Pearl of Wisdom
'Trials are of three kinds: love of women [unlawfully], and this is the sword of the devil; drinking of wine, and this is the snare of the devil; and the love of dinars and dirhams, which is the arrow of the devil. So those who love women will not benefit from life, and those who love drinking will be barred from Heaven, and those who love the dinar and dirham are slaves of the world.'
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as] Bihar al-Anwar, v. 73, p. 140, no. 12

Spirituality - How to Pray to God |
|
In the Holy Qur'an
Woe to those who pray but who are unmindful of their prayers (107:4-5)
Establish the prayer for My remembrance (20:14)
DO not be amongst those who are unmindful (7:205)
In the Traditions
The Prophet said, "Know that Allah does not answer supplication from a heedless and distracted heart."
The Prophet said, "Seize the opportunity to supplicate during tenderness (of heart) for verly it is a mercy."
The Propher said, "Whoever prays two cycles of prayer, and does not allow his mind to wander to the affairs of this world, will be forgiven for the wrong action he has committed earlier."
Imam Ali said, "Cajole your soul tactfully to worship, and be gently with it and do not force it. Make allowances for both its weariness and its activity, except for the daily obligations that are incumbent upon it, for it must fulfil them and undertake them at their prescribed times."
