The Pillars of Faith
ایمان کے چار ستون
الاِْيمَانُ عَلَى أَرْبَعِ دَعَائِمَ: عَلَى الصَّبْرِ، وَالْيَقِينِ، وَالْعَدْلِ، وَالْجِهَادِ.
ایمان چار ستونوں پر قائم ہے: صبر، یقین، عدل اور جہاد۔
“Faith stands on four pillars: Patience (Sabr), Conviction (Yaqeen), Justice (‘Adl), and Struggle (Jihad).”
Reflections: In this profound analysis, Imam Ali ؑ explains that faith is not a mere feeling but a structural framework for life. Patience allows one to endure trials; Conviction provides clear vision; Justice ensures balance in dealings; and Struggle keeps the soul active against evil. Each pillar has branches that define the complete character of a true believer.
