موجِباتُ رِضوانِ اللّه‏ِ

Factors that Elicit Allah's Pleasure

1ـ رُويَ أنّ موسى (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) قالَ: يا رَبِّ ، دُلَّني على عَمَلٍ إذا أنا عَمِلتُهُ نِلتُ بهِ رِضاكَ . فَأوحَى اللّه‏ُ إلَيهِ: يابنَ عِمرانَ ، إنّ رِضايَ في كُرهِكَ ولَن تُطِيقَ ذلكَ ... فَخَرَّ موسى (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ساجِداً باكِياً فقالَ: يا رَبِّ ، خَصَصتَنِي بالكَلامِ ، ولَم تُكَلِّمْ بَشَراً قَبلِي ، ولَم تَدُلَّني على عَمَلٍ أنَالُ بهِ رِضاكَ ! فَأوحَى اللّه‏ُ إلَيهِ: إنّ رِضاي في رِضاكَ بِقَضائي.

1– It has been narrated that Prophet Moses (AS) addressed Allah, saying, 'My Lord, guide me to an action the performance of which will earn me Your good pleasure.’ So Allah revealed to him, 'O son of Amran, verily My pleasure lies in that which you will be averse to and you will not be able to endure it.’ So Moses fell prostrate, weeping and cried out, 'My Lord! You have selected me to speak to when You have not spoken to any before me, and yet You do not guide me to that action by which I may earn Your pleasure!’ So Allah revealed to him, 'Verily My pleasure lies in your pleasure with whatever I decree.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 82, p. 143, no. 17]

2ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): ثلاثٌ يُبلِغْنَ بالعَبدِ رِضوانَ اللّه‏ِ: كَثرَةُ الاستِغفارِ ، وخَفْضُ الجانِبِ ، وكَثرَةُ الصَّدَقَةِ.

2– Imam Ali (AS) said, 'Three things enable a servant to attain Allah's pleasure: persistence in seeking forgiveness, affability towards people, and frequent giving of charity.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 78, p. 81, no. 74]

3ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): مَن أسخَطَ بَدَنَهُ أرضى رَبَّهُ ، ومَن لَم يُسخِطْ بَدَنَهُ عَصى رَبَّهُ.

3– Imam Ali (AS) said, 'He who dissatisfies his body earns Allah's pleasure, and he who is not willing to dissatisfy his body defies Allah.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 70, p. 312, no. 11]

4ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): أوصاكُم بالتَّقوى ، وجَعَلَها مُنتَهى رِضاهُ وحاجَتَهُ مِن خَلقِهِ.

4– Imam Ali (AS) said, 'He [Allah] has advised you to be Godwary in all things, and has made it the height of His good pleasure and His sole requirement from His creatures.’[Nahj al-Balagha, Sermon 183]

5ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): رِضا اللّه‏ِ سبحانَهُ مَقرونٌ بطاعَتِهِ.

5– Imam Ali (AS) said, 'Allah's pleasure is linked to His obedience.’[Ghurar al-Hikam, no. 5410]

6ـ الإمامُ زينُ العابدينَ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنَّ أرضاكُم عِندَ اللّه‏ِ أسبَغُكُم على عِيالِهِ.

6– Imam Zayn al-Abidin (AS) said, 'Verily the one who Allah is most pleased with from among you is the one who is the most generous towards his own dependents.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 78, p. 136, no. 13]

Mastrubation is a major sin (Gunah-e-Kabira)

By -
Once, 'Ammar ibn Musa asked Imam Sadiq [a] about commiting sexual intercourse with beasts or masterbation by the hand or other limbs of one's ownself, and he [a] replied: "Any form of these kinds and the like of them by which man pours forth his water, is (considered as) fornication (and it is unlawful)." AI-Kafi, vol. 5, p. 541 Question: What is the situation of Islam towards masturbation? Some youths say that doctors think it has no harm. The answer: Not all that doctors say is true. There are other doctors that say the opposite. What is important to us is what our Wise Creator says. He is more aware of His creatures. Islam, which is the speech of Allah, is clear in its verdicts. The Prophet (S) and his progeny have prohibited it. Masturbation is a filthy doing. Some traditions have called it as “adultery with oneself”. It does not fit the dignity of a respectable man. The clearest evidence on its ugliness is that the doer feels disgust with himself after
