Esra NEWS Agency: The first weekly Akhlaq session of Ayatollah Javadi Amoli has been started again.
Ayatollah Javadi Amoli continued to discuss the 108th Wisdom of Nahj al -Balagha,.
His Eminence stated, “This wisdom, which is the explanation of the heart and the teachings about the heart, is one of the luminous and extensive words of his Holiness (pbuh) which is narrated by Zerar. When Zerrar bin Zamre came about Umayyad, Mu'awiyah asked him to speak about Ali ibn Abi Talib, and Zerrar quoted this Hadith from Amir al -Mu'minin. In the book of Completion of Nahj al -Balagha, the luminous words of Amir Al-Mu’minin were collected in five sections of sermons, letters, words, recommendations and prayers, and Sayyid Razi in Nahj al -Balagha has only quoted some of his words and did not bring the complete Hadith (only parts related to Balagha). This luminous Hadith is part of the extensive Hadith and just part of it was quoted in Nahj Al-Balagha.”
He stated, “In anthropology, there are luminous discussions in the Holy Qur'an and the word of the Ahlul -Bayt. The Holy Qur'an considers human to have physical dimensions and a heavenly spirit, and when they speak of self -knowledge, they sometimes speak it in natural part of philosophy discussion and sometimes discuss it in theology for it has none physical dimension. intellectual affairs are for reason, the motivational affairs are for the heart.”
He then stated, “If the heart is moderate, it has attributes and Amir Al-Mu’menin describing it. If it is not trained, many of the divine blessings that are given to it will increase it or decrease it; Either it uses it more or less than moderation. The previous scholars in the ethics technique said wisdom, courage and the like, each of these titles has two sides. One is extreme and the other is condensed the moderation of these attributes that is good and decent Ethics was summarized in the central core.”
He then stated in the description of this wisdom, “Zerrar quotes Amir as saying that there is a center and a piece of meat called the heart that has a lot of work. This heart is the material that has thought and motivation, believes in knowledge given by Allah and his thought is the practical branch of the soul. But why the heart is so great because it understands both wisdom and the opposites of wisdom. وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ لَهُ مَوَادَّ مِنَ الْحِكْمَةِ وَ أَضْدَاداً مِنْ خِلَافِهَا”
He said, “Amir al -Mu’minin then mentions the examples فَإِنْ سَنَحَ لَهُ الرَّجَاءُ أَذَلَّهُ الطَّمَعُ Optimism is good, hope is good, but if it is more than moderation, it will be greed and after greed it is ravenous. These two are vice.”
By stating another thing that a person should be moderated is anger and happiness, he said, “Amir al-Mominin says, “وَ إِنْ عَرَضَ لَهُ الْغَضَبُ اشْتَدَّ بِهِ الْغَيْظُ، وَ إِنْ أَسْعَدَهُ [الرِّضَا] الرِّضَى نَسِيَ التَّحَفُّظَ” one should use his anger against falsehood, that is what the Holy Quran says (ولیجدوا فیکم غلظة) It means that you do not attack and kill, but be so powerful that the enemy is afraid of you and does not dare to attack you, and others fear you. Therefore, unnecessary anger, whether in family affairs, in your own country or abroad, is a waste of blessings. Also, in happiness, one should have boundaries and maintain the moderation.”
He then went on to explain another part of these wisdom and expressed, “Fear is also a good blessing, but it should be moderated, that is, a person should be afraid of disease to live hygienically and fear the enemy to live powerfully, not to be afraid and withdraw. Also, if a person got power, he should know that power is a good blessing that he must moderate, because if he does not know the truth of this power, he will become proud, and when he becomes proud, his intellectual abilities will be taken away from him.”
He stated at the end, “After mentioning these examples, Amirul Momineen said, “فَكُلُّ تَقْصِيرٍ بِهِ مُضِرٌّ وَ كُلُّ إِفْرَاطٍ لَهُ مُفْسِد،” more or less than the moderated amount is bad and vice. In all scientific and practical aspects, both excess is bad and lacks is bad, and onemust always work in the central core, which is called wisdom; The hadith “خیر الامور اوسطها” means that. However, if someone like infallible Imam, who himself is the straight path and the balance of action, the moderation for him is different. For him, the best things are the highest, the most, the strongest, and the best, that's why Imam Mojtaba, peace be upon him, gives away all his property. For him this does not mean extravagance because he knows to whom he is giving this property and why he is giving it.”
