Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei narrates and explains a tradition narrated from the 6th divinely appointed Imam, Imam Ja\'far al-Sadiq (A), who narrates from his father, the 5th divinely appointed Imam, Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (A), where his eminence Imam al-Baqir speaks about \"A Believer\'s 4 Qualities\".
Yet, what are these four qualities that a believer must have?
And if a believer has these four qualities, what is its result?
And are these mere individual issues or are they societal issues?
Moreover, is it enough to merely speak about these qualities or is there more to it?
Finally, what is the modern meaning when it is said that we must not be overly strict with those whom we own?
Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei expounds upon the wise words of Imam Muhammad ibne Ali al-Baqir (A).

Sayyid Haydar Hasanayn eloquently explains the deeply insightful concepts elaborated upon by the Leader, Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei in his book, “An Outline of Islamic Thought In the Quranâ€. One of the core concepts of the Quran and Islam is the concept of \"Al-Infaq\" or \"giving\". But this concept has been vastly misunderstood by the common masses. You may have come across a poster during your surfing the web of a beggar holding up a sign, \"Keep your coins, I want change!\". Well... Islam provides the solution to the overwhelming catastrophe of global poverty rates. And it\'s not so much to do with money as it is to do with bringing about a change... in you.

How should a believer act when they are faced with the attacks of the enemy? Should we run for our lives as fast as we can? Or should we hide and cower out of fear of the enemy\\\'s attacks?
Did the believers in the age of the holy Prophet Muhammad (S) expect the enemies of Islam to be satisfied with the call of Islam, and likewise did the Islamic Revolution really expect the materialistic global powers to sit quickly and watch the show?
Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei provides us with a short interpretation of the following verse of the Holy Quran.
Chapter 33 (al-Ahzab), Verse 22:
“And when the Mo’mineen (the believers) saw the Confederates they said this is what Allah and His Messenger had promised us, and Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth; and it only added to their faith and their submission [to Allah].â€

What are three things that are among the most important, yet difficult duties of the Mo\'min, the believer?
And what should one do when one is faced with the choice of trampling the Truth for one’s self or sacrifice one’s self for the Truth?
Moreover, why is remembering Allah in all situations important and what does it result in?
The Leader of the Muslim Ummah, Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei, answers and explains an enlightening and thought-provoking Hadith from the 5th Infallible Imam, Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (A).

This Du\'a is taught by Imam Sajjad (as) and is Du\'a #31 in Saheefa as Âsajjadiyyah. The du\'a is a touching plea by one who acknowledges the enormity of the sins he has committed. His hope lies only in the mercy and forgiveness of Allah.
Using Qur\'anic concepts of repentance, and its acceptance, Imam teaches us how to be sincere in seeking it. The Du\'a reiterates the conditions of repentance, the physical signs present on a true repenter, and the legitimate hopes given to one who truly seeks forgiveness. It is a beautifully elegant way of expressing the remorse and hope of a faithful believer who has sinned.
“There is nothing more beloved to Allah than a believer who is repentant, male or female.â€Â - Holy Prophet (saawa)

How are we supposed to act when we get a victory in a battle or we become successful in any situation? Are we supposed to celebrate, chant slogans on the streets, and do merrymaking? What does Allah in Quran tell us? Can a believer be over-confident about himself? Can a believer be over-confident about the mercy of Allah?
Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei provides us with a short interpretation of the following verse of the Holy Quran.
Chapter 110 (al-Nasr), Verse 1-3:
“When the help of Allah comes and the Victory, and you see the people entering into Allah’s religion in multitudes, then glorify [Him] with praises of your Lord and ask Him for forgiveness. Surely, He is ever-accepting of repentance.â€

