Ma`rifat

This paper expounds on the words of Amir al-Mu'minnān (peace be upon him) regarding the attributes of the true Shi'ites. The humility of the heart before God and continuity in remembering Him are the other characteristics of the true Shi'ites; «خَاشِعاً قَلْبُهُ‏ ذَاكِراً رَبَّهُ». Any believer should be humble when remembering God and listening to the divine verses of the Qur'an. Remembering God leads to humility and flexibility in the heart, and submission and humility of man before the greatness of God, which manifests itself in prostration before Him, is necessary for humility of the heart and the influence of God's word on the heart. Real Shiites always remember God and practice humility before God's words and His greatness. They are accustomed to practicing good deeds and worshiping; they do righteous deeds passionately and enthusiastically, and it is difficult for them to leave those deeds. God has provided those who seek to do good deeds with the needed means. We have to prepare the ground for remembrance of God and tenderness and humility of our hearts before the divine verses and words, so that we constantly get attracted to good deeds , become interested in them and get away from evil deeds.
