The Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) says:
"There are two groups of my Ummah that when they are pious, my Ummah will be upright and when they are immoral my Ummah will be corrupt."
The Messenger of Allah [s] was asked who they were, and he answered: "The religious scholars and rulers.
"Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 2, p. 49Le

Prophète de Dieu a dit:
Il y a deux groups de mon umma : les érudits et les gouverneurs, s'ils étaient pieux, le peuple deviendrait vertueux et s'ils étaient immorals, le peuple deviendrait corrompu.

قال رسول الله صل الله علیه و آله

صنفان من الناس اذا صلحا صلح الناس و اذا فسدا فسد الناس العلماء و الامراء

دو گروه از مردمند که اگر صالح بودند مردم بصلاح آیند و اگر فاسد بودند مردم بفساد گرایند دانشوران و زمامداران

Imam Sadiq (a.s) -the sixth leader of Islam after the Prophet Muhammad said:
whosoever engages in fulfilling requirements and needs of his religious brothers, god will fulfil his requests.
bihar-ul-anwar/ Volume 74/ P 286

قال الصادق علیه السلام

مَنْ كَانَ فِى حاجَةِ أَخِيْهِ الْمُسْلِم كَانَ اللّهُ فى حاجَتِهِ

هر کس در حال رفع حاجت وبرآوردن نیاز برادر مومنش باشد خداوند نیاز و احتیاج او را بر طرف خواهد کرد

It is narrated from Imam Sadiq as:
No one boasts to the others unless for the inferiority he feels in himself!

brief description:
nowadays, psychological and psychoanalytic researches have proved that arrogance and boasting to others is nothing else than an inferiority complex. those who are affected to this complex and suffer from it, resort to this wrong way that is magnifying themselves artificially for compensating their deficiencies, and thereby they add to their social inferiority and make themselves more hated.
this psychological point is clearly observed in the miraculous speech narrated from imam sadiq a.s. but the faithful people are always modest before others due to their internal dignity.

قال امام صادق علیه السلام

ما مِنْ رَجُل تَجَبَّرَ أَوْ تَكَبَّرَ إلاّ لِذِلَّة يَجِدُها فِى نَفْسِهِ

هیچ فردی خود ستایی نمی کند مگر به خاطر ذلتی که در درونش احساس می کند

Imam Ali (P.B.U.H) -the first leader of Islam after the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) -said:
truth is heavy and difficult but pleasant, and falsehood is light and easy but painful and dangerous.

brief discription:
how eloquent and interesting is description of imam ali (a.s.) regarding truth and falsehood in the above short sentence! usually truth has a harsh appearance and occasionally a bitter taste but is very pleasant. it is easily absorbed by the body of community and society is strengthened thereby.
but falsehood is very easy and sometimes very delicious and sweet, but its effect is fatal like a delicious but poisonous food which its destructive effect on the heart, stomach, and intestines becomes manifest when it is swallowed. falsehood too like this food destroys different organs of society.

قال امیر المومنین علی بن ابی طالب علیه السلام

إنَّ الْحَقَّ ثَقِيْلٌ مَرِىءٌ، وَ إنَّ الْباطِلَ حَفِيفٌ وَبِىْءٌ

حقیقت سخت است و سنگین و باطل آسان و سبک اما دردناک

Imam Sadegh (P.B.U.H ) - one of the Islam's leader after Prophet Muhammad- says:

an envious person sustains a loss to himself before causing a loss to whom he envies.

bihar-ul- anwar, volume 73, page 255

brief description
the spirit of envy refers to not tolerating the others having a blessing, and trying to deprive them from that blessing, or causing a loss to them in other ways.
in fact, an envious person always activates as a retardation factor not a developmental factor.
envy is a big moral disease and in psychological view, the jealous person suffers more loss and also is melted, retarded and humiliated more than others. thus it is better that he try for precedence instead of causing others to be retarded.

قال الصادق عليه السلام

الحاسِدُ مُضِرُّ بِنَفْسِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُضُرّ بِالَْمحْسُودِ

انسان حسود قبل از انکه به آنکه نسبت به او حسد ورزيده ضرر بزند، به خودش آسيب مي رساند

The Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) says:

"The honour of a believer lies in his vigilance at night and his esteem lies in his autonomy from people."

Bihar-ul-Anwar

قال رسول الله صلی الله علیه و آله و سلم

شرف المومن قیامه باللیل و عزه استغناوه عن الناس

شرف مومن در شب زنده داری اوست و عزت وی در بی نیازی از مردم است

Islam's prophet (P.B.U.H) says:
one who knows something and does not observe it, and does not use his knowledge, his punishment in the hereafter would be the most severe one.

brief description
in islam's logic, knowledge is always a tool for practice and improving individual and society's life. otherwise it has no value. those who commit a sin unknowingly have less responsibility, but high responsibility shall be on the burden of those who commit a sin knowingly, and those who neglect making aware different levels of society, and whosoever enjoys a small or big share of knowledge, shall bear the same responsibility accordingly.

قال رسول الله صل الله

أَشَدُّ النّاسِ عَذَاباً فِى الْقِيامَةِ عَالِمٌ لَمْ يَعْمَلْ بِعِلْمِهِ وَ لَمْ يَنْفَعْهُ عِلْمُه

بد ترین مردم در روز قیامت، عالمی است که به علمش عمل نمی کند و دانشش او را سود نمی رساند
