Believer’s wisdom

SHAFAQNA -  Imam Reza (AS) said: A believer’s wisdom will not be accomplished without having 10 characteristics.

  1. People expect from him/her good deeds
  2. Harms no one
  3. Considers others good deeds as more significant
  4. Considers his/her own good deeds as insignificant
  5. He/she will never get upset or uneasy helping others or requests for help by other people
  6. Never gets tired of learning
  7. Considers not having much in the way of God  better than having a lot (but not in God’s way)
  8. Prefers to be a servant of God rather than being praised by God’s enemies
  9. Does not like fame

10.  Will see other people better and more pious than himself/herself [1]
