"The greatest right which is on you is from Allah Himself and this is the root of all other rights , The greatest right of Allah on you is to worship Him without associating anything with Him. If you do that with purity of heart, He promises to give you sufficiently what you need here and in the next world".

-Imam Ali Ibn al-Hussain,as-Sajjad (as),the fourth Imam.

Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (as) once said to one of his companions: "O Jabir it is not enough that a person says; I am a Shia and I love the Prophet (sa) and the Prophet's family and the Imams. By Allah, a Shia is the one who is perfectly pious and obedient to Allah's commands. Anyone else is not a Shia no matter how much they say they love Imam Ali (as) and no matter what they call themselves. O Jabir Our Shias are known by these signs: (a) They are truthful, trustworthy and loyal; (b) They always remember Allah; (c) They offer their prayers, observe fasts, and recite Qur'an; (d) They help their neighbors, take care of orphans, and say nothing but good of people; (e) They act nicely towards their parents; (f) They are worthy of peoples trust and confidence.

-Imam Muhammad Ibn Ali,al-Baqer (as),the fifth Imam.

"No one can describe Allah with attributes other than those with which He describes Himself. How can anyone describe Him when senses are too short to perceive Him, illusions are too short to comprehend Him, ideas are too short to mark Him, and sights are too short to appreciate Him? He is remote in His nearness and near in His remoteness. He created the how without being asked "How?" and founded the where without being asked "where?" He is out of how and where. He is the One and Only. Exalted be His Majesty and sacred be His Names".

-Imam Ali Ibn Muhammad,al-Hadi (as),the tenth Imam.

"An age will approach when the people’s faces would be laughing (exalting) & their hearts would be dark , bleak & dirty . The sunnah to them would be innovation & heresy & innovation would be (considered) sunnah among them. The faithful would be belittled & debased among them , & the transgressor would be honorable & respectful among them. Their lords & chiefs would be ignorant & aggressive ones. And the religious scholars would be on the threshold of the aggressors & tyrants".

-Imam Hassan Ibn Ali,al-Askari (as),the eleventh Imam.

“When Allah permits us (i.e. the Ahlul-Bayt) to speak, truth will prevail and falsehood will vanish”.

“If man perceived his death and its speed towards him, he would certainly detest the world and its hopes.”

-Imam Ali (as)

"A free man remains free under all circumstances. He will be patient if he suffers from a calamity. He will not break down if he is stormed with catastrophes, even if he is captured in war, or is hurt and his comfort turns into hardship. An example is the Prophet Joseph (a.s), who was deported, imprisoned and hurt, but his freedom was not affected in the least bit. The darkness of the well (in which he was left by his brothers), and whatever else that happened to him did not hurt him at all. Then God honored him and turned the tables around. He made the oppressor who ruled over him his servant. He (Allah) appointed Joseph to be His Prophet, and brought His Mercy upon a nation through him.This is an example of practicing the art of patience well. You should be patient, too. You will be victorious. Remain patient until you get divine rewards."


-Imam Ja'far Ibn Muhammad,as-Sadeq (as),the sixth holy Imam from the progeny of Prophet Muhammad (sawaws).

"If you scold a child, then leave him room to turn away from his wrong action, so that you do not leave him with obstinacy as his only way out".

Holy Prophet Muhammad [sa] said:

"O Fatimah! Every eye shall be weeping on the Day of Judgment except the eye which has shed tears over the tragedy of Husain [as] for surely, that eye shall be laughing and shall be given the glad tidings of the bounties and comforts of Paradise."
Bihar al-Anwar, Volume 44 page 193


Imam 'Ali Ibn al-Husain (as),Zaynul-Abidin (the fourth holy Imam) said: "Every Mu'min (believer), whose eyes shed tears upon the killing of Husain Ibn' Ali (A.S.) and his companions, such that the tears roll down his cheeks, Allah shall accommodate him in the elevated rooms of paradise".
(Yannaabe' al-Mawaddah, pg.: 429.)

no matter how you make your false creed attractive you will not prosper in spreading this falsehood, REPENT NOW!

the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family),Muhammad Ibn Abdullah (sa) said:

"I am leaving among you that which if you hold onto you will never go astray after me. One of them is greater than the other. It is the Book of Allah, a rope stretching from the heaven to the earth. The other is my itrah (progeny), my Ahlul-Bayt. The two will never be separated until they reach me at the Pond. Watch closely how you treat them both after me".

Sunan al-Tirmidhi 5/663 No. 3788;Sahih Muslim, 031:5920

Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib (as),the first holy Imam,said:

"I have never argued with an ignorant fool and won; nor have I argued with a
rational person and lost".

"O people know that the maturity in religion lies in the pursuit of knowledge and putting it into practice. Indeed! The pursuit of knowledge is more incumbent upon you than endeavor for livelihood; for, your livelihood has been apportioned and guaranteed by Allah the Just One and will be provided to you. Knowledge is stored with its possessors and you have been commanded to acquire it from them."

ok I am ready to learn, are you the knowledgeable one? may Allah forgive you for all the fabricated narrations you attribue to the prophet Muhammad and Ali.

" Do not fall into despair over wrong action, when the door of turning to Him in repentance is always open".

"Every statement in which God is not mentioned is a vanity. Every silence in which there is no thought of Him is carelessness. Every reflection in which there is no consideration of Him is an idle pastime".

"The one who is prudent is the one who has control over his passions".

"Prefer to be one who is overcome while being just, rather than one who triumphs while being unjust".

"If you hear words that hurt you, then bow your head before them and they will miss you".

"The value of each person lies in the good he does".

"Beware of being lazy, for surely whoever is lazy is not fulfilling the duty he owes to God".

"True worship is not to pray and to fast excessively, rather true worship is to ponder on God, the Most High".

"Tears only dry up and fail to flow as a result of hard-heartedness and the hearts only harden as a result of an abundance of sins".

"I am amazed at the one who settles down in the abode that passes away, and ignores the abode that lasts for ever".


-Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib (as)

"People often hate those things which they do not know or cannot understand."

-Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib (as)

"Behold! The similitude of my Ahlul-Bayt (as)is like the Ark of Noah:The one who embarks on it will save himself, and the one who turns away from it is doomed"

-Prophet of Allah (swt),Muhammad (sa).

"As the stars protect mankind from losing the way in a journey,so are my Ahlul-Bayt (as).They are the safeguard against discord in matters of religion.The community dissenting from their teachings on Divine Commands shall be split up by dissensions and become the party of Satan"-Prophet Muhammad (sawaws).
