traduza o texto completamente e perfeitamente para o português The Prophet of Allah (a.s) has said that a momin is so important in the
consideration of the Almighty that the angels in the Heaven know him
well. The Prophet (a.s) also added that a momin sees with the light
provided by Allah.
It is narrated from the Prophet of Allah (a.s) that a momin should have
the following qualities He should be calm and collected in times of accidents and calamities, in penury he should be patient and forbearing, he
should be thankful and grateful in affluence, he should be contented
with whatever Allah provides to him, he should not be harsh with his
adversaries, he should not unjustly support his friends, he should be
ready to bear hardship for the purpose of prayer and he should be considerate and caring of others. Knowledge is a friend and companion of a
momin. Patience and tolerance are the viziers of a momin and fortitude
the chief of his forces. Camaraderie and capability are a momin’s brothers
and good behaviour and manners are like his father.
385THE QUALITIES OF A MOMIN
Imam Zain al Abedeen (a.s) says: A momin remains silent that he desires
to protect himself from sinning. He speaks with a purpose of getting reward from Allah. Whatever is told to him in confidence he never reveals
to his best of friends. What he bears witness to, he doesn’t hide from his
friends. Whatever good deed a momin does has no element of stealth in
it. He is never ashamed of performing an act of prayer and obedience. If
people praise him for his good qualities, he expresses fear that the
praises might go to his head. At such time he does istighfar seeking Allah’s protection from the Satan that the person praising him is not aware
of his faults. He doesn’t remain oblivious of his own faults not to get carried away by the talk of others. A momin is always conscious of the the
record keeers of his deeds (the karamain Katibain)
Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s) says: A momin is steadfast in his affairs of religion. Every moment he has the thought of the Hereafter in his mind. He
behaves softly and affably with others. In faith he will be in the stage of
firm belief. He will be always seeking knowledge on facts and the understanding of Allah (Maarifath). He enjoys tasks that help to enhance his
knowledge. He performs good deeds with patience and justice. Despite
possessing vast knowledge, he is humble in his behaviour with others.
Although intellectually superior, he never makes a show of this trait to
others. In the cause of truth he is bold and just. Even if he is rich, he adopts an equanimous way of life. If he is poor, he takes pride in his
poverty. He is generous to a fault and forgives when others cause him
some harm. Revenge is not in his nature. He considers goodwill for other
Muslims as obedience to Allah. He controls evil desires with great courage. Despite the pleasures of sin, he keeps himself away from such acts.
He has great desire for Jehad. While at prayer, his mind is totally dedicated to Allah. In times ofg difficulty he is patient. He is never overwhelmed with the worldly hardships. He is thankful to Allah for the
comforts and blessings available to him. He never does backbiting about
others. He always thinks well of his kinsmen and friends. He is never
tardy in doing a good deed. He is never short tempered and rude in his
behaviour with others. He controls his eyes and whenever he views anything Allah’s goodwill is always in his mind. To satisfy his palate he never does taboo things. Carnal desires never overwhelm him. He is free of
all desire of jealousy. He is not a spendthrift but is always ready to help
others to the extent possible. For making others comfortable, he is ready
to bear some hardship. He doesn’t run after worldly fame and pomp. He
386is never scared of the hardships that confront him. He can never be faulted for any act of his. When asked for his advice, he gives a considered
opinion on matters. The poor and impecunious always look forward to
his help. He abstains from foolish, bawdy and useless talk.
Someone asked the Prophet of Islam (a.s), “Kindly tell me about the
qualities of a momin.” He said, “A momin has twenty qualities. A person is
not a momin if he doesn’t have these traits, his faith (Eemaan) will not be
perfect. These traits are: A momin prays regularly, gives Zakat, feeds the
hungry, is kind to orphans, wears neat and clean clothes, does supplication to Allah with great fervor, never tells lies, he always keeps his promises, shows great integrity, always upholds the truth, supplicates during
the nights, lives boldly during the days, makes sincere effort in the way
of truth, remains awake in the nights and fasts during the day, is kind to
his neighbors, is helpful to widows, joins the funeral processions, takes
part in Jehad and walks on the land with humility. May Allah help us to
acquire the traits of a Momin.”
Imam Mohammed Baqir (a.s) narrates that someone asked the Prophet
of Islam (a.s) to give a description of good pewople. The Prophet (a.s)
replied: A good person is one from whose hands and tongue people are
safe. A good person is one who thanks Allah for the bounties endowed
on him. In times of difficulty he should be patient and equanimous.
When someone inflicts hardship on him unnecessarily, he should bear it
patiently and forgive the person. When he commits a sin, he should seek
Allah’s forgiveness (Astaghfar)
