The sustenance is little...

The sustenance is little, the distance is far, the journey is long, the future is serious”[^14] One of these examples is that we find the belief uncover the nature of this world and the bad end at him, who is deceived by it or rests to it, it also shows the narrow-sightedness of him, who seeks or hopes to find complete rest in this world, it is related from the Imam Alsaadiq (A.S.) saying: Do not hope the impossible, they said: who can hope the impossible?

Imam (A.S.) said: you do, do you not hope relaxation in this world? They said: yes, he said: “relaxation for believer in this world is impossible”[^15] B- Misfortunes involve a reward and a recompensation: this belief enlightens the suffering of man from misfortunes, so he confronts them with a solidated heart, and a tranquil soul hoping Allah’s reward and mercy, they do not leave an influence on his heart more than the influence of a bubble on the surface of water.

The prophet (S.W.A.) says: Misfortunes are the keys of reward” [^16] A person wrote to Abbijaafar (A.S.) complaining to him about his misfortune of his sons demise, Abujaafar (A.S.) wrote to him: “haven’t you known that Allah chooses of the believer’s properties, sons and self to reward him for that.”[^17] C- drawing the Moslem’s attention to the great catastrophe: Which is the affliction in his religion, this minimizes and facilitates his endurance of small earthly afflictions, it is a clever way to absorb the psychological pressures the belief undertakes.

This tendency had the priority in the educational practices of “Ahlilbait”. It is narrated that Alsaadiq saw a person who was very grieved over his son’s death, Imam (A.S.) said to him: “O’ you have grieved over the small misfortune and passed over the great misfortune, had you been ready to meet your son’s death, you shouldn’t have grieved over him so much, so your misfortune with lacking or giving up your readiness to his death is much more than you’re affliction with your son’s death.”[^18] Abuabdullah (A.S.) says when he is afflicted with a misfortune: (Praise is to Allah in that He has not made my affliction in my religion and praise is to Allah who-if He wished- Hasn’t made my affliction greater, and praise is to Allah who has determined that this accident should take place so it took place.” [^19] In brief we conclude that Islamic ideology molds moderate strong spirits that face hard situations with a steadfast heart confidant of Allah’s destiny and judgement.
