Not assigning the seal of the heart to infidels and hypocrites
In addition to these, there is also "sealing of the heart" about disobedient believers
They are believers, but believers who did not follow the instructions of Islam and the instructions of the Prophet, although they did not reach the level of hypocrites
"رضوا بان یکونوا مع الخوالف وطبع الله علی قلوبهم; Who is this about? It is about those people to whom the Prophet used to say let's go, Jihad, fight the infidels, they kept making excuses. In my opinion, the noble chapter of Repentance, in the part that talks about Jihad, is full of the Prophet's lamentation from these believers; These believers are motionless and featureless
"و منهم من یقول ائذن لی و لا تفتنی
; They say that our house is not safe. In order not to go to Jihad, they kept making excuses. You can see that sometimes imams say, some other officials say that our people today are better than some of the early believers
It is because of this that they are higher and more faithful
How many young and old men we have who came to the battlefield at their own insistence. did you not see? We know a lot of children from all the cities, from all the regions of the country , and I remember one case where the children were fighting to go to war, the young people wanted to go - fourteen years old, fifteen years old -But that's all? We did not see the leader of the revolution or the officials or the military commanders and the Revolutionary Guards tell a people, let's go to war, they say no, we can't come, we won't come; Whenever the people were told to come to war, they came willingly. A few months before this (1983) Imam told that whoever is in need of him on the front should go. There was a ruckus so that we had to tell the offices and employees and the like to stop, Imam didn't tell that about you. Of course, whenever the front is in need, everyone should go; It does not have administrative, professional, clergy men, etc.; Whenever the front commanders of the army and the corps announce that we need this kind of person with these specialties and these characteristics, wherever he is, however much they need, he should go until they say it is enough. If they tell me that the front needs you and you should come, it becomes an objective obligation for me to get up and go; This is how it is
At the time of the Prophet, the Prophet used to say, "Let's come.They said
ان بیوتنا عوره
let us not go, for example. You see, such situations were found in the believers of that time. Of course, they were weak. There were people whose faith was weak, they were new Muslims; But we want to say that our people have found this progress in terms of faith, that they overtook the early Muslims of Islam.; And as long as our Muslims, you brothers and sisters, have the same interest and passion in the field of sacrifice and jihad, there will be progress and your enemy is doomed to defeat. Whenever the Islamic nation falls from this state, from this enthusiasm and from this interest, God forbid, these advances will be stopped. Don’t think that without sacrifice, without effort, without struggle, God will give something to a person in the world; ever Even so far, it was because of these displays of strength and sacrifices that you made. Anyway, He says that those who were satisfied to stay in the city and not to go to the battlefield
"فطبع علی قلوبهم"
a seal was placed on their hearts; Did you pay attention? So, see, this is a believer, but the expression
"طبع علی قلوبهم"
is also about him
The meaning of sealing of hearts
One issue is, what does this sealing on their hearts mean? What happens when a person's heart is sealed? Be it the disbeliever, the hypocrite, or the believer who does little or no action, the sequence of verses such as
"فطبع علی قلوبهم"
that is a statement in different verses that makes this clear to us. It has said
"فطبع علی قلوبهم فهم لا یفقهون"
Like this verse that we are discussing now, their hearts were sealed and their hearts were closed, the result was that they do not understand good. "Jurisprudence" means accurate and deep understanding; That is, they do not understand well, they see appearances. The property of "this is the sealing of the heart"; Of course, we have the words about
فهم لا یفقهون
They do not understand, and later, God willing, I will explain that
"فهم لا یفقهون, "
also about the infidels, about the believers, there are different cases that refer to different issues; If it doesn't happen now, I will tell you later in another meeting
In some cases, He says
"و طبع الله علی قلوبهم فهم لا یعلمون"
sealing of the heart, arises and they do not find knowledge; It means less understanding, less jurisprudence; They do not even find awareness. Once upon a time, man becomes such that it does not reach the depth of a subject. Suppose for him, they discuss about the knowledge of God, they talk about Jihad, they talk about subtle human traits, he does not understand, he does not receive it at all. One time is that this is a lack of jurisprudence, that is, not understanding simple things; A veil is created in his heart and he finds a "sealing of the heart" that he does not even believe in God, minus those divine teachings that are understood by, and we do not understand this divine knowledge, that is, the principle of God, it is a simple thing; with a little attention, a person can understand It is not a problem to understand the existence of God. With one attention, a person can