Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei narrates and explains a tradition narrated from the 1st divinely appointed Imam (A), Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (A), where his eminence (A) tells us all, \"Don\'t Place Yourself Under the Target of Slander\".
It is true that the Ahlul Bayt (A) have commanded us to think positive about our religious brothers and sisters; yet is there something that we might do which undermines this?
What are some of the ways in which we place ourselves under the target of slander, which is known in Arabic as Tohmah?
Who is in control when we keep our secrets to ourselves?
And is the safekeeping of secrets merely limited to our own individual lives?
Is not placing oneself under the target of slander limited to the common people, or are even religious scholars included in this statement?
Finally, as true believers and Mo\'mineen, why are we told, \"Don\'t Place Yourself Under the Target of Slander\"?
Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei expounds upon the wise words of the 1st divinely appointed Imam (A), Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (A), where his eminence (A) tells us all, \"Don\'t Place Yourself Under the Target of Slander\".

==============================
Abdullah bin Umar met Aba Abdillah al-Husayn (as) in Medina. He said, âIâve heard you want to go.â âYes, come with me and help us,â said the Imam. âNo, I canât,â he said. âO Abdullah bin Umar, this world is not worth it. Come with me.â The Imam then told him a reason for him to be able to think correctly. He said, âThis world is such that the Children of Israel would behead their prophet at night and live their life comfortably in the morning.â The Imam recited an elegy for one of the beheaded prophets in order to help Abdullah bin Umar lose his infatuation with this world. âThis world isnât worth it. Come with me. Itâs a world where such crimes take place.â
What should hearing Imam Husaynâs elegies do to us? You friends who are mourning for Aba Abdillah al-Husayn and who love him, accept this that we have just started our relationship with Imam Husayn (as). The Imamâs martyrdom has not yet affected us. Do you know when his martyrdom will affect us? Itâs when we start feeling the same way Zaynab felt when he said goodbye, and she fainted and collapsed. Itâs when you take this elegy seriously on the night of Ashura, âTonight the king of religion is a guest in her tent. O morning, donât rise!â
Who can be affected by Aba Abdillah al-Husaynâs (as) martyrdom? The one who has this unusual thought the night before Ashura, âMaybe they wonât kill Husayn (as) tomorrow. Maybe. Could it be possible?â You say, âThe story finished 1,400 years ago!â But when one has an intense love, his mind functions like this and is under the influence of his love. When he is told that Husayn, the son of Lady Fatimah, was martyred on the evening of Ashura, his life changes. Heâll live differently from the next day. âYouâre not infatuated with this world anymore?â He replies, âI saw this world is not worth it. They killed Husayn, the son of Fatimah, and I pursue this world?â

Where does one start if they want to make their motivations for their actions the satisfaction and approval of Allah?
What should one consider and think about before they do anything?
Does the love of the materialistic world create a deadly impediment when it comes to doing things for the sake of Allah?
What should one do when there is a conflict between the wants of the self and the wants of Allah?
And finally, what is a higher spiritual level when it comes to choosing between the wants of the self and the wants of Allah?
The late Ayatollah Misbah-Yazdi (R) provides us with a short, but profound lesson on the basics of loving Allah.

And even though we can\'t reach the level of Imam Ali (A), does this mean that we shouldn\'t try to be like his eminence (A)?
When training and nurturing one\'s family members, what is an important thing that one must keep in mind, vis-Ă -vis their capacity?
Finally, how will you answer when asked, \"Can You Detach Yourself From The World?\"

[Clip] Talking Properly: Politeness or Honesty | Agha Ali Reza Panahian...

