As Dictated By Imam Ja’far As-Sadiq (a. s) To Al-Mufadhdhal
Part 1
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Beneficent “Intend they to put out the light of Allah with their mouths. But Allah will perfect His light, though averse may be the disbelievers. ” Qur’an, 61: 8. There has always existed a tough tug of war between the devilish forces of darkness and ignorance on the one hand, tending to disrupt harmony on the earth, and the forces of peace and order flowing from the sources of light and knowledge on the other. We do not have to go very far to seek out the reason. Man, according to his constitution, is very loath to submit to the discipline of controlled behaviour unless rightly guided by enlightened personalities through precepts and personal examples or forced by some external agonies.
