Pearls from Imam Zaynul Abideen (AS)

The fourth Imam Hazrat Imam Zaynul Abideen (AS) said:

* A Mujahid who is martyred for Allah's cause does not deserve as much reward as a person who chooses not to sin despite having the power to do so. Such a person may even become one of the chaste angels. (Saheefa-e-Sajadia)

* When about something one does not know, one should not be ashamed of having to learn about it.

* Patience is to faith what the head is to the body; one who does not have patience also lacks faith.

* Refrain from lying in all things, big or small, in seriousness or in jest. For when one starts lying in petty matters, soon he will have the audacity to lie in important matters (also).

* A man need not fear Allah except on account of his own sins, and should place his hopes only with his Lord.