understand that every event, every movement, needs a creator, a mover; It is a natural thing that does not require much attention and reflection, but some people do not understand this. Some people cannot take this simple thing into their hearts. If ten thousand ordinary phenomena are shown to him separately and they say that this phenomenon arose by itself, for example, this column was not created by anyone and it was made by himself, he rejects it, he does not accept it; No one created this light and it was made by himself; rejects; This building came into being by itself, no one built it; He rejects and likewise other things, if they show him a thousand phenomenon of this kind separately and say that this was created without the hand of a creator, he rejects it, but if they say that the collection of this world was not created by the hand of a creator or a narrator he can accept and he accepts. You can see that worldly atheists accept. The atheist who accepts that the world came into being without the hand of God's power, will never accept that this bright light can come into existence by itself; This tool can be created by itself; He says, is such a thing possible? This instrument is sophisticated, delicately precise; Well, it is clear that they have spent elegance and made this. He sees this subtlety here, but he does not see the countless subtleties of creation; He does not see the delicacy of his eyes, he does not see the delicacy of his throat, he does not see the delicacy of his cells, he does not see the delicacy of his blood cells
"طبع الله علی قلوبهم فهم لا یعلمون"
He does not find, why? Due to the fact that the door of his heart is closed, he has reached a point where his heart cannot take and absorb truths and knowledge so clearly and so simply; Sometimes it happens like this
Sometimes it gets even worse; We have a casee in the Quran that I have noted here
"و نطبع علی قلوبهم فهم لا یسمعون"
they do not hear; It means that they do not understand even the sensory things. We have people whose heart closed, that is, their closed hearts have brought their work to a point where they don't even understand, they don't feel; They don't seem to hear what should be heard; [Even] we have seen many tangible things from such sealed hearts. He sees the state of this society, he sees this transformation, he sees this great excitement in these people. He sees the enmity of the East and the West with this system and the unique and legendary resistance of this system, this organization, this nation with the East and the West, at the same time he cannot understand that this system is an independent system and the people of these anti-revolutionaries who are sitting outside have taken the rusted speakers of foreigners and are talking through them. Fortunately, they are few. They are weak numerically, they are also weak qualitatively and quantitatively - they are seeing that today this nation is the only nation that is resisting great powers by relying on God; This is obvious. The reason is that the East and the West are fighting with us, they are conflicting, they are fighting. You see, this Iraq is a manifestation of the confrontation between the East and the West with us, Isn’t it the same? Eastern weapons, Western weapons, various experts from countries affiliated to the East, from countries affiliated to the West have gathered here so that they might be able to strike a blow at us; Everyone sees these. Baghdad regime's dependence on the West and the East are both observed in a way that they are dependent on the East in terms of the way of thinking and the ways and methods that they announced in advance; Also, in terms of the maximum weapons dependencies, they are dependent on the East and now they are being helped by the leaders of the Eastern Bloc. Armaments, weapons, ammunition and to the extent that it is no longer imaginable, and in terms of actions and practical policies dependent on the West, they accepted the instigation of America and the American representatives, they moved to their instigation, they did what they wanted, they are still continuing to do what they say; Of course, they have received a lot of financial aid from the West weapons is also widely enjoying; both Western countries directly and Western countries indirectly; They also have American and non-American tools from some Arab countries. So here, the Baghdad regime is a confluence of destructive policies of the East and the West, and it is also attacking the Islamic Republic of Iran. They are seeing these; This is obvious; it needs no argument. Even though they observe these things, at the same time, they have no shame about claiming anti-imperialism, fighting against the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which has the strongest position against global arrogance, and expressing closeness and friendship with the dependent government of Iraq. As you can see what they did and are doing; What are these? This is
فهم لا یسمعون
Not seeing the corruption of Pahlavi and the services of the revolution; from the examples of sealing of the heart