Talking Properly: Politeness or Honesty?
âPious people have superior virtues. Their words are proper.â [Imam Ali (as), The Muttaqin Sermon] At the top of the list of moral virtues, which Imam Ali (as) lists for pious people, are controlling oneâs tongue and speaking correctly.
âPious people have superior virtues. Their words are proper.â âTheir words are properâ tells us a few things. Being proper does not mean being honest. You can talk honestly and ruin a nation. You can talk honestly and ruin a person. Backbiting is saying something that is true. [One says,] âIâm saying the truth [about him].â You are wrong to say this truth! You shouldnât say all true things. You shouldnât talk about a personâs fault when he is absent. Donât say that. It is even said that when a person backbites you should defend the one who is absent. You shouldnât say all truths. Proper doesnât mean honesty. Talking properly is different from talking honestly.
Sometimes people talk honestly in order to relieve themselves, but they shouldnât. They tell others about their sufferings, but they shouldnât. People sometimes talk honestly and tell others about the good deeds they have done, and that is hypocrisy. People sometimes talk honestly and show their hatred toward others. I can tell you numerous examples of honest words that are not âproper.â
But I have to tell you one thing. Speaking the truth, in any area, reduces a personâs mental pressures. When you tell other peopleâs secrets, you release yourself. When you talk about your own pains, you release yourself. When you talk about your hatred, you release yourself.
Itâs interesting that some people say any truth and say, âMy conscience is at ease this way.â That is not their conscious. They have relieved themselves in a way that God didnât want. Releasing yourself like this ruins you and makes you cheap. Not all ways of finding ease are good. In the past, some psychologists used to say that if a personâs father has passed away and he has inherited money, since an obstacle has been removed from his life, why should he act like he is upset? He can easily go, have fun and say that heâs happy.
Such a society will gradually lose its modesty. Do you know what happens when there is no modesty? When there is no modesty and people relieve themselves by talking honestly, they become weak. When you control your honesty due to your modesty and other boundaries, you will feel a pressure. This pressure makes a person grow and strengthens him. For example, when one gets angry, he shouldnât curse. This brings a pressure. [One says,] âI honestly ask God to make you wretched! I wish you didnât exist on this earth!â You should have controlled this! The result of some kinds of honesty is weakness. This pressure makes a person grow. It strengthens him.
Should we push children to be honest or polite? Politeness. What is politeness? Itâs basically modesty. Politeness tells a person what he shouldnât say. Is politeness more valuable or honesty? If you donât attack me, Iâll say politeness. A child likes to say many things honestly. But you should tell him, âYou should observe these rules when you talk. This is politeness.â
âPious people have superior virtues. Their words are proper.â

==============================
We are not supposed to abandon any of our needs, and besides our needs, any of our interests. We are supposed to increase ourselves each moment. We are not supposed to forget ourselves. Forgetting oneself is in fact a divine punishment. âThose who forget about God, He will make them forget themselves.â [Qurâan 59:19] Since they forgot God, God does something that they forget themselves too. When you look at a sinner, you see that he has forgotten himself, what benefits him and his enjoyments.
Each sin means you have forgotten and abandoned your own interests, enjoyments, likings and entertainments. Seeking benefits is not bad, but which kinds of benefits? Your small benefits or the great, lasting benefits? In fact, doing any good action is a kind of being self-seeking! But itâs a good way of being self-seeking and not bad. When is self-seeking bad? If you want your own benefits and others to sacrifice for you, this is wrong.
When is self-seeking good? Itâs when you seek your own benefits by sacrificing for others. In the end, youâre seeking good for yourself! By sacrificing for others, youâre seeking good for yourself. This is a correct way of being self-seeking. [You may ask,] âI thought if I forget myself and my benefits, God will reward me. Now youâre telling me to be self-seeking?! Why should God love me if I am self-seeking?â If I want to give you a nice answer, Iâll tell you, âYou donât understand. You donât understand that God loves us more than our mothers do.â
When we are self-seeking and are successful, the first one who rewards us is God Himself. When a child gets accepted for entering the university, his mother sheds tears of joy. âMother, you havenât been accepted. Heâs been accepted.â She says, âYes, heâs my child. Heâs dear to me. His success is my success.â âMother, you wonât be given anything. Heâll leave. She/he will get married and leave.â She answers, âThatâs my child! I love to see his/her success.â
How does one get close to God? When you seek benefits for yourself, since God loves you very much, He gets happy and rewards you with Heaven. âGood job!â âWhy do You reward me with Heaven? This was to my own benefit!â Shall I tell you the answer for you to be greatly affected by Godâs intense magnanimity and affection?
God says, âI have created a creature by the name of âhuman being,â and you have respected him. So I thank you. You have done Me a favor.â Where in the Qurâan does it say, âYou have done Me a favor and I want to thank youâ? Tell me the verse in the Qurâan.
Itâs truly effective. âIâve done You a favor?!â âYes.â âCan anything else be a response to a favor but a favor?â [Qurâan 55:60] âYouâve done Me a favor, and I want to do you a favor.â âGod, Iâve done You a favor?!â âYes, you didnât waste what I created. You did Me a favor as much as you could, and I will do you a favor as much as I can. You were able to do Me a favor this much. How much am I able to do you a favor? Iâll give you Heaven for an eternity.â
Each sin means you have forgotten and abandoned your own interests, enjoyments, likings and entertainments. When you seek benefits for yourself, since God loves you very much, He gets happy and rewards you with Heaven. âGood job!â

Dua Makarimul Akhlaq - Arabic with English Subtitles (HD)

This Du`a is taught by the Imam Sajjad (a) and is a clear indication of the loftiness of moral virtues expected of a believer. Islam believes in the elevation of the human beings, that a human is a great and dignified creation, far above the animal world. One of the signs of this dignity is the possession of noble and magnanimous qualities. In order to achieve this behavioral excellence, man needs to overcome his base and selfish attributes, and cultivate noble qualities.
In this Du`a the Imam (a) specifies these qualities and shows how we can try to inculcate them in ourselves. Taken as a lesson is Akhlaq, the Du`a is a wonderful program for those who wish to excel in good akhlaq.
The most complete in faith among the believers is he who has best manners
Holy Prophet (s)
Habituate yourself to magnanimity and choose for yourself the most excellent of all etiquettes, for virtuous behavior is a habit. Avoid the most low of all etiquettes, and struggle with yourself to avoid it, for evil is stubborn.
Imam Ali (a)

