Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Imam Al-sadiq 2- His Sermons Our Imam (al- Sâdiq), peace be on him, went on spreading his immortal sermons among men to educate and guide them to the righteous way of Allah, the Exalted and to achieve their happiness in the two abodes (i.e. here and the hereafter). Many of his sermons have been mentioned in the vailable books.

We have decided to mention the most important ones of the sermons of al- Sâdiq as follows: Belief in Allah: Belief in Allah is the first of the religious duties and the base of virtues and acts. Rather, it is the objective of the objectives and the end of perfection of man. Rivalry for precedence among men is according to their rivalry for precedence to believe in Allah. For this reason, we have put belief in Allah in the beginning, of the sermons of al- Sádiq, peace be on him.

It is enough for his speech on the belief in Allah that we will mention the following paragraphs in which he summons men to believe in Allah and urges them to cleave to it showing its great effects and pleasure.

He, peace be on him says:” If men know the virtue of belief in Allah, they will not look at what Allah enjoys the enemies of the choice and the comfort of life in this world, their lives in this world will be less than that which they trod on with their legs, they will lead a life of ease and comfort through believing in Allah, and will get pleasure from (living) in the gardens of Paradise with the friends of Allah.

Believing in Allah, the Great and Almighty, is sociability for every estrangement, friendship for every loneliness, light against every darkness, strength for every weakness, and cure for every illness.” Then he, peace be on him, said:” People had been before you. They were killed and burnt and sawed with the saw. ‘And they did not take vengeance on them for ought except that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the praised.’ So, ask (Allah to grant you) their ranks.

Be patient,,1 toward the misfortunes of your time, then you get their consequence.[1] He, peace be on him, describes belief in Allah as the one who has tasted it, then he encourages men to taste this delicious food.
