Imam further sheds light on the subject in his famous book of “an exposition on Forty Hadith” as following:
The great prophets of God were sent to this world with the light of Divine Laws.
God revealed to them heavenly books, so that they may prevent people from indulging into extravagances and immoderations, and bring the human self under the control of reason and the law of Shari’ah.
According to Imam, to bridle the human self is essential so that it may not exceed the measures of reason and Shari’ah.
Hence, every individual who subordinates himself to the Divine Laws and principles of good sense is fortunate, and it is he who attains salvation.
He finds refuge in God, the Most Exalted and the Most High, from the dangers and misfortunes, which might befall him, and thus is saved from the disgrace of assuming those beastly and hideous forms that may accompany him in the Barzakh, in the grave and on the Last Day, as the result of his vicious deeds and corrupt practices, Imam further explained.
