Worship requires love; that is, I should say prayer and worship God with passion and affection, because if there is no love, there is no willingness either.

Going beyond the limits set by Allah Almighty in religion and strictness in setting up religious affairs cause some people to turn away from religion. Someone complained about a congregational prayer for prolonging the prayer to and the Holy Prophet (PBUH), and the Holy Prophet considered this as something that makes people hate religion

The commanding soul invites mankind to evil. The one who is afflicted by carnal desires must be certain that the soul's desire for sins is unquenchable. The most beloved servant is the one who has been helped by Allah Almighty to stand against all illegitimate desires.

In the time of conflict and violence, the one who keeps silent more is in fact victorious. The commander of faithful, Imam Ali (peace be upon him) says: when you fail in speaking, try not to fail in silence; in other words, never let the silence of others prevails yours.

Ghurar al-Hikam: 5378

God, the Merciful, seeks good for everything based on His wisdom and mercy, and there is no evil in His sanctuary, so all good thing is at His disposal, and I must show that His good reaches me, and if there is harm, man is the one who produces it.

Don't bother your head about someone who is the servant of God Almighty, he is of no harms for you and he is all goodness and benevolence, and the one who is not the servant of God Almighty but his own desires must not be expected any goodness and benevolence from.

لا تُمارِ فَيَذْهَبَ بَهاؤُكَ وَ لا تُمازِحْ فَيُجْتَرَأَ عَلَيْكَ.

Imam Hassan Askari (AS): Do not argue with people because your value will be lost and do not joke with them either because they will be bold with you.

If you want to make your prayers costly, you need to do what Imam Zayn al-Abedin (A.S) used to do. After interring the Master of the Martyrs, Imam Hussein (A.S), he took a handful of soil from beside his grave and used to prostrate on it in his prayers.  

The irreligious people of west and east cannot blur the light of religion of Islam, but the bad-tempered and violent religious figures simply blemish the face of religion by their cruel behavior. Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) says: the prayerful servant who is ignorant will damage Islam massively with his or her unscrupulous behavior.

The prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny) says: Fatima is the dearest creature for me.

Amali Sheikh Toosi: 24

The Messenger of Allah says: The time I appear on the day of resurrection; with one hand I bring the Holy Quran and with the other my household (Ahlulbayt) and say to the Lord of the universe: ask every single person of my nation about what they did with the Holy Quran and my household after my demise? Namely, we are responsible for the Ahulbayt as well.

Imam Reza (as) says: silence attracts affection and it the guidance to every benevolence and righteousness, so silence is the best way to control tonque.

Why my prayers are not being answered? Where is the source of troubles? Are my parents not satisfied with me? Have I eaten an ill-gotten (Haram) food, I make someone sad? Have I resented the Imam of the time (A.S)? you have to turn your back on evils and turn your heart to God, then you see that your prayers are answered!

The religion has commanded us not to talk about our sins to others, not to damage our reputation and prestige. Your repentance must only take place between you and God Almighty

Responding to the question of Imam Ali (AS) regarding what the best deeds in Ramadan month are, the Holy Prophet said: O dear Ali! The best deed is to avoid and keep yourself clean from all imperfections and all ill-gotten things (Haram)

In a letter from Imam Hasan Askari to Ali ibn Babawayh al-Qummi, it is mentioned that the Messenger of Allah has said: the best deeds is to wait for the reappearance of Imam Mahdi (a.s), and my Shias will be constantly in grief until the time when my son would fill the earth with justice and equity after it would be fraught with injustice and oppression.
