Pearl of Wisdom

'An Imam from among us can only be infallible. Infallibility is not an outward physical feature that can be noticed which is why it must be documented [in the Qur?an or traditions].' He was then asked, ?O son of the Prophet, and what does infallible mean?' to which he replied, 'It refers to one who clings fast to the rope of Allah, and the rope of Allah is the Qur?an. They do not separate from each other until the Day of Resurrection, and the Imam guides to the Qur'an and the Qur'an guides to the Imam, which is the purport of Allah's saying [in the Qur?an]: Verily this Qur?an guides to what is most upright.?

Sermon 38 About naming of doubt as such and disparagement of those in doubt

Doubt is named doubt because it resembles truth. As for lovers of Allah, their conviction serves them as light and the direction of the right path (itself) serves as their guide; while the enemies of Allah, in time of doubt call to misguidance in the darkness of doubt and their guide is blindness (of intelligence). One who fears death cannot escape it nor can one who fears for eternal life secure it.
