Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Pretension and Conceit Statement in Point By Imam Komeini The imam, may his shade endure, says the following : "What has to be pointed out is that some of those with weak souls, those whose souls are not at ease, cast doubt about many rewards received for partial matters, being indifferent to the fact that if something seems small in our eyes in the life of this world, it does not mean that its image in the world of the unknown and in the angelic world is also small and insignificant.

Perhaps a small being may have in its domain and inwardly the perfection of greatness and glory. The sacred physique and the bodily form of the Honored Prophet, the seal of prophets, the revered Prophet and the great one, peace of Allah be with him and his progeny, was one of the small existents in this world, hut his holy soul surrounded the domain and the angelic kingdom and was the cause for the existence of the heavens and the earth.

Passing a judgment about the "insignificance" and the small size of something according to its hidden and angelic image is a branch of knowledge of the angelic world and Of the hidden and people like us have no right to make such a judgment. We have to open our eyes and ears to the words of the scholars of the hereafter world. I mean the prophets and friends of Allah, peace be with them all.

Moreover, that world is based on the Almighty bestowing His favors and infinite mercy, while there is neither an end nor a limit to Allah's favors. Absolute exclusion from the favor of the most Generous One Who has the infinite mercy originates from extreme ignorance, for all these blessings which He has bestowed upon His servants and which the minds are too incapable of and are too puzzled to count, all came into being without anyone asking for or being worthy of.

So, what is the objection if He bestows many times as many as these boons unto His servants without precedence? Is this too much to expect in a world that was built on the influence of the human will and about which the following verse was revealed: "There will he all that the souls could desire there, all that the eves could delight in" (Qur'an, 43:71), despite man's desires having neither an end nor a measure?!

Allah, the most Blessed and Exalted One, determined that world and the human will so as man would exist according to His mere will.
