traduza o texto completamente e perfeitamente para o português Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s) has said that before you are asked to give the
account (of your deeds), audit the account yourself!
The Prophet of Islam (a.s) has said: O Abu Dharr! Modesty in front of
Allah is compulsory. If you are particular of entry to the Heaven, then
save your eyes, ears, tongue and thoughts from acts of sin. Being modest
with Allah means abstaining from evil and not committing sins.
Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s) has said, “Modesty and faith are always together. Modesty is the part and parcel of faith and so is the faith of modesty. If there is no modesty, there is no faith!”
A tradition of the Prophet (a.s): If four traits are present in a person,
the Hellfire is taboo on him even if he sinned no end. These traits are:
1. Truthfulness.
2. Humility
3. Good manners
4. Thankfulness.
349HUMILITY & FAITH
An Infallible has said, “O Abu Dharr! Humility in a person prompts one
not to forget that he would putrify in the grave. He keeps the desires of
his stomach and the head, his lust and carnal urge in control. One who is
desirous of the benefits of the Hereafter should shun the world. If you
can achieve this, you will qualify to attain the friendship and wilayat of
Allah.”
Humility (hayah) connotes curbing of instincts that put the conscience
to shame. There are two categories of humility: One category is the
height of virtuosity that brings felicity. The other category is the height
of depravity.
The quality of virtuosity is acquired when one is able to distinguish
good from evil, he starts feeling ashamed of ever quitting good deeds
and missing mandatory prayers. He submits humbly to Allah and abstains from sins that have been rated taboo by the Shariah. The acts of the
adherents (Ummat) are all presented every day to the Prophet (a.s) and
the Imams (a.s). Two angels are always alert to record the actions of the
person. If Allah removes the curtain, all the inhabitants of the firmament
would witness the acts of the human beings and put them to shame on
the Day of Reckoning in front of 124,000 Prophets (a.s) and the entire
creation.
The other category of humility is inferior. Because of ignorance a person considers an act taboo and refrains from it. This happens because of
the lack of correct knowledge. For example, sometimes they are confronted with a problem and are shy to seek an explanation from the knowledgeable. Such humility can be the cause of losing the felicity or bliss in
the Hereafter. Allah says:
Allah is not shy of the truth
The Prophet of Islam (a.s) has said that humility is of two types—
there is humility of wisdom and also there is humility of foolishness. The
cause of the humility of wisdom is sagacity and knowledge. The humility of foolishness is because of ignorance and lack of knowledge.
Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s) has said, “One whose forehead is narrow, will
have scanty knowledge.O people! Don’t be ashamed of acquiring
knowledge!”
The Prophet of Islam (a.s) has said, Shunning humility is the cause of
all ills and sins. Humility is of two kinds. One is attended with weakness
of intellect and lack of knowledge. The other type connotes the strength
of Islam and the Faith.
350Hazrat Eesa (a.s) says, “One who wishes the privacy of his home must
put up a curtain. Allah has endowed humility to people as He has endowed them with the means of livelihood.”
