The one who is keen & eager for Heaven steps aside the passionate temptations & the one who has the fear of hell fire abstains & refrains from the fobidden deeds & the one who has asceticism in the world takes the calamities & anguishes (of life) easy & the person who is looking forward to & waiting for death makes haste & hurry towards the good deeds. And Jehad (holy war) is based upon four branches. 1. The ordering of good deeds. Stopping from the bad deeds.

& truthfulness on the battle front of struggle & combat. 4. & the enemity with trangressors. So, the one who orders the good deeds strengthens the backs of faithfulls. And the one who stops people from bad deeds has rubbed the noses of the infidels upon dust (belittled & weakened them). And the one who truth fully stands up in the battle field has discharged an obligatory practice.

And the one who gets enraged & furious with the transgressors & gets angry for Allah, Allah too becomes enraged & angry for his sake & will please him on the resurrection day. (NEHJUL BALAGHA LE SABEEH AL SALEH QISAR UL HIKAM 31. P 473) So indeed, Jehad (holywar) is a door out of the doors of Heaven. Allah has opened it upon His special friends (saints).

And that (Jehad) is the dress of piety & the firm & securing armoured Jacket of Allah & His dependable shield & the one who abondons it because of being uninclined to it, Allah makes him put on the dress of humility.

(NEHJUL BALAGHA LE SABEEH AL SALEH, sennan, 27, P 69) 7- اِنَّما بَدءُ وُقُوع الفِتَنِ اَهواءُ تُّتَبَعُ وَاَحکامٌ تُبتَدَعُ يُخالَفُ فِيها کِتابُ اللهِ وَيَتَوَلّی عَلَيها رِجالٌ رِجالاً عَلی غَيرِ دينِ اللهِ فَلَو اَنَّ الباطِلِ خَلَصَ مِن مِزاجِ الحَقَّ لَم يَخفَ عَلی مُرتادِيَن، وَلَو اَنَّ الحَقَّ خَلَصَ مِن لَبسِ الباطِلِ انقَطَعَت عَنهُ السُنُ المُعانِدينَ، وَلکِن يُؤخَذُ مِن هَذا ضِغثٌ وَمِن هَذا ضِغثُ فَيُمزَجانِ فُهُنالِکَ يَستَوليَ الشَّيطانُ عَلی اَوليائِهِ وَيَنجُو الَّذِينَ سَبَقَت لَهُم مِنَ اللهِ الحُسنی.

(نهج البلاغة لصبحي الصالح، الخطبة50، ص88) 8- اِنَّ دينَ اللهِ لا يُعرَفُ بِالرَّجالِ بَل بِآيَةِ الحَقَّ فَاعرِفِ الحَقَّ تَعرِف اَهلَهُ. (البحار/ج68/ص120) 9- لَا تَکونَنَّ عَبدَ غَيرِکَ فَقَد جَعَلَکَ اللهُ سُبحانَهُ حُرّاً. (غررالحکم،الفصل 85،ا لحديث219) 10- اِنَّ الأَمرَ بِالمَعرُوفِ وَالنَّهیَ عَنِ المُنکَرِ لا يُقَرَّبانِ مِن اَجَلٍ، وَلا يُناقَصانِ مِن رِزقٍ ولکِن يُضاعِفَانِ الثَّوابَ وَيُعَظِّمانِ الأَجرَ،وَاَفضَلُ مِنهُما کَلِمَةُ عَدلٍ عِندَ اِمامً جائِرٍ.
