Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books One Hundred And Fifty Lessons For Life Lesson One Hundred Seven: Do Not Sever All Relations With God Imam As-Sadiq (a.s.) said: اِتَّقِ اللّه بَعْضَ التُّقَى وَ إنْ قَلَّ وَدَعْ بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَهُ سِتْراً وَ إنْ رَقَّ Translation Be god-fearing and fear although it may be little, and maintain a curtain between yourself and Him, although it may be thin.[^1] Brief Description There are some people who sever all relations between themselves and God.
They burn all bridges behind them and close all doors for their return to God as they proceed along the path of sins and mistakes. Imam As-Sadiq (a.s.), in this pearl of wisdom, advises us not to do that and to maintain a link however flimsy so that one can return one day and find an open door to enter for repentance.
