Valuable Advice of Amir al-Mu'minin Ali (a.s.) (Part 1)

The leaders of Islam, each with their behavior and words, have invited their followers and those who seek truth and happiness to happiness and perfection so that they do not get confused and lost in the wilderness of life, and by guiding and presenting a series of moral principles and social regulations, they have organized their life relationships.

The Holy Prophet of Islam (s.a.w.s.) and the Infallible Imams (a.s.) have, on the one hand, expressed moral virtues and their effects and consequences in their speeches and have encouraged Muslims to do so, and on the other hand, they have identified and introduced the roots and causes of moral vices and diseases and have also explained their treatment methods. By carefully reading these speeches, Muslims can act accordingly and pave the way for their salvation. For example, Amir al-Mu'minin Ali (a.s.) has, in a speech, precise and valuable moral advice that, if followed carefully and acted upon, can remove many problems from the face of man.

 

- Be a good person

ذَلِّلُوا أَخْلَاقَكُمْ بِالْمَحَاسِنِ وَ قَوِّدُوهَا إِلَى الْمَكَارِمِ

“Humble your character with good deeds and direct it to the noble ones.”

The Quran defines good deeds as follows: “Good deeds are not that you turn towards the East or the West. The good deeds are those who believe in God and the Last Day, and believe in the angels, the Scriptures, and the prophets. He spends his wealth, in spite of what he loves, on relatives and orphans, and on the needy and the wayfarer, and on beggars and on the freeing of slaves. He establishes prayer, gives zakat, fulfills his covenant, is patient in poverty and illness, and is steadfast in battle. "Those are the ones who speak the truth, and it is they who are the righteous." [Al-Baqarah 177]
