۞
Imam Ali (AS) said, Fear Allah with the fearing of one who busies his mind with contemplation, for indeed fear [of Allah] is the best place to find security and is a restraint for the self from vices.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : خَفِ اللّهَ خَوْفَ مَنْ شَغَلَ بِالفِكْرِ قَلْبَهُ فَإنَّ الخَوْفَ مَظِنَّةُ الأمْنِ وَسِجنُ (وَ شَجْنُ) النَّفسِ عَنِ المَعاصي
