The benefits of seeking guidance from the righteous people

SHAFAQNA – It is narrated from Imam Sajjad (AS) who said: O’ people, beware that you cannot escape from the eternal Divine Domination and seek refuge in any other power. Certainly, Allah (SWT) is observing your deeds, and soon your deeds will be presented to God, and you will be gathered by God; therefore, derive benefits from guidance and recommendations offered by the righteous, and nurture and educate yourselves by them [1]. In this regard, Imam Sajjad also said: The person, who does not have a guide, will be destroyed [2]. In another narration, Imam Sajjad (AS) said: O’ the child of Adam (AS), as long as you have a preacher inside yourself, and you intend to reflect and account for your deeds, you are facing goodness and righteousness [3].
