Imam JaꜤfar al-Ṣādiq’s رَحْمَۃُ اللہِ عَلَیْہ Advice to His Son
My son, I urge you to always recite the Quran, spread the greeting of salām, call for good, forbid from evil, and mend ties with those who break them with you. If someone does not speak with you, go forward, and speak to them first. Give to whoever asks something from you.
Ensure to save yourself from talebearing, as this brings hatred into the hearts. Do not search for faults in others, as this is akin to making yourself a target [of criticism and abuse].
Dear Islamic brothers! Let us pause and reflect upon the advice we have heard so far. If we implement everything discussed, we will find ourselves living amazingly blissful lives. Yet, remember! This will only happen when we take this priceless wisdom and beautiful principles, and practically implement them into our lives. We must try our absolute best to see results.
The semblance of those who disobey Allah Almighty
The sixth advice Imam JaꜤfar Al-Ṣādiq رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه gave his son was:
If you wish to meet anyone, meet with the pious. Whoever disobeys Allah is like a rock from which water does not flow, a tree with no greenery, or ground upon which grass does not grow.[1]
A shining example of refinement, Imam Mūsā Kāẓim رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه
Dear Islamic brothers! In summary, the advice of Imam JaꜤfar Al-Ṣādiq رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه is:
True wealth is to be pleased with what Allah has apportioned.
The shortcomings of others should be veiled.