Friends, let this not come as a surprise to you. This is the reality we are living in where it is âestimated that one billion people in the world suffer from hunger and malnutrition. Thatâs roughly 100 times as many as those who actually die from these causes each year. About 24,000 people die every day from hunger or hunger related causes⊠Three-fourths of the deaths are children under the age of five.â
--HOW YOU CAN HELP --
Donât waste natural resources. Be thankful to God for His gifts and blessings. Be mindful of your responsibility toward other human beings. Think about what the Prophet (saws) would do. Have mercy and compassion toward all humankind. Next time you spend money on those unnecessary luxuries of your life, think for a moment about the plight of the poor and oppressed around the world. Be aware of the materialistic forces and the contradictions of the dominant economic systems that are at the roots of global inequality. Donât become a part of this system. Donât become a slave of consumerism and endless materialistic competition.
Understand that it is not enough to just keep yourself from engaging in consumerism. It's not always easy to protect yourself and your family against the multi-billion dollar industry of marketing. Join forces with other like-minded people. Strengthen your communities that can serve as a buffer against corporations. Engage in collective action. Transform people's consciousness and hyper-consumeristic lifestyles. Among other things, join a local organization that is working against subtle forms of oppression, like hunger, poverty, illiteracy, domestic violence, anorexia and bulimia, perfect body images, and endless materialistic competition. If there isnât any, start one today!
For ideas, you can look into doing online activism. Check out moveon.orgâs work. Some online organizations also invite web surfers to click on their sites regularly. They say every click earns them revenue to support their causes. The Hunger Site is an example. Some may also invite you to buy their T-shirts and other souvenirs. I guess, you can buy these items if you think they can help spread the word and encourage people to join a good cause. But, in general, more shopping and more consumption cannot be a solution to human suffering. Selling consumers to products through clicks or ads is exactly what we need to shun. Because that feeds into the same loop of consumerism. My suggestion: Donate directly! And, encourage others to do the same!
Lastly, remember the advice Imam Ali gave in his Last Will:
âMy advice to you is to be conscious of Allah and steadfast in your religion. Do not yearn for the world, and do not be seduced by it. Do not resent anything you have missed in it. Proclaim the truth; work for the next world. Oppose the oppressor and support the oppressed.â
Become a friend and supporter of oppressed people and an enemy of oppressors and all forms of oppression."

Ahmadinejad in Iranian Club in DUBAI, United Arab Emirates.
Iran's president led an anti-American rally in DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, this tightly controlled U.S. ally in the Persian Gulf, a day after a low-key visit by Vice President Dick Cheney aimed at countering Tehran's influence in the region.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad tells the cheering crowd that America was to blame for creating instability and robbing the region of its wealth.
"We are telling you to leave the region. This is for your benefit and the benefit of your nation," Ahmadinejad says to the crowd of thousands at a soccer stadium. "The nations of the region can no longer take you forcing yourself on them. The nations of the region know better how to create peace and security."
"Every time your name is mentioned, hatred builds up," Ahmadinejad said of the United States. "Go fix yourself. This is Iran's advice to you. Leave the region."
One woman in the crowd shouted "I love you!" and Ahmadinejad paused to respond with a polite "thank you."
"God bless you for loving Iran so dearly," he told the crowd. "I love you."
The crowd, many of them expatriate Iranians, cheered Ahmadinejad and waved Iranian flags. One group carried a black banner bearing a yellow symbol seen on nuclear fallout shelters. Chants of "Down with the USA!" and "Nuclear energy is our right!" frequently interrupted the speech.
His rally was remarkable in a country where political parties are banned and power is held solely by tribal families

In philosophy of Iqbal Divine Love has very considerable and meaningful place. It is love that awakens ecstasy in the lifeless and the dead. love spread in each and every fiber of man body just like morning breeze that spread in branches of flowers.
If Man does not recognize his Lord he becomes salve of kings. However, kings will devotee themselves to you if you admit yourself in front of Allah( provider)
Freedom of heart from materialistic and worldly things is royalty and nobility for Man. On other side if your heart is slave of worldly life then it's death for Man. I have told you the ways, now it's up to you wathier you choose kingdom or death.
Oh Muslim, travel within yourself and ask the heart, that why don't you find the reall Man of God (Momin) today?....
Because hearts are empty from divine Love and eyes are not pure.
Found any mistake in explanation? please feel free to get back to me.