Complete Sermon of Prophet Muhammad SAWW at Ghadeer Khum by Agha Hassan Mujtaba Rizvi - English
The Ghadir event and its significance
Seventy days before his demise, when Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HF) 1 was returning to Medina after his last pilgrimage to Mecca, he reached the pond of Khum
(Ghadir Khum) near Juhfa. It was the 18th of the month of Dhul-Hijja of the year 10 AH (March 15, 632 AD). By this time, the Prophet (PBUH&HF) had conveyed
all of the divine commandments to his nation except for the formal and explicit public announcement of his divinely appointed successors as the leaders,
guardians, and guides for the believers for all days to come.
By the order of Allah, the Prophet (PBUH&HF) stopped at the pond of Khum, gathered the crowd of pilgrims, and delivered his last universal speech. In this
sermon, he presented his last religious instruction which finalized the last divine religion and made Islam the perfect religion in the sight of Allah. Imam
Muhammad al-Baqir (PBUH), the fifth Imam and successor of the Prophet (PBUH&HF) said: “The last obligatory duty that Allah sent down was al-Walaya(adherence
to the guardian assigned by Allah). Then, He sent down the verse: ‘Today, I completed your religion…’1 once the Messenger of Allah established it in Juhfa
area.â€
This message was the most unique in the entire mission of the Prophet (PBUH&HF) due to the revelation of Verse 67, Chapter 5 of the Holy Quran before his
speech. In this revelation, Allah warned His Messenger that failing to deliver this last message would nullify his entire mission. This unprecedented warning
proves that this last message contained the most important religious commandment of Allah for the Muslim nation.
Moreover, the contents of this last message were so crucial to the faith that the Prophet (PBUH&HF) emphatically required all those who directly or
indirectly heard the sermon of Ghadir Khum to convey it to people who were not aware of its details, and parents to convey it to their children for all
generations to come. Hence, this sermon addresses all Muslim generations of the world until the Day of Judgement. This emphasis naturally implies that
the content of this message has a vital role in the future of the Muslims, their spiritual health, and their felicity in the Hereafter.
The main issue that the Prophet (PBUH&HF) addressed in his speech in Ghadir Khum was that Allah appointed Ali Ibn Abi Talib (PBUH) as the guardian (Wali),
the master (Mawla), the leader (Imam), and the commander (Amir) of all believing men and women, the deputy and the executor of his affairs (Wasi), and his
successor (Khalifa). His sayings and commands should be preferred over the opinions of all others in every matter. Obeying him is obeying Allah, and
disobeying him is disobeying Allah. Whoever follows him (and his sayings) is a believer under the guardianship of Allah, and whoever turns away from him (or
his sayings) is a disbeliever under the guardianship of Satan.
Guardianship (al-Walaya) expresses a bilateral relation between the guardian and the people. Observing al-Walaya by people means adhering to the guardian and
acknowledging his authority by heart, tongue, and action. On the other hand, the action of al-Walaya by the guardian means offering protection from evil,
spiritual assistance, care, support, and guidance for his adherents. A divinely appointed guardian guards his adherents from misguidance, spiritual
destruction, wrongdoing, and sin as much as they adhere to him and his commands. Establishing al-Walaya has been the ultimate goal of religion and the fruit
of the entire efforts of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HF) during his mission.
One who submits to Allah’s representative and adheres to him has indeed acknowledged Allah’s authority and guardianship and is a true monotheist in obeying
Allah. Acknowledging the guardianship of the leaders that Allah appointed and submitting to them is the greatest pillar of faith. It safeguards the followers
from the wrath and punishment of Allah. Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (PBUH) said: “Islam is established by five things: prayer, charity, fasting, pilgrimage, and
al-Walaya (adhering to the guardians authorized by Allah). None (among them) was called for as (emphatically as) al-Walaya was called for. However, people
accepted the first four and abandoned al-Walaya.
People who refused to submit to the leaders that Allah appointed resemble the Satan who refused to submit to the viceregent of Allah, Adam (PBUH), and
consequently, became an outcast and went under the curse of Allah forever as mentioned in the Holy Quran.1 It is narrated that Imam al-Ridha (PBUH) said:
“The similitude of the believers in accepting the guardianship of the Commander of the Believers (Ali) on the day of Ghadir Khum is that of the angels in
prostrating before Adam (i.e., submitting to him), and the similitude of those who turned away from the guardianship of the Commander of the Believers on the
day of Ghadir is that of the devil (Iblis).
In one of his speeches on the anniversary of the day of Ghadir, Imam Ali (PBUH) said: “Allah does not accept the faith (of an individual) except after he
acknowledges the guardianship of whom He required. He does not arrange the means of His obedience (for an individual) except after he adheres to His ropes
and the ropes of His authorized people. Thus, Allah sent down to His Prophet (PBUH&HF) on the day of the large trees1 that which explained His will for His
