Carnal desire (animal lust or physical need)

 Al-Furqan (The Criterion) 25:43

أَرَأَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ إِلَهَهُ هَوَاهُ أَفَأَنتَ تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ وَكِيلًا
Have you ever considered the case of him who has taken his carnal desire (animal lust or physical need) for his god? Can you take responsibility for guiding him to the Right Way?
 
Al-Jathiya (The Kneeling) 45:23
أَفَرَأَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ إِلَهَهُ هَوَاهُ وَأَضَلَّهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى عِلْمٍ وَخَتَمَ عَلَى سَمْعِهِ وَقَلْبِهِ وَجَعَلَ عَلَى بَصَرِهِ غِشَاوَةً فَمَن يَهْدِيهِ مِن بَعْدِ اللَّهِ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Have you seen he who has taken as his god his [own] desire, and Allah has sent him astray due to knowledge and has set a seal upon his hearing and his heart and put over his vision a veil? So, who will guide him after Allah? Then will you not be reminded?

At-Tauba (The Repentance) 9:19
أَجَعَلْتُمْ سِقَايَةَ الْحَاجِّ وَعِمَارَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ كَمَنْ آمَنَ بِاللّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ وَجَاهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ لاَ يَسْتَوُونَ عِندَ اللّهِ وَاللّهُ لاَ يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ
Have you made the providing of water for the pilgrim and the maintenance of al-Masjid al-Haram equal to [the deeds of] one who believes in Allah and the Last Day and strives in the cause of Allah? They are not equal in the sight of Allah . And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

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."
