“…the chance to avenge you” (Ziyarat ‘Ashura)

“May Allah curse the people who drove you away from your position and removed you away from your ranks that Allah has put you in.” (Ziyarat Ashura)

“Whoever who loves us by heart and helps us with his tongue and fights our enemies would be along with us and in the same rank as we are in Paradise. Whoever loves us by heart and helps us with tongue, but doesn’t assist us in fighting our enemies would be two ranks lower. Whoever loves us by heart, but doesn’t help us either with his tongue or hand would be in Paradise.”
-Imam Ali (pbuh)

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah having said: God would Gather the people upon their intentions on the Day of Judgement.
al-Barqi, Ahmad b. Muhammad. Al-Mahaasin (THE BEAUTIES FROM THE PROGENY OF MUHAMMAD), Vol.1, Part 5, Chapter 34, P. 102.

Imam Reza said: ‘When it will be the Day of Judgment, the believer will be paused in front of God the Exalted and He will become the One Who will Pursue his Reckoning and Present his deeds unto him. So, he will look into his parchment and the first of what he would see would be his evil deed, and his colour will change due to that and his limbs will shiver and his self will panic. Then he will see his good deeds, and his eyes would be delighted and his self would be happy. Then he will look at what God the Exalted has Given him from the Rewards and his happiness would intensify. Then God the Exalted will Say to the Angels: “Bring the parchment in which are the deeds which he did not perform!” They would be reading it and they would be saying: ‘By You Mighty! You Know I did not do anything from these’. God will be Saying: “You speak the truth, but you did intend these, so We Wrote these for you!’ Then he would be Rewarded upon these.

Remembering [God] is not from rituals of the tongue nor is it from the passing of thoughts rather it is first from the remembered and then from the rememberer.

“Allah has promised those among you who believe and do good deeds, that He will make them successors on earth, as He made those before them successors, and He will strengthen their religion for them – which He has approved for them – and He will substitute security in place of their fear.

Muhammad Ibn Abbas narrates through his chain of narration on the authority of Abu Basir: I asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) about the Divine saying in His book: “He it is Who sent His Apostle with guidance and the religion of truth, that He might cause it to prevail over all religions, though the polytheists may be averse.” (Surah Taubah 9:33)
He said: “By Allah, its realization has not come yet.” I asked, “May I be your ransom, when will it be realized?” He said: “When the Qaim rises, God willing. When the Qaim rises, there will be no disbeliever and no polytheist, but that he will dislike his rise. Even if there will be a disbeliever or a polytheist inside a rock, the rock will call out, ‘O believer, there is a disbeliever or a polytheist inside me, so kill him.’
