💢Imam Ali's Letter to Malik Al_Ashtar 🔰 #Part_1 ✨Be it known to you, O, #Malik, that I am sending you as #Governor to a country which in the past has experienced both just and unjust rule. Men will scrutinize your actions with a searching eye, even as you…
💢Imam Ali's Letter to Malik Al_Ashtar
🔰 #Part_2
✨Do not set yourself against #God, for neither do you possess the strength to shield yourself against His displeasure, nor can you place yourself outside the pale of His mercy and forgiveness.
✨Do not feel sorry over any act of #forgiveness, nor rejoice over any punishment that you may mete out to any one.
✨Do not rouse yourself to #anger, for no good will come out of it.
✨Do not say: “I am your overlord and dictator, and that you should, therefore, bow to my commands”, as that will corrupt your #heart, weaken your #faith in religion and create disorder in the state. Should you be elated by power, ever feel in your mind the slightest symptoms of pride and arrogance, then look at the power and majesty of the Divine governance of the #Universe over which you have absolutely no control.
It will restore the sense of balance to your wayward intelligence and give you the sense of calmness and affability.
Beware! Never put yourself against the majesty and grandeur of God and never imitate His omnipotence; for God has brought low every rebel of God and every tyrant of man.
✨Let your mind respect through your actions the #rights of God and the #rights of man, and likewise, persuade your companions and relations to do likewise. For, otherwise, you will be doing injustice to yourself and injustice to humanity. Thus both man and God will turn unto your enemies. There is no hearing anywhere for one who makes an enemy of God himself. He will be regarded as one at war with God until he feels contrition and seeks forgiveness. Nothing deprives man of divine blessings or excites divine wrath against him more easily than cruelty. Hence it is, that God listens to the voice of the oppressed and waylays the oppressor.

#Part_16
The Poor
✨Beware! Fear God when dealing with the #problem of the poor who have none to patronize them, who are forlorn, indigent, #helpless and are greatly torn in mind – victims of the vicissitudes of time. Among them are some who do not question their lot in #life and who, notwithstanding their misery, do not go about seeing alms.
✨For God’s sake, safeguard their #rights , for on you rests the responsibility of protecting their interests.
✨Assign for their uplift a portion of the state exchequer (Bayt al-Mal), wherever they may be, whether close at hand or far away from you. The rights of the two should be #equal in your eye. Do not let any preoccupation slip them from your mind, for no excuse whatsoever for the disregard of their rights will be acceptable to God.
✨Do not treat their interests as of less importance than your own, and never keep them outside the purview of your important considerations, and mark the persons who look down upon them and of whose conditions they keep you in #ignorance .
✨Select from among your officers such men as are meek and God fearing who can keep you properly informed of the condition of the poor. Make such provision for these #poor #people as shall not oblige you to offer an excuse before God on the Day of #Judgment for, it is this section of the people which, more than any other, deserves benevolent treatment.
✨Seek your reward from #God by giving to each of them what is due to him and enjoin on yourself as a sacred #duty the task of meeting the needs of such aged among them as have no independent means of livelihood and are averse to seek alms. The discharge of this duty is what usually proves very trying to rulers, but is very welcome to societies which are gifted with foresight. It is only such societies or nations who truly carry out with equanimity their covenant with God to discharge their duty to the poor.

⬅️ #Repentance_Journey ↯↯
💠🔹It is narrated that one day, the Prophet, peace be upon him and his family, turned to his companions and said:
"People! Who among you seeks repentance?"
Everyone replied, "O Messenger of Allah! We all seek repentance."
💠🔹The Prophet said:
◽️Perform ablution and pray four units of prayer, two by two.
🔹In each unit, recite "Al-Hamd" once,
🔹Say "Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad" three times,
🔹Recite "Qul A'udhu birabbil-falaq" once,
🔹And recite "Qul A'udhu birabbin-nas" once.
🔸After completing the prayer, seek forgiveness seventy times,
🔸Concluding with the statement:
"La hawla wala quwwata illa billahil 'aliyyil 'azim"
(There is no power nor strength except through Allah, the Exalted and Mighty).
🔸Then say:
"Ya Azizu, Ya Ghaffaru, ighfirli dhunubi wa dhunuuba jamee'al-mu'minina wal-mu'minat, fa innahu la yaghfiru adh-dhunuba illa anta."
(O Mighty One, O Forgiving One, forgive my sins and the sins of all believing men and women, for none forgives sins except You.)
In conclusion, add:
"These were taught to me by Gabriel on the night of the Ascension."
📗 Al-Muraqabat, Mirza Javad Agha Maliki Tabrizi
⬅️ #Reminder_Alert ⇩⇩⇩
It is essential to remember that forgiveness of sins specifically refers to #Rights_of_Allah. To seek forgiveness for #Rights_of_Others, one must first obtain the consent of the rightful party.
