On the day of Eid-ul-Fitr
"O people! Verily this day of yours is the day when the righteous are awarded and the wretched are losers. It is a day which is similar to the one on which you shall be standing (before your Lord). Therefore, when you come out of your homes to go to places of your prayer, remind yourselves about the day when you (your souls) shall come out of your bodies to go to your Lord. When you stand on places of your prayer, remind yourselves of your standing in presence of your Lord (on the day of Judgement). And when you return to your homes (after prayer), remind yourselves about your returning to your homes in Paradise. O Servants of Allah! Verily the minimum reward for those men and women who fasted (during Ramadan), is an Angel, who calls out to them on the last day of the month of Ramadan (saying): O SERVANTS OF ALLAH! REJOICE THE GLAD TIDING THAT ALL YOUR PREVIOUS SINS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN. Therefore, watch out in those things which serve as your re-creation (on this day and days to follow)"

Tanda-Tanda orang yang celaka
Imam Ali bin Abi Thalib (sa) berkata bahwa Rasulullah saw bersabda: “Di antara empat tanda orang yang celaka: dua matanya keras (tak mampu menangis), sangat rakus dalam mencari dunia, dan mengulang-ulang dosa.” (Mustadrak Al-Wasail 11: 366)
Dosa yang tidak diampuni
Rasulullah saw bersabda: “Sesungguhnya Allah membebaskan beribu-ribu manusia dari neraka setiap hari di bulan Ramadhan pada saat berbuka. Khusus pada malam Jum’at dan hari Jum’at Allah swt membebaskan beribu-ribu manusia dari neraka setiap jam, yang semestinya mereka itu disiksa. Khusus pada hari terakhir bulan Ramadhan Allah swt membebaskan sejumlah manusia yang dibebaskan sejak awal bulan hingga hari terakhir. Khusus pada malam Al-Qadar Allah Azza wa Jalla memerintahkan malaikat Jibril turun ke bumi bersama para malaikat pencatat…Pada malam ini mereka mengucapkan salam kepada setiap manusia yang menghidupkan malam ini, ibadah, shalat dan berzikir. Para malaikat berjabatan tangan dengan mereka, mengaminkan doa mereka hingga terbit fajar. Ketika terbit fajar Jibril memanggil para malaikat: Wahai para malaikat, mari kita pergi. Para malaikat menjawab: Wahai Jibril, apa yang telah dibuat oleh Allah swt untuk hajat-hajat kaum mukminin dari ummat Muhammad saw. Jibril menjawab: “Sungguh Allah swt telah memperhatikan mereka malam ini lalu memaafkan kesalahan mereka dan mengampuni dosa-dosa mereka kecuali empat orang.” Lalu Rasulullah saw bersabda kepada para sahabatnya: “Peminum khomer, orang yang durhaka kepada kedua orang tuanya, orang yang memutuskan silaturrahim, dan orang yang dengki. Ketika malam Idul fitri tiba, malam ini dinamai malam jawaiz, Allah swt menganugerahkan pahala kepada orang-orang yang beramal baik tanpa perhitungan.” (Al-Mustadrak 7: 429)
Rasulullah saw bersabda: “Allah swt memerintahkan kepada malaikat untuk berseru setiap hari di bulan Ramadhan: “Berbahagialah wahai hamba-hamba-Ku, kalian telah diampuni dosa-dosanya yang lalu, dan Aku akan memberi pertolongan kepada sebagian kalian pada malam Al-Qadar karena sebagian yang lain kecuali orang yang batal puasanya karena mabuk atau dengki kepada saudaranya sesama muslim.” (Al-Mustadrak 7: 475)
281 - the fortunate people who adopt piety as the principle of their lives and are fully attentive to their welfare for the Hereafter
"Yes, Amirul Mo'minin (Commander of the Faithful) ! I am awake".
Mola Ali (a.s) said:
"Nawf! Those are the fortunate people who adopt piety as the principle of their lives and are fully attentive to their welfare for the Hereafter. They accept bare earth as the most comfortable bed and water as the most pleasant drink. They adopt the Holy Qur'an and prayers as their guide and protector and like Prophet Jesus Christ (Isa) they forsake the world and its vicious pleasure. Nawf! Prophet David (Daud) once got up at such an hour in the night and said this was the hour when prayers of everyone who prayed were accepted except of those who forcibly collected revenues or who were scandal- mongers or were persons in the police force of a despotic regime or were musicians".

280 - Mola Ali (a.s)'s garment was very old with patches on it
"Such dresses, when worn by men of status make them submissive to Allah and kind-hearted towards others and the faithful Muslims can conveniently follow the example. Vicious pleasures of this world and salvation are like two enemies or two roads running in opposite directions or towards opposite poles, one to the North and the other to the South. Whoever likes to gain the pleasures and pomps of this world will hate austerity in life which is necessary to gain salvation. Reverse will be the attitude of a man desirous of achieving Eternal Bliss. One has to adopt either of the two ways of life, and as they both cannot be brought together, a man has to choose one of them."

The best friend of our Holy Prophet (s.a.w.w) is he who, though not related to him, obeys the orders of Allah and his greatest enemy is the man who though related to him, disobeys Allah."

271 - welfare does not lie in your having enormous wealth and numerous children
being well-off or well-provided for, Imam (a.s) replied:
"Your welfare does not lie in your having enormous wealth and numerous children but it rests in your being highly educated and forbearing and in your being proud of your obedience to Allah. If you do a good deed then thank Allah for it and if you commit a sin then repent and atone for it. In this world there is a real welfare for two kinds of people, one is the person who, when commits a sin, atones for it and the other is anxious to do good as much as possible."

270 - wealth and children are temptations (al-Anfal, 8: 28)
Though Allah knows them better than even they know themselves, yet those trials and tests are for the purpose of their realizing and knowing those deeds which merit reward or which deserve punishment. There are some people who love to have male children and hate daughters and there are some who simply crave for wealth and hate poverty."

265 - two things in this world which softened the Wrath of Allah
"There were two things in this world which softened the Wrath of Allah and prevented its descent upon man: One has been taken away from you; hold the other stead- fastly. The one which has been taken away from men is the Holy Prophet and the one which is still left with them and which they must hold steadfastly is repentance and atonement for sins because Allah at one place in the Holy Book addressed the Holy Prophet and said:
Allah would not punish them while you were among them nor while they were asking for forgiveness. (Surah Anfal, 8 : 33)"
