Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Imam ‘Ali’s First Treatise On The Islamic Ethics And Education Fulfilment of God's Commands =============================== “ لزوم أمره” No doubt, God's commands are issued for the benefit of individuals and societies. A pious man, in order to gain these benefits, should always obey God's commands.
He who does not see any increase (in good) in himself is nearer to loss, and death is better than life for one who is nearer to loss." [^2] It is on the basis of this fact that the Imam (as) orders his son and his other spiritual sons to obey God's commands so that the spirit of development and attaining genuine benefits and the obedience of God’s commands are kept alive in children.
