Imam Ali (R.A) ki Taaleemat aur Mumineen ki Shakhsiyat

Imam Ali (R.A) ne farmaya: "Momineen ki khushi unke chehre par hoti hai, aur unka gham unke dil mein. Woh sab se ziada sabr wala aur sab se ziada apni rooh ko neechay rakhne wala hota hai. Woh uchaayi ko nafrat karta hai aur shohrat ko nafrat karta hai. Uska gham lamba hota hai, aur uski fikr door hoti hai. Woh ziada chup rehta hai aur uska waqt mashghool hota hai. Woh shukr guzaar aur sabir hota hai. Uska zehan apni soch mein ghira hota hai, aur uski khudai chhupi hoti hai. Woh khud ki soorat se asaan hota hai, aur uska rang naram hota hai. Uska nafs siltan se ziada sakht hota hai, aur woh ghulam se ziada neechay hota hai.” (Nahj al-Balagha, J4, S.79)

Yeh wasf momineen ki shakhsiyat ko bayan karta hai jo tawun aur riza ka izhar karta hai, aur jo apne imaan ki quwat aur Allah ke saamne apne kamzor hone ka aqlan tasfiyah karta hai.

Sheikh Hassan al-Basri’s Sayings on the Believer

• Sheikh Hassan al-Basri: "Momineen naate hain, na ke naye tareeqe ikhtiyaar karte hain.” (Al-Ghunya li Talibi al-Haq, S. 4)
• Sheikh Hassan al-Basri (continued): "Momineen woh azeem akalmand aur baahush shaks hota hai, aur jab Allah usay zyada rahm kare, to woh Allah se zyada khauf khata hai.” (The great Tabi’i Hassan al-Basri, S. 38)
• Sheikh Hassan al-Basri (final words): "Momineen sab se behtareen kaam karte hain, aur Allah se sab se zyada khauf karte hain. Agar woh Allah ki raah mein Uhud ke pahaad ke barabar sona kharch karain, to bhi woh tab tak puri hifazat ka ehsaas nahi karte jab tak woh khud isey na dekhein, aur woh hamesha kehte hain, ‘Main bacha nahi, main bacha nahi.'” (Same source, S. 38-39)

Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq’s Teachings on the Believer

Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq (A.S) ne kaha: "Chaar cheezein hain jo agar kisi mein ho to usay mumin kaha jata hai: sachai, haya, accha akhlaq, aur shukriya.” (Imam al-Sadiq: Ilm aur Aqeedah, S. 135)

Mumin in sifat se musallas hota hai jo uske sulook ko Shari’ah ke usool se milata hai aur uske dil mein imaan ko zinda rakhta hai.

Sheikh Ali Ibn Dawood al-Akki’s Teachings on Self-Examination

"Momineen apne aap ko har halaat, amal, dhyaan aur qusay mein Allah ka dushman samajhte hain.” (Al-Malamatiyyah, S. 111)
Iska matlab hai ke mumin apne aap ko hamesha monitor karta hai, aur apne har ek amal ko daryaft karta hai, chahe woh kitni bhi chhoti baat ho.

Imam Musa al-Kadhim’s Description of the Believer

"Uske paas deen mein quwat, narmayi mein azm, yaqeen mein imaan, fiqh mein junoon, hidayat mein jazbaat, istiqamat mein karam, sabr mein ilm, hikmat mein tawajjo, sachai mein bakhshish, ghareebi mein ahemiyat, qudrat mein maafi, Allah ki ibadat mein nasihat, khudayi hararat mein farq, nafrat mein rahm, jahaad mein azm, shauq mein dua, aur mushkil mein sabr hai. Jab zindagi ke khataat hotay hain to woh pur sukoon hota hai, aur jab asaani hoti hai to woh shukr ada karta hai. Woh kabhi bhi doosron ka badnami nahi karta, na wo ghuroor karta hai, na woh rishte todta hai, na woh ghareeb hota hai, na woh sakht hota hai, na woh hamesha badnami karta hai, na woh nafrat karta hai, woh apne paise ko waste nahi karta, woh loote hue logo ki madad karta hai, aur gareeb ki rahmati hai. Uska apna soul pareshani mein hota hai, aur doosre log usse sukoon paate hain.” (Imam al-Kadhim ki Seerat, S. 10-11)

