SHAFAQNA – There are people who are sunk so deep in the world affairs that they have been kept away from thinking of correcting themselves and the excessive love of the world has captured them totally. I have also seen some of these people myself who supposedly are also among learned ones and they consider religion as empty and nothing. My son, be careful, as none of us can be sure of not falling in this Satanic trap. My dear, recite the supplications of the infallible Imams (AS) and find out (how they) considered their good deeds as nothing and were hopeful of God’s mercy only [1].
