Respects paid to martyrdom of Imam Sadiq (AS)

Millions of venerable supporters pay their respects to Shia Islam’s sixth spiritual leader Imam Sadiq (AS) on his martyrdom anniversary on Thursday.

A descendent of both Islam’s Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the first Shia imam, Imam Ali (AS), Imam Sadiq (AS) is particularly known as a prominent jurist and mystic.

Please take time to reflect on these selected adages attributed to the illustrious Imam Sadiq (AS):

"If a person gains knowledge and does not act upon it, it is just like a person has treasure and does not use it"

"...whoever said there is no God but Allah, a tree is planted for him in the garden…  however, do not send fire for them to burn them"

"Fear Allah as if you had seen Him. If you do not see Him, surely He see's you. If you think that He (Allah) does not see you, then you are an unbeliever"

“Whoever honors you, then honor him. And whoever scorns you, then honor yourself from him”
