People do not become faithful out of the blue: They attain faith if they are proqerly educated. Religion stands on teaching.

The best thing to do is to increase the consciousness of faith; talking about the facts leading to faith, talking about the miracles of the Qur'an, instilling love for God to the minds and souls of people.

A Muslim would be aware of evil plottings but would not be distressed about them; that is because God is the One Who creates them as well, so a Muslim should keep his calm.

A Muslim should be steadfast. I mean he should refrain from losing his temper or getting angry.

The artistry of God is being very gloriously manifested in the human cell. If we could put a person inside a cell and let him live there for a week, his forehead would never stop prostrating. People have weak faith because they cannot see that properly, because they cannot see those worlds.

If a person could get inside a chromosome and witness that system he could never stop prostrating all his life. If he could enter a human cell, if he could become a protein and witness the working system there, if he could carry out the duty of a protein himself, if he could wander around inside a cell he would be out of breath with awe, he would fall in love with God. One should be able to get inside that, inside that human cell with his heart, with his mind.

One’s connection to God should never be severed. If one severs his connection to God, he would lose his trust and submission to God. Once that happens, he would become very tense, angry and uneasy. Submission to God is one of the greatest blessings on Earth that should never be forgotten, even for a second.

Faith in the level of "perception of truth" cannot be experienced by everyone; in fact it is very rarely seen. If it were, everyone would have been like a Mahdi, just like Jesus Messiah. But that doesn't happen. People become Muslims, they simply submit. However, God accepts it as genuine faith.

Believing in God is what makes people happy the most, it is what beautifies them the most, it is what brings about plentitude and abundance, it is what brings about joy. It is the greatest beauty of Heaven for all eternity. Having faith in God is the greatest blessing of all, and so is love as a beauty having faith in God bestows upon us. This is the source of life; it is the cause of life.

There is a rage in the hearts of some people towards people of faith. For instance, they behave perfectly respectful towards a profane person and speak in a very appraising fashion with them. But when they come across a Muslim they feel a strange, evil rage; that is an evil instinct one should seek refuge in God. But of course that is something in favor of a Muslim. It enables Muslims to attain good deeds every minute, every hour without doing anything.

Some people can act very audaciously towards Muslims. Actually Muslims are the ones who should be respected and loved. One can only feel a measure of compassion towards profane people with the aim of saving them.

Patience is a characteristic of Muslims; leaving behind the perks of this world requires patience, hearing a sharp and unbecoming remark requires patience, every topic requires patience.

One would be happy and have his mind relieved when he performs his prayers, when he performs ablution, when he submits to God’s will, mentions the Name of God, reads the Qur’an. God has created man in a way that he would feel that need. One would be suffocated if he doesn’t live all these beauties. These are all blessings that prevent one to be drawn in that water, these are lifesaving blessings.

Submitting to God’s Will is the greatest comfort in this world. Palaces wouldn’t make one happy, but submitting to God’s Will would. Once you submit to God’s Will, all sufferrings would dissappear. That is because man is created as weak. God has created this as a blessing to man.

Patience is for a life time. We will love God for all eternity. You will only be tested for 70 years the most. But God will let you live in happiness for all eternity. Seventy years of training, everything you show patience for will exalt you; make you more beautiful and radiant.

We should always be asking for perfect faith and submission to God. A Muslim should constantly ask for that blessing saying; “O Lord, make me a servant of yours with perfect faith.” That is because it is a great blessing.

One should put his trust in God. If you do not put your trust in God everything would give you pain, you would be bored of everything. Everything would make you afraid, everything would overwhelm you. All the incidents in the world would seem to come at you. As the verse of the Qur’an refers, God makes such people’s breasts narrow and constricted as if they were climbing up into the sky. One should submit to God for his heart to be at ease.

God takes patience as a basis. This is a place for trial. It would not be possible to get instant results. There has to be an enduring, long period of time. We need to go through a trial.

One needs to look and admire the rich details in God's creating. Then the love one feels for God would increase even further. When love increases so does the fear of God. When fear of God increases, so does your submission to God. When your submission to God increases, it would be as if your nerves are taken. Your mind would be at ease and you would be very much relieved. You would feel a sense of relief, a sense of contentment and ease insha'Allah.

Sometimes God gives a rank to some people, gives them power, gives them means. You would not be a person of guidance if you say, "Why did God give him such a rank? Why did He give that person that easiness?" A person who -May God forbid - questions God would not be a person of guidance. One should say, "There is a goodness, a benevolence behind this. God knows but I don't."

God rewards a Muslim quietly. One might say, "I am in misery." God would reward you, if you are patient. If you are not patient, if you constantly complain, how can you expect anything good? Complaining would mean rebellion against God - may God forbid.

If a person is patient, if he constantly thanks God, God would open the doors to him where he least expects. But because they constantly complain, blessings do not come upon them.

God says " If you are grateful, I will certainly give you increase." They do not believe in this. They say "No, that is not what is going to happen." And as long as you keep saying it won't happen, you will continue to grovel.

Patience and determination are two characteristics of the students of the Mahdi (pbuh).

A great majority of people might be in a forgetful mindset regarding God; one should not see them as real and be affected by them. God might be showing those people to him in such a state. For instance, one might be going to a disco or a nightclub and people there might not even say one word about God. He should not say, “So this is how people are. This is how this world works. Is there something wrong with me?” He should know that he is on the right path and the others have gone astray.
