Imam Bagher (a.s)-the fifth leader of Islam after the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) said:



declare to our shiites that no one receives divine favors and bounties unless through action.



brief description :


this speech of imam bagher (a.s.) is a reply to those who suppose that they could reach the highest position before god only by adopting the name of shiism and expressing love to the household of prophet (s.a.), while we know that islam is based on action and real shiites are those whose practical program is an extraction from practical programs of imam ali (a.s.) and his companions, and basically shiite is derived from the word `moshaieat' meaning following somebody. thus those are real shiite of household of prophet (s.a.) who follow them.

قال الباقر علیه السلام

أَبْلِغْ شِيعَتَنا أَنَّهُ لا يُنالُ ما عِنْدَ اللّه إلاّ بِعَمَل

به شیعیان ما اعلام کن که هیچ کس به رحمت و بخشایش الهی نمی رسد مگر با عمل خود
