Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Last Luminary and Ways to Delve Into the Light Responsibility 74: Good Thoughts of the Awaited Imam Another responsibility of the people is to have good thoughts about the twelfth Imam (ajtf). A true believer must always perform good deeds which will earn the pleasure of the Imam and this cannot be achieved except through obedience to the commandments he has given us and through possessing taqwa of Allah.
In reality, the followers of each of the A`immah (as) wanted the best for their Imam and obeyed them in all matters and tried to always follow their orders. Therefore, the true beauty of a person is that he does those things which are the best for his Imam and refrains from anything which would hurt or annoy him. Imam Muhammad b.
Muhammad as-Sadiq (as) has stated that: كُونُوا لَنَا زَيْناً وَ لاَ تَكُونُوا عَلَيْنَا شَيْناً “Be a beauty for us (the Ahlul Bayt) and do not be a source of embarrassment for us.”[^2] [^1]: al-Kafi, vol. 1, pg. 404, sec. ‘That which the Prophet commanded,’ no. 3 [^2]: Biharul Anwar, vol. 68, pg. 151, sec. 19, no. 6 Previous Next
