They think that they are the actual owners; therefore, they behave with these blessings as they like and as their tendencies, lusts, and wishes lead them.
These people live in adversity and ignorance when they use these Divine blessings in the satanic way, and in ...

The worldly life in its religious meaning is the way of man’s relation with all the constituents of nature and all what makes his life and survival continue.

The thirtieth sin, which is mentioned as a Greater sin, is 'not helping the oppressed people' and 'not warding off oppression from them'. In the tradition of Amash, Imam Ja'far as-Sadiq (a.s.) says, "…and not helping the oppressed (is a greater sin)."

Imam Musa al-Kazim (a.s.) says: "If a person ...

A person using an article without the owner's permission has to give it back immediately or ask permission for its use. ...

And this is itself another great sign of the wonder of the Qur'an. For the Prophet, according to the definite ...

Since none of us really knew about these things, the teacher told us to find out all about them for tomorrow's lesson. Hearing this my ...
