In the Name of Allah, the Most Graceful, the Most Merciful.

‘The Rules of Building The Future for Young People’

          Young people specifically, are interested in rebuilding their future to ensure their happy and decent life. They are seeking for the sake of accomplishing their studies and getting a job, a good wife, a nice house and comfortable car. It’s a right project guaranteed by God for every human because he is the best creature, “We have honored the children of Adam” (Al-Isra:70). God ensures the human what would bring him from decent life. The statues of the promised state at the hands of Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him), (God we wish a decent state).

         This is clearer that we need to establish in this our conversation, that a human should have turned thoughts which should have be included in building his meaningful future to ensure his decent life at the end.

          Building the future has theoretical and practical tools which mean knowledge and practical application. For the first day, our speech this needs frameworks, determinants, and rules adjusting his life and his practical behavior. Those general rules and frameworks taken from Quran, Sunna, blessed prayers and wisdom words from scholars and the knowers.

         The first verse in Quran is “In the name of Allah, the Most Graceful, the Most Merciful”. It is a verse which you use it when firstly you start does your work, projects and your steps. By saying this will make your work blessed. In the path charted by Allah for the sake of making your work valid, productive and accepted. According to the prophet Mohammed’s saying “Every matter that does not begin with ‘In the name of Allah, the Most Graceful, the Most Merciful’ is incomplete.”([2]).

       What comes after the verse in the name of Allah is “ALL PRAISE BE TO ALLAH, Lord of all the world “.Another rule, that the praise indeed commendation and fact. Allah blessed be his name, is the main cause of reasons, he plans things and to make things going on the hands of what he wants. All praises be Allah .One of the common mistakes to be said “If not someone does something to me, things never be happened “because Allah what cause reason and those creatures are means for executing God’s judgment .We should probable thank them what mentioned in the saying “whom are not thank the creature are not thank God”. To encourage a way know, but within the thank fullness of God not towards achieving independence. Some hadiths considered as an invisible Shirk or association. Allah is the one who made things went well according to the normal Sunna. To be catered for without God the half of the reality the complete fact when God is the first dynamo and the first who plans things and the one behind things.

          Another rule “You alone we worship and seek help from”. No worship and no obedience, but to Allah the almighty. We don’t obey another unless if his obedience from God which knowledge able and practical. There is a verse about parents “If they try to make you associate with me that of which you have no knowledge, then do not obey them”,(Al-Ankabut:8). There should not be swayed by Satan, or by lust, or by traditions and outworn usages, or by ideologies and agendas that are away from God. There should not be obedience to judge without revelation and without reverting to the law (Sharia) of God weather they were political leaders, tribal leaders, or community leaderships or leaders in the act of religion. They are all delusional people, God says “He shall be at the head of his people on the Day of Resurrection, and drive them into hell like cattle driven to water.  .what an evil watering-place to reach!” (Hud :98).

            To God we have to turn for help, he handles reins and the real one who makes plans. Turning for help not to God is like unable person who has nothing, but the natural sources or ways that God made for him. When a person got sick, he goes to the doctor for treatment. With the decisive believe that God is the reason for curing as well as the real doctor. He is the one who let the symptoms to be shown in order to be checked by a doctor accurately. He is the one that by his creation that we have the medications and makes the body interacts with the doctor. He deposited into the human the mental potentialities that could help him to be a doctor and so on. Everything happens by God.

             According to the verse “And the good you do shall be known to God. Provide for the journey, and the best of provisions is piety” (Al-Baqarah : 197).we have a very long journey to the another world that we do not know everything about. The traveller needs to set his kits in this life since it’s a short journey and could be avoided any shortage even with the help of other. The other world is an eternal life that a man can be busy of his parents, his offspring and his needs. So, who is going to clue us in about what to have with us for this journey? God the one who knows everything, tells us by his frank mercy that “The best of provisions is piety. O men of understanding obey me” (Al-Baqarah: 197).

           God says “We are all to God and to him we shall return” (Al-Baqarah: 156). This is another rule teaches you not to grief about something you lost and don’t hold back about something that God needs from you even yourself in Jihad, your money for paying the rights of legitimate because at last, you and everything back to you will revert to Allah and you will get nothing from that.

          Many rules are taken from Quran as well as from Hadiths. An example that has been mentioned in the prophet’s commandments to Abi Thar (O Aba Thar: Pray to Allah like you are seeing him, if you cannot see him, he sees you). This commandment establish for in important case in the life is dealing with God, pray for him and obey him like you see him not by eyes because God is not visible, but by the conscience, by insight and by the good heart. By applying those, you will find him by your side.

          Allah says in this verse “Is your Lord is not sufficient? He is a witness over all things” (Fussilat: 53). If you cannot see him clearly, or sins or inattention undoubtedly, he sees you and you are under the watchful eye of God only in every movement of yours. How your place would be in the place of the Almighty God.  According to the saying of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) “Who makes an action that is an impiety against the God was far to the hope and close to what it warns”. By this saying, it is cutting corners and determines the ways of accessibility to the goal and achieving the destination instead of involving in the unholy ways and never gotten something from it, but losing. This means the same thing when someone has dishonest relationship with a girl and involved himself; therefore he will never get something and never achieved his need from the commonly known doors.

          The holy prayers coated with large amount of those rules for behavior, education, refinement and reaching to the impeccability, so revert to the prayer of Imam Ali in the morning and ‘Arafah’ prayer to imam Hussein and a prayer called ‘Good Morals’  or ( Makarem Al-Akhlak).

          Briefly, when all the examples become clearer, work on yourself by having a record of those rules to review them constantly and to renovate your morals when to look over it.

          This is a detailed explanation to the origin of the idea and a quick exhibition for some examples. It needs a detailed book explaining to us a meaning of how to put to ourselves rules, needs for those rules, where we get those rules and a detailed explanation to a sentence from those rules as well for the sake of to be a map for subliminal and impeccable, by God willing.
