According to the hadith of Imam Hussein, in the Book of Bihar al-Anwar (Beirut), c. 65: 156), which is narrated as follows:
إنَّ شِیعَتَنا مَن سَلمَت قُلُوبُهُم مٍن کلِّ غَشٍّ وَ غِلٍّ وَ دَغَلٍ
Translation: ‘Indeed our Shi’ahs are only those individuals, whose hearts are purified from any form of cheating, treachery, stealing and deception’
Based on this narration, if someone deals with fraud, deceives and deceive others, s/he will not be regarded as a true Shi’ah. The hadith has highlighted the importance of this issue in a very clear and explicit way. One must constantly remind him or herself that God is the supervisor of the actions! My advice to you: ‘be careful while facing any problems-even a moment- not to think about considering fraud, deceiving, or any type of deception! Leave your concerns to Him and consolidate the pure belief in His divine power. The reason should be obvious, as, if honesty were chosen, being truthful would result in that God surely solving those obstacles and problems.
However if someone -while facing a problem in life- immediately surrenders to select fraud, cheating, deception and/or other various types of treachery, he/she should think about the cause. Was it because of weakened faith, or having limited trust in God? Or due to the poor idea that God’s treasures and funds are insufficient?! Perhaps the cause was being inspired by sick people in his/her environment? Is it to shackled faith or lacking profound theological knowledge? Indeed, if poverty, extreme needs, discrimination, or injustice etc.. lead one to surrender to deception, this indicates that one does not believe in the Omnipotent Powerful and Bountiful God! Or lacking the faith that God can solve any problem! Maybe it is caused by the wrong belief that disgusting wealth is worthier than God’s satisfaction! These are just examples as to why someone would deviate from the path of absolute servitude to Almighty God. But the right path is manifested and summarized in the following: With the occurrence of any problem or any greed, or lustful desire, one has to return to His/Her Lord, and surrender to the pure teachings of the Qur’an. Some of the divine verses that may intensify the belief in God’s treasures are as follows:
(أَنَّ اللَّهَ الَّذي خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ قادِرٌ عَلى أَنْ يَخْلُقَ مِثْلَهُم))(اسراء: 99))
( Do they not consider that God, Who has created Heaven and Earth, is able to create the like of them? ) One has to reflect and remind oneself that God was able to create the heavens and the earth. When I worship such a Lord, He would certainly assist me. Taking those ideas into consideration should persuade the wayfarer to return to the path of honesty in order to receive God’s reward: (((لِيَجْزِيَ اللَّهُ الصَّادِقينَ بِصِدْقِهِم…)) (احزاب: 24))(so God may reward the truthful for their truthfulness). On the contrary, any shortcoming on the path of truth, will result in the punishment of divine punishment, (((لِيَجْزِيَ اللَّهُ الصَّادِقِينَ بِصِدْقِهِمْ وَ يُعَذِّبَ الْمُنافِقِين)) (همان (so God may reward the truthful for their truthfulness and punish hypocrites). Therefore, one must remain careful, keep much in mind remembering God, strengthen belief in the omnipotent power of God, and if some urge from Satan prompts him/her, seek refuge with God. If for any reason, she/he has neglected these guidelines, he or she should immediately remember these constructive ideas and seek the help of individuals, who were considered by the Qur’an as “the learned of the people of the Book”! As such s/he should consult with them and seek their assistance considering any form of needed compensation.
