🔅🌼Inhaling the Fragrance of the Sajjadi Tradition 🌼🔅

🌻Imam Zayn al-Abidin is the Imam of medicine and healing—the Imam who, at the time of his own grave illness, saved the world from the fatal disease of irreligion. What, then, must such an Imam accomplish in the celestial realm of his health!

🌻The Zayn al-Abidin approach prevails over all other approaches; it brings hearts to life and is the secret of the universe’s existence.

🌻To know Imam al-Sajjad, peace be upon him, is to know the loftiest achievement of humanity. Even the great prophets long for this station.

🌻Imam al-Sajjad, peace be upon him, amid the chains of captivity, unravelled the fabric woven by Yazid and the Yazidis, and left Satan disappointed.

🌻The Sahifa Sajjadiyya is alive, articulate, ever-growing and life-giving.

🌻The Sahifa Sajjadiyya is the outpouring of the blessed soul of the Speaking Qur’an.

🌻The Sahifa Sajjadiyya contains the treasures of heaven, with layers within layers, and hidden and manifest dimensions.

🌻The Sahifa Sajjadiyya is a flourishing garden, rich in wondrous fruits.

🌻The words of the Sahifa Sajjadiyya put forth new shoots every moment.

🌻The Sahifa Sajjadiyya is that Sajjadi well left unused, and that Sajjadi lofty palace.

🌻«ادعونی استجب لکم» is interpreted with consummate beauty through the Sahifa Sajjadiyya.

🌻A moment’s neglect of the Sahifa Sajjadiyya is an irreparable loss.

🌻The Sahifa Sajjadiyya is the hidden and hoarded secret of al-Sajjad. The Sahifa is “نور علی نور”.

🌻Imam al-Sajjad, peace be upon him, is the Imam who transforms and transfigures; through the beauty of his majesty, splendour and words, he transforms the human vessel.

🌻Connecting with the Imam’s words without connecting with their author leaves the miracle of those words undisclosed.

🌻We must connect ourselves to the holy presence of the Imam so that we may become the lamp illuminating his secrets and the lantern of his knowledge.

🌻The Sajjadi storms sweep away every speck and scrap of the refuse of polytheism and disbelief.

🌻When Imam al-Sajjad, peace be upon him, amid the chains of captivity, captures the hearts of the hard-hearted through the grandeur of his words and softens them, what might he do with the hearts of his followers?!

🌻We have lost our jewels; we have lost ourselves.

🌻Let us revive the Sajjadi movement within our hearts, so that we may overthrow the Yazid within us from his throne.

🌻We have enthroned the Yazid of desire within our hearts.

🌷🔆🌸بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِلَهِي إِلَيْكَ أَشْكُو نَفْساً بِالسُّوءِ أَمَّارَةً وَ إِلَى الْخَطِيئَةِ مُبَادِرَةً، وَ بِمَعَاصِيكَ مُولَعَةً، وَ لِسَخَطِكَ مُتَعَرِّضَةً، تَسْلُكُ بِي مَسَالِكَ الْمَهَالِكِ، وَ تَجْعَلُنِي عِنْدَكَ أَهْوَنَ هَالِكٍ، كَثِيرَةَ الْعِلَلِ طَوِيلَةَ الْأَمَلِ، إِنْ مَسَّهَا الشَّرُّ تَجْزَعُ وَ إِنْ مَسَّهَا الْخَيْرُ تَمْنَعُ، مَيَّالَةً إِلَى اللَّعِبِ وَ اللَّهْوِ، مَمْلُوءَةً بِالْغَفْلَةِ وَ السَّهْوِ، تُسْرِعُ بِي إِلَى الْحَوْبَةِ وَ تُسَوِّفُنِي بِالتَّوْبَةِ،

🌷🔆🌸إِلَهِي إِلَيْكَ أَشْكُو عَدُوّاً يُضِلُّنِي، وَ شَيْطَاناً يُغْوِينِي، قَدْ مَلَأَ بِالْوَسْوَاسِ صَدْرِي، وَ أَحَاطَتْ هَوَاجِسُهُ بِقَلْبِي، يُعَاضِدُ إِلَى الْهَوَى وَ يُزَيِّنُ لِي حُبَّ الدُّنْيَا، وَ يَحُولُ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ الطَّاعَةِ وَ الزُّلْفَى،

