Pearl of Wisdom
was asked by a scholar from Damascus, 'So, the thing, did He create it from something else or from nothing?' The Imam replied, 'He created a thing whereby nothing existed before it. Were He to have created from something then there would be infinite regress and there would always have been something existing alongside Allah when in actual fact Allah existed when nothing else was in existence.'
Imam Muhammad ibn Ali al-Baqir [as] al-Tawhid, p. 66, no. 20

|
The Quran mentions that “hope” (raghben) and “fear” (reheben) should co exist in praying ritual. Keeping these two conflicting feelings in balance will save us from despair, on one hand and from being spoiled and arrogant on the other. These two words, used in conjunction and present two divergent feelings, are mentioned 8 times each, in the Quran. Below is an example; 90- ...These were men who vied in good deeds with one another, and prayed to Us with hope and fear… 21. The Prophets, 90 The word | Number of occurrence | Hope | 8 | Fear | 8 |
