27-3 I admonish you against boasting about us. You should say that we are servants of God, but you may state our virtues.Whoever loves us should act as we do. You should seek the assistance of piety, since it is the best assistant in the affairs of this world and the Hereafter.Do not associate with those who try to find fault with us. Do not praise us in front of our enemies. Do not express our love publicly, since then you may become despised by the kings.Adhere to righteousness since it will save you.Be inclined to what is near the Honorable the Exalted God. Try to obey God. Persevere in obeying God.How awkward would it be for a believer to enter Paradise without dignity.You should not just be hopeful of our intercession on your behalf on the Resurrection Day. You should make an effort yourself to do good deeds.You should not disgrace yourself in front of your enemies in the Hereafter. You should not deny your own rank near God in front of your enemies for this lowly world.You should forget about trying to get what others own due to God’s commands. Have you not heard that God’s Prophet (MGB) has informed us that what is near God is better and more permanent. Should a believer receive the glad tidings from the Honorable the Exalted God, he would be delighted and interested in visiting God.Do not belittle your weak brethren. The Honorable the Exalted God will not unite whoever belittles a believer with that believer in Heaven, unless he repents. You should help fulfill the needs of your brethren as soon as you realize that he needs something before he asks. Be friends for each other. Be kind to each other. Give gifts to one another. Do not be like a hypocrite who says something, but doesn’t act accordingly.Get married as this is a tradition of God’s Prophet (MGB). He (MGB) said, ‘Whoever likes to follow my traditions should get married, since getting married is one of my traditions.’ You should also try to have children, since then your large nation will be proud in the Hereafter.You should not feed your babies with an adulterer’s milk or an insane woman’s milk, since milk could transfer a mother’s illness to the child. You should not eat any birds which do not have a gizzard, a spur on its feet, or a craw . You should not eat any wild animals that have canine teeth and or birds that have claws. You should not eat a spleen since it spoils the blood. You should not wear black clothes since that was how Pharaoh dressed. You should not eat any meat glands since this may cause leprosy. You should not make comparisons regarding religious affairs as that doesn’t hold. Those who do so are the enemies of the religion. It was Satan who did so first.Do not wear rectangular shoes since Pharaoh’s shoes were that way. Pharaoh was the first person who wore such shoes.You should oppose wine-drinkers. I advise you to eat dates since they are the cure of every pain. You should obey the sayings of God’s Prophet (MGB) who said, ‘God will open a door of poverty to anyone who opens up the door of a question to himself. ’ You should ask God for forgiveness often, since that would expedite the arrival of your daily sustenance. You should rush to do good deeds, so that you may benefit from them in the Hereafter.I admonish you against arguing because it causes doubt. If you have any needs from the Honorable the Exalted Lord, you should choose any of the following three times to ask Him for it: sometime on Fridays; at the time of sunset; when the wind blows - that is at times when the gates of Heaven are opened and Mercy descends; when the birds sing and at the last hours of night when the dawn comes at which time two angels announce, ‘Is there anyone who repents whose repentance is accepted of him? Is there anyone begging for anything so that it be granted to him? Is there anyone asking for forgiveness so that he be forgiven? Is there anyone asking for anything to be given to him?’ and one responds, ‘Yes. Here I am! I am responding to the Supreme God’s invitation.’Ask (God) for your share of daily bread from dawn until sunrise. This would be better than going around after work, since this is the time at which God divides his servants’ share of daily bread.