We used to live in a society that was corrupted in every way. Corruption was scientific; Because the science of what today's world boasts and praises had reached its maximum weakness and decline in Iran; Our universities did not have scientific efforts, our scientific apparatuses were not efficient, from the scientific point of view, even the last particles of a correct scientific movement, we were dependent on the outside, there was moral corruption; bribery, discrimination, oppression, trampling on the rights of others, looting the treasury, administrative corruption, sexual corruption; All kinds of moral corruption were common here and were promoted. If someone wanted to stay healthy, stay moral, stay faithful, it was like someone holding molten iron in their hands
It was like this. Those who were believers and wanted to remain believers, how hard they had to live in the administrative institutions; You all remember; Those who were in the offices know. If a young person wanted to stay free from sexual corruption, it would be difficult for him, it was possible with effort on the streets, doors, walls, radio, television, newspapers, magazines, books, and the behavior of the country's officials, and all of them were promoting moral corruption; sexual corruption in their women, their men in a scandalous and scandalous way; It was like this. Among the nations of the third world, there were still oppressed countries like us, but there were really few nations in the world that were like our nation in terms of the pressure of various corruptions, which put it under the staple of corruption with this kind of pressure and gave it this kind of pressure; This was the situation of our nation
In terms of our economic life, we were moving towards more dependence day by day; These are things that have been going on for years - four or five years. You are listening; What do I repeat? It was the agricultural situation, it was the assembly-related industry, it was the customs and systems that governed all our affairs; Our administrative system; Our military system, even our production system, our consumption system; Everything was taken from western models. Our foreign policy was dependent; Our internal affairs were at the behest and according to the wishes of foreigners; Our oil sales were to them and for them and at their desired price; The purchase of our sex was from them and it was according to their wish and it was according to their interest and the loss of our own nation; This was another; Just like a cancer patient whose cancer has taken over his entire body; This is how we were
Revolution will not happen without introduction. The people's revolution needs continuous work on the people. We worked on the people for many years. We tried to tell the people. The people were made to understand. The people became aware. The young generation started to move. That is, I would rather say that the leaders of that system were destroyed, not that the system. That system itself remained, until we see those who came to work later what will they do, what will they do to this nation? Some of those corruptions were resolved by themselves; Because they had force, they spread corruption, when that force was removed, that corruption disappeared, they forced and encouraged people to move towards moral and practical dependence. When this pressure was removed, people returned to themselves to their own habits, to their own traditions, to their own beliefs, to their own long-term and ancient knowledge; A bit like this; A lot of advertising. Now you look and see Our youth are interested in work, they are interested in constructive jihad, they sit in the fronts in the trenches, they work, they try, but they do not seek corruption; I am not saying that there is not corrupt; Why, I know, but the corruption is no longer dominant; Faith is the dominant. You look at the Friday prayers, look at the congregation, see it full of young people, go to the fronts, see those who were idle in the streets, wandering aimlessly, where are they now? Either they are on the front. They are either in the revolutionary organizations or in the government organizations, they are working, they are trying
The same women who roamed freely that day, those women of that day have not emigrated from this country so that a handful of new women can come - today they are the ones who are clenching their fists and shouting in these marches. They are the ones whose children are going to the front; They are the ones who supported the back of the front; They are the ones who have enlightened the life of women in this society, a revolutionary and spiritual space; It is in their laps that these baby lions are being raised; The same women are the ones who have changed. is it true They are seeing these now; This is a sight to see. If a person comes into our society and walks a little in these streets, he will see this; Everyone can see that it is touchable; is it true But some people do not see the same
"فهم لا یسمعون"
They do not understand these facts so clearly; Who are they? Are they infidels? Not from the disbelievers who are not expected; There are some people who live in the same society and believe in the same religion, but they do not understand and do not touch what can be clearly seen. They don't see how much this nation, this revolution and this country has changed; They don't see how much corruption has decreased, how much prostitution has decreased, how much the corrupt unemployment of young people has decreased, the promiscuity has decreased, the luxuries of women have decreased; They do not see these; What does this come frome
"فهم لا یسمعون "
This is the sealing of their hearts
Eyes open an open ear so see, sometimes it happens that sealing of the heart in a person causes him not to understand even the obvious things.