Sheikh Ahmad ibn Asim al-Antaki’s Teachings on the Believer

"Momineen woh hai jo apne halat mein apne rabb ka bandah hai, jo is duniya ko nafrat karta hai, akhiraat ki muhabbat rakhta hai, apni taqat ka zariya apne taqwa se banata hai, aur apni sha’oor ko apni dhikr se rakh kar apni manzil talash karta hai.” (Haqqaiq al-Tafseer, S. 888)

Sheikh kehte hain ke mumin apne dil ki taraf apna rukh Allah ki taraf rakhta hai, aur woh sirf wohi chahta hai jo Allah ko pasand hai.

Sheikh Dhul-Nun al-Misri’s Definition of the True Believer

"Momineen ki haqeeqi sifat yeh hai ke woh sukoon ko hataata hai aur ta’aat mein apna jahaad dalta hai.” (Same source, S. 1057)

Ibadat aur ta’aat mein wusul karna mumin ki asli shakhsiyat hai, jo Allah ke paas apni hamaaree mahsoos karna chahta hai.

Sheikh Abu Yazid al-Bistami’s View of the Believer

"Momineen ka asal cheez hai, jo kis bhi jagah pe ho, uske saamne mashriq aur maghrib hamesha maujood hote hain, aur woh har jagah se apne hisse ka faida uthata hai.” (Shatahat al-Sufiya, S. 144)

Sheikh Bistami ki nazar mein mumin ek roohani joher hai, jo har jagah Allah ke noor ko samajhne ki qudrat rakhta hai.

Sheikh Sahl ibn Abdullah al-Tustari’s View on the Believer

"Momineen woh hai jo apna chehra rakhta hai bina pichlay, woh uss amal mein kabhi bhi nahi ruka, aur Allah ke deen mein apna kaam jari rakhta hai.” (Tafseer al-Quran al-Azim, S. 98)

Woh apne aap ko uski ta’aat mein lagaata hai, aur kabhi bhi mushkilon ka samna karte waqt nahi rukta.

Sheikh Abu Bakr al-Kalabadhi’s Definition of the Believer

"Momineen ka dil Islam ke noor se roshan hota hai, uska dil apne rabb ki taraf se moor hai, aur uska dil Allah ki shuhudat mein hai.” (Al-Taaruf li Madhhab Ahl al-Tasawwuf, S. 82)

Momineen ka dil hamesha Allah ki taraf mehsoos hota hai, aur har waqt apni zindagi mein Allah ka rasta ikhtiyar karta hai.

Sheikh Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami’s View of the Believer

"Momineen ki sifat woh hai jaise zameen jo cheezon ko jhelti hai aur unme faida hota hai.” (Haqqaiq al-Tafseer, S. 278)

Momineen apni zindagi ki mushkilon ko iss tarah samajh kar apni taqat mein hai.

Finally, the Great Qutb Abdul Qadir al-Jilani’s Description of the Believer

"Momineen apne gham ko apne chehre par chhupata hai, uska zahir kaam karte waqt hilta hai, aur andar se apne rab se raahat paata hai.” (Al-Fath al-Rabbani wa al-Faydh al-Rahmani, S. 38)

Momineen apne chehre par muskaan rakh kar apne gham ko chhupata hai, aur apne har kaam mein Allah ke liye ikhlas rakhta hai.

Sheikh Ibn Ata Allah al-Sakandari’s Final Thought on the Believer

"Momineen woh hai jo Allah ke shukriya mein itna masroof hota hai ke apne aap ko shukriya nahi deta.” (Taj al-Arous al-Hawi li Tahdhib al-Nufus, S. 31)

Momineen apni zindagi mein hamesha Allah ka shukriya karte hue apne aap ke bare mein sochne ka waqt nahi nikaalta.
