Prophets and (their) trustees with silence, but sent them with speech. Paradise is not deserved through silence, nor is God’s guardianship merited through silence, nor is the Fire guarded against through silence. All this is possible only through speech. I do not place the sun on a level equal to the moon. You describe the excellence of silence through speech; you do not describe the excellence of speech through silence."
