Emphasizing the Sagacity of Such Things:

"Time will come when one's safety lies in ten things nine of which are in staying aloof from people, and the tenth in staying silent." - Imam Ali Al-Rida, May Allah be pleased with him and his Ahl Bayt.

One of the features of this blog is found on the side bar under the heading Lessons from the Ahl Bayt. The Ahl Bayt is composed of the immediate descendents of the last prophet Mohamed (SA) and number exactly 14 (including the prophet himself). One of the words which is oft repeated in the writings of the Imams of the Ahl Bayt and wholly underestimated in our day and age, is "sagacity".

What I have found as "this" situation i.e. the world's situation has evolved in the last decade or two that I have been investigating it, is the idea that many people must certainly feel a kind of embarrassment at the level of tolerance Israel has been indulged with merely for claiming that they are The Chosen People. Chosen for what one must wonder and to what ends?

In any event, as the world watches on......Israel continues on its own self destructive course and what a long path it has been.

I am silent on many things anymore because what I've learned after years and years of trying to tell others about the miserable ignorance existant in the world today is that you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink or think. The Lessons from the Ahl Bayt however are as current as they were back when they were uttered over a millenium ago:

"Time will come when one's safety lies in ten things nine of which are in staying aloof from people, and the tenth in staying silent." - Imam Ali Al-Rida, May Allah be pleased with him and his Ahl Bayt.