The possibility of opening the seal of the heart
There are several other articles about this issue of "sealing of heart" that I don't know how much I can continue now - one of them is a question that I need to answer, are those whose hearts God has closed and become
طبع علی قلوبهم
" - can they not come back? These can no longer be guided? This heart is closed and can't be opened anymore? This is a question.The answer is yes, it is openable. This "طبع قلب", the closing of the heart, came about as a result of their own actions, which is another discussion that I apparently don't have the time to say now; Maybe, God willing, I said later in another meeting, but now, by any fate, they themselves may return; But this return requires a strength, a movement; Like a person who is confused, he is drunk, he is asleep; Whatever this sleepy person who is also confused, for example, he has not slept for hours or they wake him up after taking sleeping pills, he rolls over, he makes a sound, his eyes close again; Have you seen some of these young people who have not slept until late at night, they have worked all day, they are tired, they have slept for two or three hours, you want to wake them up for morning prayer, whatever sounds you play, they hear it, they feel it, they open their eyes, but they don't have the strength to get up. It cannot stand up at all, it has fallen; is this [person] can't wake up? It is not possible to wake him up at all? Of course, in one moment, when he hears a voice, when he feels that he is being woken up, if he overcomes the desire to sleep for a moment, that desire to sleep that has taken over his whole being - to make a decision, to make a will, to give himself a move, he wakes up; It can be like the rest of the people; He gets up and stands, there is no sign that until a moment ago he was lying there like a dead man. It takes strength, it takes a strong will, it takes a movement, it takes courage so that those whose hearts are taken and influenced by false propaganda, lust, worldliness, power-seeking, misplaced pride, their hearts have become the toy of misunderstandings and ignorance, open their hearts again, prepare themselves to hear the truth, open their ears, open their eyes, and wake up. [It] comes with one power with one movement; Unfortunately, few people use this power. In history, we have those who make a decision and suddenly turn back. You have heard stories and I don't want to repeat; For example, he had been stealing for a lifetime, and he suddenly realized that for how long, for how long [will I be like this?] for a lifetime, he was a servant of oppressive institutions; He has been engaged in prostitution and corruption for a lifetime, and he has been drowned in this mire, and he has suddenly recovered and came to his senses. What am I doing? How long will I be like this? You have heard the story of this Taebeen from all kinds of repenting and turning back; These are from the same group. These are those who, even though their hearts were closed, their hearts were closed by sin, they were deprived of hearing the truths and listening to the divine message. They came by themselves; These are but a few
"فلا یومنون الا قلیلا"
Surah Nisa, after mentioning
"طبع الله علیها بکفرهم"
says
"فلا یومنون الا قلیلا
Those who have fallen into this state do not believe except for a few; So it is possible. Those who are in this state, when they see that these beliefs, the manifestation of this heavenly slur that comes from the throats of the revolutionaries, the righteous believers and shakes the conscious hearts like that, does not have any effect on them then they feel that there is a flaw in their work, They can open their hearts by remembering God, praying, worshiping, considering that the month of Ramadan is near now, by going to the house of God, asking God for refuge, and worshiping God; Give the necessary openness to their hearts. I hope that, God willing, we will not be among those oblivious people who will be subject to this noble verse. Regarding these issues related to the "sealing of the heart" which is the characteristic of the hypocrites, there are still other matters that, God willing, if I have the opportunity, I will present them in the next meeting.
