A scholar who acts not according to his knowledge is like the off-headed ignorant who does not find relief from his ignorance, but on the learned the plea of Allah is greater and grief more incumbent, and he is more blameworthy before Allah. (Imam Ali (AS) sermon #109)

The Prophet, peace be upon him and his progeny, said Allah, Most High, says: “Grace and Blessing are My gift to My momin servant. If he accepts them, that is My mercy and from Me. And if he rejects them, that is because of his sins which deprive him; and it is his doing and not Mine. And I have guided every creature to Faith, and fashioned him in a shapely manner. And I never made him a victim of miserliness, for I always wished him good.” (Hadith Qudsi, narrated in Al Amali, ch. 31, h.#1)

Allah knows hidden matters and is aware of inner feelings. Hu encompasses everything. Hu has control over everything and power over everything. (Imam Ali (AS) sermon #85)

Ya Allah, bless Muhammad and his Household, cause my Iman to reach the most perfect Iman, make my certainty the most excellent certainty, and take my intention to the best of intentions and my works to the best of works! (Imam Sajjad (AS) dua #20)

Ya Allah, give us water through rain, helping, productive, fertilizing, widespread, plentiful, abundant, bringing back the risen, restoring the broken! (Imam Sajjad (AS), dua #19)

through which You revive what has vanished, bring forth what is coming, and provide plentiful foods, through heaped up, wholesome, productive clouds, in reverberating layers, the rain’s downpour
not without cease, the lightning’s flashes not without fruit! (Imam Sajjad (AS) dua #19)

Show kindness to Your servants through the ripening of the fruit, revive Your land through the blossoming of the flowers, and let Your angels - the noble scribes - be witness to a beneficial watering from You… (Imam Sajjad (AS) dua #19)
