Lesson one hundred twenty six :Non conformity of belief with action
Imam Ali Ebne Hossein( A. S. )says:
الا وَ إِنَّ أَبْغَضُ النّاسِ الَى اللّهِ مَنْ يَقْتَدىِ بِسُنَّةِ امامٍ وَ لايَقْتَدىِ بِاعْمالِهِ
Translation
The most hated people before God are those who have accepted leadership of an Imam, but do not follow his actions..
Brief description
One of the great faults of man is non conformity of his belief and action. He believes in something, but no trace of that belief is practically observed in his action.
He believes in God, but rejects constant observation on his deeds in practice. He believes in the great court of God, but has actually no normal readiness for it.
He believes in Prophet( S. A. )as the greatest prophet and Imam Ali) A. S. (as the highest leader, but he does not have any similarity with them in his action. That is to say his belief is in one direction, and his action is in the other.
