Security From Fear On The Judgment Day In Wasailush Shia...

Security From Fear On The Judgment Day In Wasailush Shia through a trustworthy chain of narrators it is narrated from His Eminence, Abu Abdillah Sadiq (as) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (S) said: “One who considers seniority in age as an excellence worth respect, would be protected by the Almighty Allah from fear on the Judgment Day.”[^6] Through same chain of narrators it is narrated from Imam Ja’far Sadiq (as) that he said: “For one who honors and respects an aged person in Islam, the Almighty Allah keeps him secure from terror and fear on the Judgment Day.”[^7] It is mentioned that the Messenger of Allah (S) said: “One who recognizes the excellence of an aged person and due to his age, pays respect to him, the Almighty Allah would grant him security from fear on the Judgment Day.”[^8] 3.

Proximity To The Court Of Allah In Usool Kafi through his own chain of narrators it is narrated from His Eminence, Abu Abdillah Sadiq (as) that he said: “Among all the things that the Almighty Allah revealed to Dawood was: O Dawood, just as the most proximate people to the Almighty Allah are the humble ones, in the same way the most distant persons from the Almighty Allah are the arrogant.”[^9] 4.

Fulfillment Of A Part Of The Rights In Darus Salaam quoting from the book of Man Laa Yahzarul Faqih it is mentioned from the Messenger of Allah (S) that he said: “A believer has seven rights on another believer made obligatory by the Almighty Allah: His respect in his absence…”[^10] I say: Perhaps it implies that ‘obligatory’ is taken in dictionary meaning, that is proof.

It means that Allah, the Mighty and the High has made these rights of one believer on another, as the grades of honoring – in his absence and presence – are different. Some are obligatory, like: refuting his gheebat (back-biting) and some are recommended like: Praying for him and praising him during his absence. And it should be known that when these rights are proved for the believer they are proved first and foremost for the Imam of the believers. 5.

Earning Love Through this act the supplicant becomes the favorite of his master, because this act is a favor and an expression of love and both are eligible for the Imam’s love. In addition to the respect and honor that is in it, it also sows the seeds of love in the heart of one who is humble to him. Rather, principally the quality of humility creates love among the people, and this matter is perceptible.
