A question about books of encouragement and warning: I find myself perplexed by what I see in examples such as warning of death and what comes after it, and its severity, and that even the Messenger of Allah (May Allah bless him and his family and grant them peace) emphasized upon him; and likewise statements attributed to Imam Ali (Peace be Upon Him); and likewise warnings about what is after death\u2014stations of the grave, the gathering, and other matters. And in these books they do not differentiate between a believer, an open sinner, or a disbeliever\u2014although, according to my limited knowledge, I have not seen in the Qur\u2019an verses that mention severity, punishment, or hardship upon a believer after his death until his entry into Paradise; rather, all of them give him glad tidings and make him rejoice.
\nAnd also, it is from reason that the abode of recompense\u2014if there must be, therein, constriction for the believer\u2014then how can he keep away and be safe, when there is no way for him out of that by any deed, so long as even the prophets are in constriction and distress, and others? This is one aspect\u2026
\nAnd another aspect, for example: they magnify everything, so it falls, when they magnify a matter as a facilitation for something else; for example, they say: Indeed, backbiting is worse than adultery because \u2026 etc., and everyone knows that adultery is a tremendous obscenity; and this is an example, and there is much.
\nAnd also, magnifying some acts of worship\u2014for example: remaining in the mosque after the dawn prayer until sunrise is like two pilgrimages and two \u2018umrahs; so what is the benefit of fatigue and spending wealth and effort in voluntary Hajj and \u2018Umrah, otherwise what is meant?
\nAnd of that: censuring wealth and its earning even if it is from the lawful, to the extent that if applied people would refrain from work, while the Qur\u2019an and the life of the Messenger of Allah (May Allah bless him and his family and grant them peace) and the Ahl al-Bayt are full of calling to work and to build the self and the society economically, and what is in that of benefit in spreading religion and truth and good; for we see the domination of the economy now over everything, even over politics, and whoever does not possess his sustenance does not possess his decision).
\nAnd also, we see in the chapter of the believer\u2019s joy at death and his love for it for the meeting with Allah, then we find another chapter that magnifies death and makes it something harsh.
\nSo, clarify what has occurred of the problems, and increase us in benefit and analysis, so that the inner conflicts may be removed by the balm of your overflowing knowledge; and may you remain for us and for the Muslims a good example and a light; and peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah, and His blessings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
