their fathers...
their fathers, (would be) from the Momineen, (because) they would not teach them (their children) anything from the Obligations, and when they do teach their children, they would prevent them (from learning the Obligations), and they would be pleased from them with the little display from the world (success of the world). Thus, I -saww am disavowed from them, and they are disavowed from me -saww ’.
[4] The following Hadith is usually presented to justify the needs of the modern world but in this Hadith, Amir-ul-Momineen -asws is implying those aspects which do not oppose Islam but are within the boundaries of Islamic laws, i.e., cloths/shoes we wear, furniture we buy. لا تقسروا أولادكم على آدابكم فإنهم مخلوقون لزمان غير زمانكم. (Amir Al-Momineen -asws said: ‘Do not force your children to be upon your etiquettes, for they have been created for an era other than your era’.
Abu Ja’far -asws (5 th Imam) said: ‘If I -asws was brought a youth from the youths of the Shias, not having pondered (acquired knowledge) in his Religion, I -asws would punish him’. [7] ” . مرّ برسول الله صلي الله عليه و اله و سلم رجلٌ وهو في أصحابه، فقال بعضُ القوم: مجنونٌ، فقال النبيّ صلي الله عليه و اله و سلم بل هذا رجلٌ مُصاب، إنّما المجنون عبدٌ أو أمةٌ أبليا شبابهما في غير طاعة الله. A man passed by Rasool-Allah -saww while he -saww was among his -saww companions.
Someone said: “This is an insane man. “Rasool-Allah -saww said: “No. He is perfectly healthy. Men or women who spend their youth obeying someone other than Allah -azwj are insane.” [8] Compliance with the Society: Our youth as well as rest of us, need to remain within the limits of Islamic laws and then wear, eat or do whatever is the ‘norm’ of the society, for example our 6 th Imam -asws says: وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ فِي حَدِيثٍ خَيْرُ لِبَاسِ كُلِ زَمَانٍ لِبَاسُ أَهْلِهِ.
