SHAFAQNA – It is narrated from Imam Sajjad (AS) who said: Swear to Allah (SWT) there are events in this world which show you the discreditable nature of this world and inform you of the circulation of its days and its changeovers [1]. In this narration, Imam Sajjad (AS) pointed to changes in this world like dignity and indignity, poverty and wealth and other bitter events and calamities and difficulties in a person’s life or the life of a society; and emphasized that due to these changes and ups and downs no one can trust this world. The conclusion is that due to all these changes and events, no one is able to trust this world and the only thing we can do is to try and build a better abode for the hereafter by following Divine Commands and guidance provided by Ahlul Bait (AS).
