INTRODUCTION
Here The noble prophet (s) statement to abu dharr reminds us about the defect of the world and materialism(worldliness) and in contrast give the good news of the superiority of asceticism and disinclination to the world.

It is something of miracle that the Noble prophet(s) mentions issues of edification of character in one specific field by means of different expressions and various ways,the result of which is that every one benefits from his sayings according to his own understanding and natural capacity,and select the best provisions of edification of charater which suit them

One of the ways the noble prophet(s) has selected is recommending asceticism and encouraging people to undertake it and citing the invaluable effects which result from disinclination to the world


----WISDOM AND FORESIGHT,PRODUCTS OF ASCETICISM--

"O abu dharr! A slave of Allah does not live ascetically save that Allah stabilizes wisdom in his heart and his tongue overflows with it,and makes it aware of the defects,pains and quarrels of the world and lead him to the eternal garden of bliss in a sound state"--Bihar al-anwar

In this statement,the prophet's(s) emphasis is that asceticism and disinclination makes man's heart ready to accept wisdom and after that he percieves truths,,because they are superior over the world and choose the best way after COMPARING IT WITH THE HEREAFTER..

on the other hand those who are obsessed about the world cannot conceive the realities of the world because LOVE OF THE WORLD MAKES MaN HEEDLESS AND NEGLIGENT.because he has been held captive and enslaved by the shackles of worldliness and protracted goal

Asceticism in the world means that man ought not to be inclined to the world; if he has some wealth and certain facilities at his disposal,he thinks about how to use use them for the good pleasure of Allah and is not obsessed with acquisition of possessions..

IN EXPLANATION oF THE SENTENCE,-"Allah stabilizes wisdom in his heart" it is necessary to mention a few points

1-there is a close relationship btw disinclination of the world and perception of Divine Knowledge;that is to say,it is impossible to find a person who in spite of his heart being obsessed with the world,his soul at the same time is overflowing with divine knowledge and awareness

2-Wisdom,which is a product of disinclination to the world,stabilizes man's knowledge and awareness and defends against instability of belief and wavering of the mind.
NOTE--it is possible for man to attain knowledfe and perceive the truth but still have shaky and unstable awareness because he has not attained certitude or certainty,which stabilizes and steadies knowledge in the heart

Among the basic principles of religion,in addition to the fundamental principle of belief,the STability of knowledge also has special value and it is for this reason that seasonal and periodical faith not only has no value,but also has negative consequences and has reproached in various instances in the quran

----so when they ride in the ships they call upon Allah ,being sincerely obedient to Him,but when He brings them safe to the land,lo! They associate others with Him-quran29:65

---to be CONtinued shortly, Allah's willing

jazzakallah khair

3--once wisdom has become steady,it does not remained confined to the heart but its effects become apparent in speech, works and conducts.

The words of a person in who's. Heart wisdom has become stable will also be wise: he abstains from vain and futile talk and counsels in such a philosophical and thoughtful way that his words deserves praise and extolment

For The tongue is passage from man's heart and,in other words, the exudation of a man's heart are carried out on the tongue because it is the 00zing external part of the jar which is inside him.of course this oozing out not only appears on the tongue but with the rest of man's conduct

The other effect of aversion of the world is that the defects of the world become apparent to man;that is to say,man can witness the deficiencies,lowliness and inferiority of the world in the case that he liberates himself from attachment to it,

Cause otherwise it is not expected of a lover of the world to see the defects of their beloved darling(the world),because infatuation with the world blind's man's inner eyes from seeing its defects and deafens his ears from it deficiencies,on the contrary he perceives as beautiful its vileness and supposes his discreditable. Conducts which has appeared as a result of excessive fondness with the world to be fair

--as expressed in the glorious koran

---your souls have made the matter light for you--12:18

--and satan has made their deeds fair-seeming to them--27:24

In contrast to these groups of people who only see the beautiful appearance and fair-seeming lines and spots from this venomous snake,,the other groups also perceive its deadly poison and fatal fangs

"The example of the world is like a serpent,it is soft to the touch but its inside is full of venom,an ignorant person who has fallen into deceit is attracted towards it but a wise and intelligent man keeps on his guard against it--imam ali--nahj al-balaghah

"The lovers of Allah are those who look at the inward side of the world while the other people look at its outward side,they busy themselves with the remoter benefits while the other people busy themselves with the immediate benefits.therefore they KILLEIN THEIR HEART THOSE THINGS WHICH THEY FEARED WOULD HAVE KILLED THEM AND LEAVE HERE IN THIS WORLD WHAT THEY THINK WOULD LEAVE THEM--imam ali--nahj al-balaghah
