SHAFAQNA – It is narrated from Imam Baqer (AS) who said: God has asked human beings for two characters; one is to confess to Almighty’s blessings and gifts which is beneficial to them because by doing so, Allah (SWT) will increase blessings to them. The second is to confess to the committed sins, in order for those sins to be forgiven by God. Therefore, human being must always rely on the Almighty’s grace and mercy [1].
