ATTRIBUTES OF THE RIGHTEOUS [6]

Text of Hadith;

A mumin is a trust worthy person, he avoids evil, faith is his companion, he loves modesty, he is alert to possible danger and chances of him straying from the path are ever slim, for example, he always strives to keep to the right path.

Explanation

He is a trust worthy person. Trust has had particular concern among the teachings of the prophets [peace be upon them]. Since the word trust in traditions appears in plural form, it could suppose different shades of trust.

     Divine trust is present within and among ourselves, namely age, youth, health, faith, religion, sovereignty, revolution, offspring, etc and that every one is obliged to safeguard them. If the offspring of man deviate and go astray or if the revolution [Islamic Revolution] dwindles or suffers a blow as the case maybe, or if our actions are such that we fail to meet our commitments, allowing Islam and the Uhlul Bayt school of thought to experience a disaster, it will be considered a breach of trust.

       Given the various kinds of trust, duty and responsibility are of critical importance and it is because of this particular trust that people have failed to safeguard and preserve it. Mankind agrees to its high standard and so should take this matter very seriously. For this reason this section is relevant to those who have attained the age of puberty, since after one comes of age, God makes one duty bound and responsible before him.

       One other trust is this very attire worm by clergymen. Let us ensure that this dress is well respected, and we should also stick to the rules of morality and obey the dignitaries. We should also be well informed and cognizant of religious issues and memory, in this way we will be able to preserve this heavenly trust. When driving we should always abide by the traffic rules to a considerable degree outstanding others. A nation’s culture can be traced in the manner they drive and adhering to the        Islamic revolution is also a trust and these days mark the victory of the Islamic revolution i.e. the day when the revolution came to fruition.

       On ten Fayr two things are necessary;

[1] Thanks giving by words and by works for the blessings of God.

[2] to discern one self i.e. to identify one’s strong and weak points that have accrued in the past 24 years in order to get rid of the weak points and leave room for the possible ones.

One critical concern is the damaging meetings and processions held as a sign of renewing allegiance to the prosperity of the Islamic revolution which has elements that damage the image of the revolution. This spot of claim is not trust at all, but trust is that we make the next generation appreciate and treasure the values and goods of the revolution, then commit this trust to them.
