✨Keep an eye on your establishment and on your scribes, select the #best among them for your confidential correspondence such among these, as possess #high character and deserve your full #confidence, men who may not exploit their privileged position to go against you, who may not grow neglectful of their duties, who in the drafting of treaties may not succumb to external #temptation and harm your #interests, or fail to render you proper assistance and to save you from trouble, who in carrying out their duties can realize their serious responsibilities, for he who does not realize his own responsibilities can hardly appraise the responsibilities of others.
✨Do not select #men for such work merely on the strength of your first impressions of your affection or good #faith , for as a matter of fact, the pretensions of a good many who are really devoid of #honesty and #good breeding, may cheat even the intelligence of rulers. Selection should be made after due probation, which should be the test of righteousness.
✨In making direct appointments from people, see to it that those selected possess influence with the #people and who #enjoy the reputation of being honest, for such selection is agreeable to #God and the ruler. For every department of administration, let there be a head, whom no trying task might cause worry and no pressure of #work annoy.
✨Remember, every weakness of any one among your establishment and scribes, which you may overlook, will be written down against you in your scroll of deeds.

🔻Why does God test us?
🔻Human beings have two kinds of interests: an interest in becoming good and an interest in becoming bad.
👉🏼 Destiny (11)
🔸Why does Almighty God test us? Because we have been created #human beings, who are creatures who can produce added value. Some imagine God wanted to create good, #obedient creatures! The angels had this same idea. When God wanted to create human beings they said, “Will you set in it someone who will cause corruption in it and shed blood while we celebrate Your praise and proclaim Your sanctity?” [Qur’an 2:30] But God wanted to create a being who produces added value and becomes good.
🔸Someone asked #ImamSadiq (pbuh), “Why didn’t God create His servants in such a way that they would all be obedient and monotheists?” He replied, “If God created people obedient, reward and punishment would have been meaningless. God created His servants in a way that they do something themselves to deserve reward or punishment.” [Al-Ihtijaj, Tabarsi, vol. 2, p. 340]
🔸To produce added value, people must have two kinds of #interests: an interest in becoming good and an interest in becoming bad.
If you only had one kind of interest, #testing and having a free will was meaningless. You would definitely choose that one interest.If you had two interests, one stronger and one weaker, you would always choose the stronger interest. If you had two equal interests, you couldn’t choose and would be in a dilemma.
🔸God designed our interests very beautifully and wisely.
He made one interest stronger and more valuable, but concealed. And the weaker, less valuable interest is manifested.
God has created this surprising balance so that people can choose.
🔸When you satisfy your divine, stronger, more valuable interests you truly enjoy more. But these interests are more concealed. If their true value were easily seen, you would go toward them from the beginning like angels.
On the other hand, the weaker, less worthy worldly interests, are more easily seen, experienced and appear stronger.
🔸With this design, God has given people the opportunity to make a valuable choice.
