Contents The Remembrance of God Humility and the Etiquette of Prayer An Advice to Rulers On Lying and Hypocrisy The Remembrance of God Imam Rida, Peace be upon him, said: Engraved on the ring of Jesus, Peace be upon him, were two sentences from the Gospel: ‘Blessed is the servant who remembers God for His sake, and woe unto the servant who forgets God for his own sake (1). God, the Great and Almighty, said to Jesus (‘a): O Jesus!

📌Remember Me within yourself and I will remember you within Myself, and remember Me publicly and I will remember you publicly in a public better than that of men. O Jesus! Soften your heart for Me and remember Me much in solitude, and know that My pleasure is in your fawning over Me, in an animated and not in an impassive manner (2). Humility and the Etiquette of Prayer Among things that were revealed by God to Jesus is: Do not call upon Me except by praying humbly to Me and with all your heart.

Then verily when you call upon Me thus I will answer you. (3) God revealed to Jesus (‘a): O Jesus!

What is the matter, that I see you sitting in the dust in worn garments?’ He said: ‘O Ja’far!

We find in that which was revealed to Jesus (‘a): Verily, it is God’s due from His servants that they show humility when they are shown favour.