🌷🔆🌸 إِلَهِي إِلَيْكَ أَشْكُو قَلْباً قَاسِياً مَعَ الْوَسْوَاسِ مُتَقَلِّباً، وَ بِالرَّيْنِ وَ الطَّبْعِ مُتَلَبِّساً، وَ عَيْناً عَنِ الْبُكَاءِ مِنْ خَوْفِكَ جَامِدَة

🌻The Imam is the remembrance of God; let us never forget to remember God.

🔅🌼 Put a bridle on envy 🌼🔅

🌷🔆🌸 اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَ أَبْدِلْنِي مِنْ بِغْضَةِ أَهْلِ الشَّنَآنِ الْمَحَبَّةَ، وَ مِنْ حَسَدِ أَهْلِ الْبَغْيِ الْمَوَدَّةَ،

🌻Women who observe hijab are envied by women who do not. Unveiled women want all women to be demeaned and humiliated like themselves, while the dignity and grandeur of women who observe hijab are plain for all to see.

🌻Those who are headed for Hell want everyone to end up there. Unveiled women envy women who observe hijab, for hijab is a window onto the highest Paradise.

🌻Women who observe hijab will be queens among the women of the world; one day, unveiled women will be like dust beneath their feet.

🌻With the last glimmer of their innate nature, unveiled women perceive the dignity and majesty of women who observe hijab, and envy them.

🌻O God, instead of the envy of envious women, fill my heart with love for al-Zahra al-Mardiyya, and adorn my soul with the companionship of Zaynab al-Kubra.

🌻The greater one’s faith, the more intensely one is envied; faith is the most precious thing in all creation.

🌻The fiercest envy in all existence has been directed at Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad, peace be upon them.

🌻God’s grace, generosity, and favors upon Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad, peace be upon them, are immense.

🌷🔆🌸al-Nisaʾ: 54   أَمْ يَحْسُدُونَ النَّاسَ عَلى‏ ما آتاهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ فَقَدْ آتَيْنا آلَ إِبْراهيمَ الْكِتابَ وَ الْحِكْمَةَ وَ آتَيْناهُمْ مُلْكاً عَظيماً

🌻The quintessence, crown, and pinnacle of the House of Abraham are Muhammad and his family.

🌻When envy is put into action, it brings ruin, devastation, and destruction.

🌻Envy persists from before material creation, through the stages of the embryo and infancy, into old age and senescence, and right up to death. We must not lose sight of this fire and this serpent.

🌻Perhaps envy is a legacy of the primordial world, passed on from there to the embryo.

🌻Envy is not taught; it is imposed through influence.

🌻Those tempered in the furnace of envy become destructive weapons and turn into the greatest enviers in the world.

🌻The older a person grows, the younger envy becomes.

🌻Only faith and piety can break envy’s back.

🌻Envy brings even the most soaring element of creation crashing down; it turned mighty Azazil into accursed Iblis.

🌻Concealed envy is the most dangerous form of the serpent of envy.

🌻A person who harbors concealed envy appears outwardly a butterfly, but inwardly is a viper.

🌻A person is more exposed to envy on account of religion and piety.

🌻Envy has many branches: economic, social, political, military, religious, and so on.

🌻When the sun shines more brightly overhead, human eyes grow brighter too. Envying the sun means envying the light of one’s own eyes.

🌻To envy the stars, flowers, gardens, and orchards is to envy one’s own wealth and interests.

🌻A believer is the wealth and capital of another believer.

🌻Before the beauty of the Imam’s whispered prayers, the turbans of the prophets sent as messengers fall away. Imam Zayn al-Abidin is the Imam of sublime wealth and spiritual capital.

🌻To overcome envy, one must be immersed in God’s grandeur and steep one’s thoughts in divine power; one must devote one’s strength and energy to planning the destruction of God’s enemies.
