And if you see that the Muslims hold you as an honourable person then think that it is because of their goodness that they do so.’ Then he -asws said: ‘This is commendable and if you see that they hold you in contempt, then think that this is due to your own bad actions that they do so.
If you were to act upon what I have told you then Allah -azwj will make your life easier for you and you will have many friends and your enemies will be very few and you will be happy and not worried and distressed about their actions.
And know that the honourable one among the people’s eyes is that who is good to them and is not a ask them any favours (in return), and the more honourable, after this one, in their eyes will be the one who does not burden them with his requests although he is in need of them, as the people of the world are in love with their wealth, and whoever does not affect their loved entity (wealth) is honoured by them and one who increases their wealth through his own means, little or more, will be the most honourable to them.’ [2] Preparation for the Hereafter [3] : قَالَ الْإِمَامُ ع (مالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ) أَيْ قَادِرٌ عَلَى إِقَامَةِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ، وَ هُوَ يَوْمُ الْحِسَابِ، قَادِرٌ عَلَى تَقْدِيمِهِ عَلَى وَقْتِهِ، وَ تَأْخِيرِهِ بَعْدَ وَقْتِهِ، وَ هُوَ الْمَالِكُ أَيْضاً فِي يَوْمِ الدِّينِ، فَهُوَ يَقْضِي بِالْحَقِ، لَا يَمْلِكُ الْحُكْمَ وَ الْقَضَاءَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ مَنْ يَظْلِمُ وَ يَجُورُ، كَمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مَنْ يَمْلِكُ الْأَحْكَامَ.
The Imam (Hassan Al-Askari -asws ) said: Master of the Day of Reckoning [1:4] – ‘Yes, He -azwj is so Powerful to establish the ‘ Yawm Al-Deen ’, and this is the Day of Reckoning, and He -azwj is so Powerful to Bring it forward or Move it back from its pre-Determined time, and He -azwj is the Master as well during that Day and will be Judging with the Truth.
There will be no authority on that Day for those who used to be unjust and oppressors in the world from among the rulers, to issue orders like they used to issue in the world. قَالَ: وَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع: (يَوْمِ الدِّينِ) هُوَ يَوْمُ الْحِسَابِ. He -asws said: ‘And Amir Al-Momineen -asws said: ‘(The phrase) ‘Yawm Al-Deen’ – it is the Day of Reckoning’.
